To Plan or not to plan?

Since I’ve began this weight loss journey I decided not to have a weight loss plan. I was just going to wing it and ask God to honor my decision not to have a plan. I was wrong! God doesn’t work that way. We see through scripture that God always has a plan. You can see it all the way from Geneses to Revelation. One example is in Joshua 6:2-5.


2 Then the LORD said to Joshua, "See, I have delivered Jericho into your hands, along with its king and its fighting men. 3 March around the city once with all the armed men. Do this for six days. 4 Have seven priests carry trumpets of rams' horns in front of the ark. On the seventh day, march around the city seven times, with the priests blowing the trumpets. 5 When you hear them sound a long blast on the trumpets, have all the people give a loud shout; then the wall of the city will collapse and the people will go up, every man straight in."

I believe my Jericho is my weight and my tools are a good nutritional plan, a diet, and God will deliver me from this strong hold but I must obey God. A part of that will be to lay down my bad eating habits, pick up good ones and stay focused on God.

Now, weight loss plans are abundant, if you don’t believe me just Google diet and see what you get. I’ve been praying on which one I should choose and God gave me the answer through a friend who wrote one. She gave it to me last night and I’ll start it soon. I still believe that my major problem is emotional eating and I’ll keep you up to date on what strategies I’ll use to overcome that impulse. Until my next blog I pray that God will bless you.
