But I will sing of your strength, in the morning I will sing of your love; for you are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble. ~Psalm 59:16
My soul is truly singing this morning. Not because I peeked at the scale or I have a luscious breakfast in front of me but because I am loved and I am forgiven. Because my God is stronger than anything I have to conquer.
I am at such peace with my soul. I cannot put into words (although if you know me, you know I am going to try...teehee) what a weight is already off my shoulders. Why I never truly gave this all to Him to start off with is beyond me. But I feel free... I feel rejuvenated... I want to sing... I want to dance with my Heavenly Father...
I know I have challenges before me but I have almost an invincible feeling about getting them accomplished today. My soul knows that this battle is won already. I need to remain steadfast, unwavering...day by day, moment by moment. I am finding myself searching God's word and His presence more frequently and being secured by the words I read.
So I am off, singing and dancing in my soul...
I am so happy for you!!! I am especially happy for the relationship you have with God and how this is bringing you closer to Him. I have not given my weight issue to God because I feel like this little problem is mine alone. But you have changed how I see it. God loves me and loves all the little (and big!) problems I encounter EVERY SINGLE DAY. Nothing is too insignificant to Him. And I see that now. Thank you for sharing this journey. I love you and will be there with you every single step of the way.
ReplyDeleteBJ I am truly enjoying reading all of your uplifting blogs. I too started trying to loose weight last week but nothing compaired to the journey you are on but am inspired. May the lord give you strength not only at your weakest moments but give you joy in them as well. I love you and Jesus loves you most!
