But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. Isaiah 40:31
Another encouraging Word for the journey. As this is the slowest I have ever began losing weight with my not being able to be mobile, I know that I must do what I am supposed to do now and wait on the LORD for the timing of the rest. I hold onto this scripture from Isaiah believing that when I grow weak that as long as I continue to wait on the LORD that my strength will indeed be renewed that I will not faint from this journey.
I encourage all reading to do your part while you wait. For me keeping a food journal as I count calories helps. On the days that I have sweets or treats in keeping before me the caloric counts I am able to keep proper perspective and not overdo it. This is a tremendous help to me and very different from any other time that I took this journey. In my past I never wanted to keep a food journal because I never wanted to face the reality of what I was taking in. Now I know the importance of acknowledging everything that I eat. This falls again into the category of accountability. You may never see my food journal but I see it and need it as a part of my journey.
In order for me to succeed at this task before me of losing 100lbs I know that along with trusting, seeking, and waiting on the LORD I have to do my part. It takes a made up mind and determination on my part that no matter what today brings that I will get up and give it a hundred percent again tomorrow. Day by day, hour by hour, minute by minute we must trust and wait upon the LORD.
God's Blessings.
