I am two days away from the beginning of a major challenge, a challenge I had hoped never to face again, yet here I am. This time I have a buddy...and a coach...and a very specific plan. And this time I am scared!
I have lost weight...and gained weight...and lost weight...and gained weight....you get the idea. I know how it feels to succeed; and at the very same moment be afraid that I haven't really succeeded. I won't say losing weight it easy...because it isn't...but I will say that changing your life is harder. And THAT is my challenge...to change my lifestyle in a way that will make a difference for the rest of my life.
So here I am talking about losing weight yet again. My apologies to all who have endured this conversation repeatedly throughout the many years of my life. I will not make arrogant declarations of victory before I even begin. I will say that I am falling at the feet of the only ONE who can make this kind of change in me. I will daily come to Him for the strength and courage I will need to stick with this challenge. I will daily ask for His power to work in my body and enable me to do the physical work that will be needed to complete this challenge. I will daily thank Him that, in spite of me, He has kept me healthy and will continue to do so as I finally cooperate with Him. I will daily keep my mind and heart on Him while following the plan that has been laid out for me; because I know that true freedom is in HIM and not in the plan. And I will journal in this nice little cyber blog so that I will remain mindful of this journey and be able to look back and see the progress I have made, both physical and spiritual.
So another journey begins. My hope is that this part of my journey will become a whole new path that I will continue to walk and not just a detour. I am tired of detours that just take me back to the same road I was on before...I want to completely change direction!
