February 16, 2002 - Healthy Living

Hey, guys - Sorry for the late post today. We headed into Columbus to visit my BIL and his wife and see their new condo, and we just now got home. Emma lasted 6 hours in her crate with no accidents. Woooo-hoooo! ;)

I've lost 4 pounds since Monday, so 23 total so far. I'm so psyched. There's a lot of stresses in my heart right now and it feels so good to at least have control over this one area of my life.

Today's Devotional:

Isaiah 30:21 -- http://bible.whitinger.net/showverse.php3?vid=18239

Diet plans come and go. Weight comes off, weight goes back on. One thing will not change, and that is the lovingkindness of the Lord. When the frustration sets in, the Lord is there. When we lose our patience, He will offer us His comfort. The Lord is our closest ally and our strongest supporter. We may decide that a particular diet plan isn't for us, or that we need to try something new, but we can never afford to turn away from God. God will help us with whatever plan we choose to follow.

Today's Thought: Any attempt I make to lose weight is incomplete without God.

I love how the author emphasizes that we can use various diet plans. That's how we feel too; if it's healthy and it works, great. :)
