Weight Watchers, Patience, Trust And Other Stuff!

So I just broke down and splurged on some caramel cake.  I wish I hadn't.  I did amazing yesterday and never consumed it last night for my hubs actual party. Big problem?  I came home from shopping feeling like I was starving!  I am consoling myself by saying that even Weight Watchers gives you bonus points and allows you to bank unused ones, right?  Ha!  Oh, well!  I'll do better tonight!  ;)  

I am on the weight loss path right now and have lost 5.2 pounds in just under two weeks to be exact! Whoo-Hoo!!!  Go, Me!!!  :D   But, I think I just gained it all back, though.  Boy, what harm a little chocolate cake with caramel can do to your waist line!   

On a positive note, I had a wonderful lunch today with a new friend.  We found out just how fast time can fly when two women get together and gab!  We opened our mouths with the first word and zzzziiiippp........it was two hours later!  Ha!  Once again, God used words from another Godly person to slow down my need to have answers and try to fix things.  Why am I such a fixer? EGAD!!!  I am obsessed with "having the proper answers" and that really isn't always necessary.  The Lord gently reminded me through her soft spoken words that we don't need "labels". We don't have to have an exact appropriate diagnosis for everything that goes wrong in life.  We just have to do the best we can with what we have and go forward one step at a time.  God is working, but He sure is taking His sweet time!  A few weeks ago at my ladies Bible Study I learned something very important.....:D "We live in a microwave world, but we serve a crockpot God".  Boy, what truth!  :)  I want it yesterday!! So, I guess maybe God is trying to teach me patience.  What an irony!   When Roy and I got married I was always the patient one, and he the impatient one.  My, how times have changed!  God DOES have a sense of humor!  :D 

If you are struggling, remember that God works in His own time. Maybe He's teaching you to be patient like He keeps trying to teach me.  Maybe He's trying to teach you to trust like He keeps trying to teach me.  (Wow! I think I have issues!  Ha!)  Don't give up.  God loves you!  He just wants you to trust in Him and give your problems to Him.  That doesn't mean that we shouldn't be proactive.....we definitely need to be.  But, do the best you can and remember to keep your eyes on Jesus.  

Isaiah 40:31 - But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew [their] strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; [and] they shall walk, and not faint.

Psalms 27:14 - Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.

Love,

Me
