in Motivation and Support
Good morning! My first week back on FP after a LONG time away was pretty easy,but this second week I am struggling. I have off work for the summer(teacher) and thought it would be a good time to try to get back on track. I was tempted to give up the past few days but have to decided not to!! I believe i can do all the things God wants me to do with his help. I think he wants me to lose weight and stop feeding my emotions. The Bible says with every temptation God provides a way out. So when I am tempted today I am going to ask Him to help me ffind that HEALTHY way out.

    Good Morning. I read your post and wanted to tell you that you are right. Focus on God today to get you through. Matthew 11:28-30
    28 "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Count your blessings. Once you realize how valuable you are and how much you have going for you, the smiles will return, the sun will break out, the music will play, and you will finally be able to move forward with the life that God intended for you with grace, strength, courage, and confidence. These last couple of years have been a great test for me. I too lost a bit of weight (100 pounds), gained about 40 back, now am ready to start again. In the meantime, ten weeks ago had a double masectomy. My story is very long. Much too much to write right now, but I know God has been ever present in my life. He has and will continue to find a way out for me and for you too. Have a great day and let God shine through you.

    Thanks for the encouragement. I am inspired by your story although I have not heard all of it. I believe we all have struggles, "crosses" to bear. I can not BEGIN to know what it is like to have physical illnes/disease but I know when we do SHARE our struggles with others we trust, it helps!! I have other struggles that I do not feel safe sharing here but I no I am not alone. I have God number one, and I have found other godly women who inspire me and encourage me that share the same struggles. I believe in support groups. i believe God wants us to help each other in healthy ways..... and your post encourages me. May His peace be with you.....the best kind!! :heart:
