Thanks Melanie. I thought you would - I always enjoyed your devotionals. I just wasn't sure if you were up and ready to tackle it again. God bless and if I can check in I will - can't wait to see what God has for you to share with us.

I am going to be out of pocket next Monday - Wednesday morning. Melanie would you, or someone else who reads these daily messages be willing to post a scripture or devotional for those days? Please let me know as soon as possible. Thank you, Your Sister in Christ - Zee

Amen!

AMEN Sister!

I do Melanie. Tonight our Pastor challenged us to read the book of Daniel ~ really read and study it. He spoke on "Compromise" and how Daniel would not compromise his belief in His God.

Good scripture for sure. Love it and what it says to us.

"For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord bestows favor and honor; no good thing does he withhold from those whose walk is blameless." - Psalm 84:11 God is our sovereign protector and He is all the armor we will ever need! He knows the very depths of our hearts and will honor our faith in Him with goodness. :)

DS I join with you right now in the precious name of Jesus for continued healing in this child’s body, continued wisdom for her medical team and peace and comfort for her parents & family. There is power in the precious Blood of the Lamb and I whole heartedly believe in the power of prayer. I was sitting here listening to…

DS I think your statement "I know that it's not self discipline...unless it's the conscious choice to submit to God's authority that results in "self" being disciplined.... " is exactly what the scripture is talking about. Self-discipline to me is the willingness of my spirit to listen to God's voice and do what I know He…

Oh yes, please Lord. Thanks Melanie - good verse.

Amen. Good verse for today.

From your avatar I can only guess that you are male and surely have heard that males need to take in more calories than their female counterparts. If we ate like guys do we'd all be looking for another guy because many guys wouldn't like us fluffy & sassy. Our 1200 calories are probably equivalent to your 2500+ calories ~…

I can see that working. I took my current weight x 12 and came up with 1250. I do know if I go over 1200 every day I gain - I do not lose so I do my best to stay around 1170 - 1200 total, not always eating back calories burned. I do know when I reach goal and maintain for a week or so I will have to increase my intake. I…

We are all individual and different and what works for another person of likeness to you might not work for you. Age, height, weight to lose, activity level, health/medical issues & metabolism all go into our weight loss. We each have to decide, hopefully with the advice of your doctor, how much and how quickly we want to…

Yes ma'am he does. All of our politicians do. We don't have to agree with their politics but we do have to pray for them for wisdom to do what is best for us & our country and communities.

Melanie I agree we need to have some "God time' every day. But I also believe we need one day to truly rest our bodies as He intended and to devote praise & worship time more fully - and to be spiritually fed.

Melanie I never know who it might be for but God does. And if not someone here who might need it and come across it, then to be passed forward to whomever the Lord leads. We are just his messengers.

I love yogurt – I hate greek yogurt – it tastes like eating flavored sand. I prefer the Carbmaster Yogurt (Fred Meyer/Kroger) with 60 calories/6 oz; 4g carbs, 3g sugars, 1.5g total fat and some decadent flavors like White Chocolate Raspberry, Black Forest Cake, Red Velvet Cake, Banana Cream Pie

I eat cereal almost daily and have since 2008. I just love it because it is refreshing ~ even in the winter. I eat 1cup of Special K Fruit & Yogurt, Special K Cinnamon Pecan, Cheerios Peanut Butter, Cheerios Dulce de Leche, Kashi GoLean Crisp! Cinnamon Crumble OR Kashi GoLean Crisp! Toasted Berry Crumble with 1 C Fat Free…

I love it, I love it, I love it. We are so wonderful, created in HIS image - even when we don't realize our own worth He tells us about it and shows us every day. I pray that you realize your worth in His eyes.

I have one weekly MAD - Metabolism Adjusting Day where I allow myself to splurge - never say cheat because that conjures up guilt. And yes I log every BLT. Why not since it is planned?

I have to say that for the most part (only two rather snide posts so far) this has been the nicest bunch of helpful replies I've seen on here. These are the absolute best & truthful answers possible and I hope Dancing follows this advice. One day slipping up and falling down does NOT blow all your hard work so far. A fall…

You know, when I read this scripture this morning I thought of my weight loss journey. Since I believe it is God's good will that we have a conscious awareness of what we eat (gluttony is sinful and leads to overweight & many medical issues) and the condition of our bodies and He will help us if we lean on Him for this…

Somehow "I have two young children (5 & 2) and am happily married." doesn't go well with "Lonely nights with redbox and a glass of wine....."

Hands down Special K Fruit & Yogurt or Cinnamon Pecan with Fat Free Milk and fresh/frozen mixed fruit on top OR Dulce de Leche or Cinnamon Burst Cheerios same scenario. I add 1TBSP local, raw honey and 1/2 - 1TBSP EVOO also.

Deuteronomy 31:8 New Living Translation (NLT) 8 Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord will personally go ahead of you. He will be with you; he will neither fail you nor abandon you.”

I just have to add these two comments/scriptures from two friends that I saw on Facebook this morning. Actually this is Mother and grown son. Michael Fleck Don't be distracted with the worries of the world. God said "I have not given you the spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of sound mind! We have peace in…

Has anyone noticed that every scripture I've posted this week has been about love? God's love for us is unconditional. He sent His Son Jesus to die for our sins and when Jesus ascended into the Heavens to sit at the right hand of the Father He then sent the third part of the Holy Trinity, the Holy Spirit to love, guide,…

Good word.

I love that scripture. In our world today it is so easy to 'not love' those around us because they are different, do believe like we do, hurt us, threaten our lives & security. I certainly don't like them & what they do but I do need to love them and pray for them.
