Do you feel totally defeated by the holidays? I hope not!
But if you do, consider this…the Thin Within book says, a single defeat never has to be a final defeat! We learn a million things that don’t work in our journey to discover what does! So maybe you learned this holiday a bunch of things that don’t work if you are going to walk in victory over obsession with food, dieting, exercise and so forth. Celebrate all you learned! 🙂
If we feel bloated, fat, overweight, stuck, and most of all…SHAME…we have a choice right now. What will you do with this moment? This choice?
Will you make a flesh-filled choice, based on your emotions? That generally leads to more shame, more bloated feelings and more feelings of defeat. (Unfortunately, this is an all-too-familiar place where we spend lots of time…)
OR…
Will you take this moment captive for the Lord, for yourself and the goals you have…and choose to make a FAITH-filled choice? Will you observe and correct right now, in this moment and just choose now to step forward?
“Forgetting what is behind, we press on…”
THIS moment matters!
The blogging you’re doing lately really blesses me, Heidi. I am mired in muck here—really having trouble getting the cobwebs cleared out and trying to walk the walk. But I love reading how God is working with you.
