Read the rest of One Thousand Gifts - Part 56

(Ok, so I’m a day late, but I’m going to pretend I got this post in on time.)
I am happy at (0/0)! (And technically, since I’m really writing this on Wednesday, the 18th, I’m down another pound.) Woo hoo!!
This past week was a frustrating one, as my weight climbed up three, but came [...]

Read the rest of May Day Challenge - Weigh In

After reading a thread on MOG, I decided to start the Lord’s Table study again. For those of you who may not know, it’s a free study you can do online. It’s similar in style to Thin Within, but it does not focus much on eating habits or “practical tips” for weight loss. [...]

Read the rest of Come and Eat at The Lord’s Table

Well, here I sit, head to toe in pit mud. I am at a loss for words. I have spent the evening going from place to place in the blogosphere. Got caught up on my blog reading. Got caught up on my MOG forum stuff. Updated my 2007 Book List. [...]

Read the rest of Head First Back Into the Pit

Have you never heard or understood? Don’t you know that the Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of all the earth? He never grows faint or weary. No one can measure the depths of his understanding. He gives power to those who are tired and worn out; he offers strength [...]

Sometimes I can just sense it coming. I get little whispers that tell me that I am being complacent. That I’m starting to slip.
I have recently decided that I would try a different eating plan that goes with the online Bible study (The Lord’s Table) that I am doing. You see, they [...]

“If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed!” (John 8:36)
This is the verse that came to mind this morning as I prayed in bed for God’s strength to get out of bed. It’s the only thing that gave me hope.
“Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and He saved [...]

Read the rest of Freedom and a new start

Ok, how do you recover from complete and willful sin? That was my day and now I am sitting here not sure what to do. I am so frustrated with myself. I don’t know how many more times I can do this before my heart just crusts over and I’m stuck in [...]

Read the rest of I’ve screwed up…

The TLT study for today was on brokenness. That’s a really good word to describe how I’ve been feeling as of late. Crushed, demolished, obliterated.
But I think there are two ways this can go. God allows us to be broken, in order that he can soften and plant and grow us. [...]

Read the rest of Brokenness

Just finished my TLT study for Day 11. It was about repentance. I think it’s finally sinking in just how much a sin overeating is. Whenever I am tempted to eat in response to an emotional craving, it is irresponsible and, yes, sinful, of me to use food to stifle what my [...]
