Starting to turn the corner. . .Day 7
Feb 05, 2017
Today for some reason I had a moment where I felt my old cravings and bad behaviors tried to rear their ugly heads! I was studying and I really thought that I had a grasp on the information until I took my practice quiz. Wow. Did I bomb it, or did I bomb it!!!??? I failed to the tune of 22/39....Yikes. I was thinking that I was going to be ready to take this test tomorrow and that this part was going to be over. No so much. Then came the intrusive thoughts... I wanted to pick up and eat so bad. Immeditely I started to readmy devotional, I said a quick prayer. Then I jumped up, laced up my sneakers and went for a run...That's right a run. Now I didn't run the entire time, but I crushed my previous run time by over 2 minutes. I swear I was running like I was running from the devil, and in hindsight, that is truly what I was doing. With this program you have got to give your cares over to God and let him handle it. As anxious as I was about that grade and about this approaching test I did not pick up! That was ALL God! Hands down! I am so grateful. I am turning a corner. I can feel that God is pleased with me and my obedience and I know there will be easier days to come if I continue to cast my cares upon Him because He cares for me! Be blessed everyone!
