OODLES of Grace to Move Forward, Despite Reprecussions of the Past

I had to go to the doctor and, in short, found out that I was extremely anemic and on the verge of type 2 diabetes.

In the past I made extremely poor choices of what I put in my body, and I also dealt with issues of overeating.
And as a result of this, I have been a bit overweight for a long time now. This has been a huge obstacle for me in my life in many ways, and the Lord has honestly taught me a lot about who I truly am in Him despite my decisions. Even though things had not been as bad for at least 4-5 years now, like all of us, I definitely could've been eating better and exercising more…The funny thing is that I had been trying to change things in the past month or two anyways, so it it true how the Lord does prepare us ahead of time. But I honestly think I didn't really believe that I could do what I needed to do, it seemed to big.

So, when I found all of this out last week, needless to say, it was a bit of a crazy day.

But right away I knew, that I, of course, could not wait any longer to make changes.
It was time to move forward and prepare myself for all that the Lord has for me in the life He has given me!

He is so faithful to me, and He always has been. So now, it's time for me to to be more faithful to Him with the body He has given me to do His work! After all, I am a temple of the Holy Spirit, as we all are.

Ohhhh, how good is my Father in heaven. He is so gentle, yet convicting.
This is yet another way of Him letting me know how much He loves me and that wants me to be strong to be used by Him.

So, here I am, a week later, living a new and completely different lifestyle!
No sugar whatsoever, no junk, less carbs, and intentional exercise every day 🙂

A new journey of my life has begun, and I intend to be ready for it.
It's not always going to be easy at times, but my Lord is giving me oodles of grace to move forward through these reprecussions of my fleshy decisions. The old me, from years ago, has nothing to do with who He has made me into over the past 5 years and is making me.

Thank you Jesus for filling me with strength to do all things you place before me, an open heart to receive all that you have in store for me, and joy to persevere throught he difficult times.
