The Bible says, “Whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of
God.” I Cor 10:31
The Holy Spirit has
convicted me that eating is an area of my life which I have not allowed God to
take control of.

Confessions time:
I eat when I am
stressed – which has been a lot lately.
I eat out of “peer
pressure” or “socially” – which means I am letting others and not God have
control of my eating patterns.
I reward myself with
unhealthy food, saying, “Let’s get a treat.”
I eat late at night
when I am alone.
I eat at fast food
restaurants multiple times a week because I am always on the road.
These thoughts are
temptations which I often give in to and I believe Satan has used them to sap
me of some of my ability to glorify God.
I am often tired and
lack energy.
I have stomach issues
and headaches almost daily.
I don’t have the strength
to run around and play with Kymee as I want to.
I’m going to take God
at His word and choose to receive His promise,
“Let him who thinks he
stands take heed that he does not fall. No temptation has overtaken you but
such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be
tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way
of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it.” I Cor. 12 - 13

| "...Christopher Robin finished the mouthful he was eating and said carelessly: "I saw a Heffalump to-day, Piglet." |
So my goals for this
week are this:
Eat what God has made
and not what man has made (eat clean)
Replace white food with
healthier options
NO fast food – be
prepared to eat healthy food in the car
Precook and prepare so
that I can provide delicious, simple, fast-cooking meals and snacks for my
family.
Enjoy the meals and
snacks God has given me to prepare.
