Learning to be still

"The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still."Exodus 14:14. I found this verse a little while ago, but I came across it again today. This was Moses talking to the Israelites after he had taken them out of Egypt. God was about to part the red sea.

It's hard for me to just be still and let go. That's just my personality, I like to be in control of things. But to recover, I have to let this go and daily give it over to God. I have to be still, know He is God and let Him handle it. There's another verse in Psalms which says, "Be still and know I am God." I'm learning to be still, listen to Him and follow His will for my life, which doesn't include Twister. It doesn't include being consumed day and night with calories, exercise, weight, my body, and all the other worthless things I get consumed with. I know He has a greater plan in store for my life that include serving Him and making a difference in this world. If only it's just one person. I'm ready to get on with my life.

Today has been good. I've followed my plan, it has been a struggle but I have fought through it with God's strength. I've been trusting His unseen hand to lead me through!
Hope everyone is having a great start to the week. Tomorrow is clinic day.... there's a possibility I won't be coming home, but honestly I don't think it's going to happen. I'm pretty sure I've done enough this week not to loose any weight...actually I'm about 99% sure.
We'll see....
