Well, I guess this is why they call fall a season of change :-) Everything is changing. God picked a good time to start all this. The weather is beautiful now and its getting cooler!
I'm praying for God to change my tastes so that I would crave that which honors Him... the old me, from last week and likely several years before, too, craved that which honored me, that which satisfied me. What I failed to remember is when I allow God to fill me, that which honors Him is so much more satisfying, and there are no regrets! A wise person once said, "Doing what’s right today means no regrets tomorrow..."... or EVER! There have been times where I do the wrong thing thinking it's the right thing, really believing its the right thing, and only later (HA! last week) realize just how NOT right it was. And then... then it hurts. A lot.
But that's the first step toward healing. A second step is to keep God in my head at all times... ODB today was about not "checking your brain at the door" and just relying on emotional experience with God... keeping God "in your head". Every day. It starts by just asking Him!!!
In other news, I AM LOSING FAT! Numbers were down today, just like the stock market! At 137.8 lbs, I HAVE LOST OVER 10 lbs in 2 months!!! That is phenomenal! The last 5 pounds have taken QUITE a long time... the first 5 came off rather quickly, but since I've significantly increased my strength training, the weight between, oh, about 143 or so and now has come off a lot slower. I'm really happy with how my body is changing. I see a lot a lot a lot more definition than I have EVER seen in my body before and it is so encouraging! "If you always do what you've always done, then you'll always get what you've always gotten!"
