I don’t know if this blog gets any visits, but I know this…a picture speaks volumes. So I will spare typing up volumes today and just share photos. The photo below was taken last summer before I was willing to offer my eating to the Lord. I obviously, am the one on the left. Tried to hide behind a horse, but it didn’t work.
The photo below was taken by hubby this morning. The scale this morning indicated that I may have released 44 pounds since November. That would be wonderful, but I know these things vascillate a lot. I just know that God is doing an amazing work. It truly is a new thing.
I found these shorts some time ago when I was cleaning out my closet. I figured I would keep them to remind me of where pride and arrogance can take me. I was busting out of these shorts literally (I used duct tape to hold them together!!!), before God got a hold of my heart. I was worried about dying of a heart attack. I work hard here to take care of horses and kids…my life doesn’t allow for being sedentary. Problem was, my body wasn’t able to healthfully support the lifestyle.I had even stopped riding my horses because I was concerned about their comfort.
Add to that the huge barrier I had in my life between the Lord and me…there was little peace and little joy.
Well, I said I wouldn’t write copious quantities of verbage today…so I will shut up now.
I am so humbled at what God is doing.
Thank you, Lord.

Hi Heidi, it’s connie from TW. Your blog looks very interesting. I’ll be back to read more tomorrow, just skimmed over tonight. Love Beth Moore as you know. Your horses are beautiful. I have 2 goats, 3 dogs, 3 cats, 4 chickens. LOL Anyway, thanks for sharing. Looking forward to getting to know you. Connie
Hi Heidi. I have been a member of Thin Within yahoo groups for months now…and just decided this last week to start reading it. I loved reading your blog and will check back frequently. I don’t know a soul doing TW, so I need the encouragement online. The only problem is, I am so busy, I don’t have time to check the messages every day. Do you have any suggestions for me? I am having a hard time reading the messages…they are so sporatic…I know the Lord has lovingly laid this upon my heart, but I am fearful of starting and not finishing. Thanks for your leadership! By the way, just like you, God just helped me get off my addiction to diet soda/coffee/caffeine this week. I didn’t think I could…I was drinking them non-stop, worshippping them. I have a big ache in my heart and He wants to fill it.Susan Grey
