Well I only lost a pound this week, but I cannot complain because last week I lost 6. This is the absolute worse time of the month to be weighing and I still lost a pound! God is good all the time and desires us to crave him not food, somedays are not as easy as others, but when the hard times come I have been running to God and not to food. Thank you Lord for showing me the way!!! Down 36 lbs as of today!
James 1:4
Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything

Busy Week
This weather has been great!! I am ready to get back into my photography alittle more now! Kinda been taking a break because I hate cold weather and even though I have a studio I still hate to even leave the house when it is cold. I know that is bad and I am thankful for each and every day God gives me, but I get chilled to the bone in the winter and want to hibernate. This week is kind of my come back week, lol, not that I have really been anywhere just taking some time off. I have sessions booked all week and a wedding this weekend, busy, busy, busy, but still I will make time for the Lord. Sometimes I tend to put my focus on the things that I am doing at the time, but God has to come first. I will let him lead me where ever he wants me to go, and that place does change from time to time, but enough about work, let's discuss the weight.
I am so happy to say God has taken off 35 lbs as of today!!! All I can say is Thank You Jesus!!! It's coming off!!!!! I am really looking forward to the summer now, I feel so much better and I am ready to get out of the house and get some excerise. I love just enjoying nature and I am so looking forward to that!

Psalm 23
A psalm of David.
1 The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
3 he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
for his name’s sake.

Weigh Day
Waiting to weigh on a certain day if hard. I have weighed a few times in between but I am trying to keep it to a minimum. It's not that I weigh to make sure it is working because I trust God and know that it is, it's that I am so excited about losing. Got on the scale this morning and I am happy to say God has taken off 29lbs!! I am overjoyed!! Some days I find myself wishing it would just hurry up and be gone but most days I just go with the flow knowing it takes time to get it off. I think 29lbs from Dec. 19 until now is pretty fast anyway.
I am feeling better by the day and it is Alot easier now than at 1st. God can and will answer our prayers in his timing not ours, we just have to be patient, and stand firm in faith!
and a season for every activity under the heavens: 2 a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
3 a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
4 a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,
6 a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
7 a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
8 a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.
9 What do workers gain from their toil? 10 I have seen the burden God has laid on the human race. 11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet[a] no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end. 12 I know that there is nothing better for people than to be happy and to do good while they live. 13 That each of them may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all their toil—this is the gift of God. 14 I know that everything God does will endure forever; nothing can be added to it and nothing taken from it. God does it so that people will fear him.

Evil Cake Monster
Well I have decided to change my official weigh day to Tuesday because Monday's are CRAZY, and I never seem to have time to weigh or blog.
I weighed this morning and God has removed 26 lbs so far. I love seeing those numbers going down. I am feeling alot better and can move and breathe easier too.
With each passing day it seems to get easier and easier, I am thinking alot less about food and thinking more about God and what he wants for my life. I need to be a reflection of him, both inside and out. He desires that my heart be set and focused on him and him alone. I love that he cares enough to work on me.
Both of my daughters are having birthdays this month, Madison's is this Saturday, and Sarah's was last Thursday. One of my biggest weakness is Birthday Cake, it is one of my favorite foods. The day I picked up the cake for Sarah I brought it home and had to smell it all day long. I swear the Devil was all over me that day, saying "You know you cannot resist this cake" "Just go ahead and eat it you can make up for it later" but I also heard God say "No, do not follow your own desires, do not give in to your will, stay focused on me and my will". Through much prayer I resisted!! I waited for the right time to eat it, which was between hunger and fullness, and I ate only a couple of bites. I know that it was by the Grace of God only that I could wait, and only eat a small amount, and resist and overcome the temptation to devour it all. Thank you Lord for giving me strength to overcome the "Evil Cake Monster"!! Don't get me wrong the cake was really great and I know it was allowed within the rules, but over indulgence is not ok, and God got me thru the temptation!!
1 Corinthians 10:13
No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.
