Day 21- Faith and works....

Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.  So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.  2 Corinthians 4:16-18th

This scripture speaks to me today as I put my mind and body to work on this journey to loose 100lbs.  This is not a walk that I can see my way through but indeed one that I will trust God through in faith.   The unseen....believing with every ounce of me that this is it because I am seeking God for every aspect of this journey.

While FAITH is a must, remember that FAITH and WORKS go hand in hand! I know that the Bible was not referring to weight loss but in this instance I use this to point out the realization that I have to work at this and not just fantasize expecting faith to do it all.  Whatever your journey, MAKE A PLAN AND GO FOR IT!

It also comes to my mind to encourage you to take steps to keep your goal in the forefront of your mind.  It is very easy to loose sight of a goal.  I encourage you to journal, blog, FB your journey as it will keep you focused daily and give you some accountability.  Even a journal puts whatever you are goaling for in front of you and keeps it there so that you can meditate on it, critic it, and decide where you can make changes at.  There is always room for improvement. 

I had a precious lady walk up to me the other Sunday at church and share a tip with me.  It meant the world that not only had she taken the time to read the blog but shared in my journey by telling me to check out an online site that helps you count your calories.  Share your journey as it is an opportunity to help yourself and others as we all have some type of journey that we are taking. 

Be blessed.
