I'm on DAY FOUR; and today, I was tempted for the first time. I called Ben and he talked me away from falling into the temptation, haha! I want to do it right this time. I want to lose poundage and inches if it's possible. I'm averaging 1000 calories per day and drinking lots of the agua! We will weigh and measure again on Day 10 after the "Cleanse" portion of the challenge.
It is interesting that as I begin to purge myself of these bad nutritional toxins, other things begin to the surface as well. Hmm... I am not sure I want to disclose this as of yet, but I know at some point I will reveal it to the www as it is part of so many other peoples' stories... that for some reason we don't share... and because we don't share we walk around with these gaping, bloody emotional/spiritual wounds pretending everything's okay... I have a friend who has a blog entitled "All Glory Be To God" and I pray that one day I'll be able to share my testimony to help bring Him glory...
With that said, I would like to thank those of you out there who have been faithful in supporting my family, who have prayed, text, or called with kind words. "Pleasant words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones." -Proverbs 16.24
Thank you, my dear friends...
I am excited to hear and see what the Father has in store for our family. I know since we left the church it has been a difficult journey, but I can confidently say something's happening in the spirit and around us... and maybe, just maybe the purpose of this wait and the things happening around me right now are part of the "greater cleansing" that is needed before that complete restoration is possible. I rest in the hope of this song. My Father in Heaven does not see me as an Orphan, but as his daughter... despite the things I've done in the past... despite me pulling away from Him... He still pursues me! Wow! He pursues me... I just dream that I could sing like Avalon... what a powerful song! Hope you enjoy as well...
