Today's verse spoke to me in ways that I can't even explain. It says, "Those controlled by the sinful nature cannot please God." Romans 8:8. Even as Christians we can have those times when our old sinful ways seem enticing. We have thoughts of wanting to turn back and can even go as far as fulfilling those desires. When this happens, and we start thinking this way, or we give into our sinful desires, we have to stop and ask ourselves: Do we want to please our enemy or our Savior? We can't please both. 1 Corinthians 10:21 says,"You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too;". We have to decide which is more important to us. The way this one spoke to me was that the last few days I've had MAJOR FAT days. I've just felt so huge! I've definitely had thoughts of wanting to go back to my Ed ways. But surprisingly I didn't give into them. I've chosen to try my best to please my Savior. Believe me, it wasn't always what I wanted to do. I've still been eating, but I've really been struggling. I really don't know why, but it's been very very difficult!
Tomorrow is clinic. I don't know how it will go. Good I guess? Mama and Daddy think I lost weight after being at the beach, but I'm not so sure about that. We'll just see how it goes.I certainly don't feel like I've lost weight :/
Today I've been preparing my message for Thursday. I'm speaking at Thirty.One (the all girls Bible study). I would have never thought I would be doing this. I'm amazed at what all God is doing with me, I don't even know what all He can do once I'm totally recovered.
