Way to Fail...NOT!

Have you ever had a day where everything went wrong?

• Got up late

• Didn’t have a quiet time with God...not enough time

• Dog has an accident before he could go outside

• Kids giving you a hard time about getting ready for school

• Finally you get to work...late...

You all know what I’m talking about...then you go through the day trying to catch up not asking God to help, not even thinking about our heavenly Father. Why do we do this? The scripture says:

6Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7 (NIV)

If we just stop take a step back and ask God to take control..He will and then we have someone walking us through this messed up day, however we don’t ask for God’s help. Why do we have a hard time with this? I’ve heard all the excuses before...He’s too busy with big issues to care about my bad day; I’m not important enough for Him to help me. How wrong we are...He cares about every detail of our life. The scripture says:

For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. Psalm 139:13

Does this sound like a God who doesn’t care or is too busy for you and me? I don’t think so. Well, I had a day similar to the one I mentioned above. I didn’t ask God to help me and I just let life happen and I paid the price. Instead of going to God for comfort I went to food. I know, I know, Way to Fail...WAIT; I’m a child of God! I can’t fail because He loves me I only had a minor setback. The scripture says:

16 for though a righteous man falls seven times, he rises again... Proverbs 24:16 (NIV)

All I have to do is ask God for forgiveness, get up, brush myself off and say “Here I am Lord, what do you need me to do next.” God does care even when we have a bad day, we just need to ask Him to walk it with us.

God Bless

Starting Point

This is my first blog and I just want to start out by saying: I’m not a writer. Please forgive any grammatical errors you will see. Now that we’ve got that out of the way; I feel like God has lead me to this place in my life and I need to share it with you. Let me start off by saying I’m a foodie. I love to eat good food and it shows. I’m also an emotional eater. If I’m really stressed out I go to food for comfort. This is not good since I’m about 60 pounds overweight and starting to feel the effects of it through my health. I’ve tried just about every diet out there. Some are good and I’ve lost weight on like Weight Watchers and some not so good like the “No Carb Diet” that is impossible to do. These didn’t work because I didn’t address the issue of why I gained weight. I eat for comfort! My theory is food doesn’t reject you; it doesn’t judge you and is always available even when you have road rage...LOL. Well, we all know that emotional eating is hard to deal with. I think this is the reason I’ve ballooned up to a whopping...dare I say it...172 pounds. This will be my journey on how God will help me to overcome this issue. I will be searching scripture and books written on how to deal with emotional eating. I’m not sure how long it will take me but with God’s help I’ll be able to accomplish this goal. I’ll try to post a couple of times a week but no less than once a week.


God Bless...
