Almost done! Woke at 4 am with a headache. Ran at 6. Drank coffee, went grocery shopping where I was TAUNTED by all the sugar products. This is pretty funny because normally I take no notice in them. Today they sang their siren song. What the heck is up with that?
Wish I could say I meditated on scripture. I didn't. I thought about it... I am going to try and memorize Joel 2: 12, 13
"Even now, declares the Lord, "return to me with all your heart with fasting and weeping and mourning."...For He is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love..."
I think this could be a good verse for me.
I am ready for bed. 29 days to go.
It cracks me up that the sugar was taunting you! I've gone grocery shopping with you - I know you normally don't even notice sugary treats. But it makes sense spiritually, y'know. The whole "law vs grace" tension.
ReplyDeleteI think it's good that God is leading you down this path. You're extremely self-disciplined and very strong. Perhaps He is hoping you'll allow Him to be strong for you right now? Maybe He's standing right next to you and desperately hoping you'll turn to Him in your temptation and allow Him to fight on your behalf? Just wondering...cause you are super strong and you are really good at doing the right thing in your own strength. Would be pretty ironic if God used sugar (something you REALLY don't struggle with normally) to bring you to your knees so He can snuggle you into His lap and love on you the way you love on your boys. Not that I know anything...just wondering...
