I Will Rise
Jan 30, 2013
Well, Day 1 is about half over...if you're lost, read my previous post. I did GREAT for lunch. My loving husband was going to bring me something to eat, but he got caught up at work so I went to our local cafe to get something. I had baked chicken, rice, green beans, a whole wheat roll, and unsweetened tea (which I happen to actually like). I don't want to eat that exact thing every single day, but it honestly was soooo good. I had a brief thought of, oh, I could have ____. But then I reminded myself that a) I can do this and b) if I can't sacrifice a mouthful of momentary pleasure for God, what the hell am I doing? This is my body, my temple, that He made for me in His image. I am charged to take care of it, and while I've not done it many favors in the last 38 years, I can today. This moment. This choice. I'm doing "the next right thing for the right reason". I don't have to worry about tomorrow, only right now. It's all I can control.
love to all,
