I'm serious about not just losing weight, but getting into great shape! So, I'm putting up the scary truth for the whole world to see. But seeing as no one has my blog info...it may just be me talking to myself!

I found the little ticker thing, so that's up. I've been working out 3-5 times a week. A lot of stresses have been coming lately and that triggers bad eating for me. In my opinion, that's no different than drug use, alcohol abuse, etc. It just seems to be accepted more. Until you see someone extremely overweight and then people get judgmental. It's all an addiction.

Addiction - something the enemy uses to trap us in shackles. To tie us down in bondage. I break that bondage!

My brother has been dealing with substance abuse for most of his life, really! He got arrested last night for DUI. I'm hoping we can get him in a GOOD Christian program instead of him serving jail time. I used to think that it was a matter of just 'sucking it up' and quitting, instead of understanding it was/is a bigger issue. Addiction is demonic. People don't like hearing that or thinking that. It doesn't take away their responsibility, but it gives some hope of knowing why they are under 'compulsion' and that with prayer and fasting, they can be free.

Of course, its not always that easy. Neither is losing weight, but there is hope. He is GOD and He is all-powerful. Through His blood, we can expel demons. Awesome knowledge!

First

I've been feeling the desire to start a blog, but didn't think I had enough to say on a semi-daily basis. Then I realized how much I write on other sites and just maybe I have something I could be saying here. So, there ya go!

It may not always be spiritual, it may not always make sense to YOU, but it will to someone and that is the point of everything I do. That God may be glorified and His will established in the earth thru me in some way.

I like to laugh and joke around. I love to see people get the understanding of His love for them! I like long walks on the beach or down a dirt road, seeing the winter moon behind a naked oak tree or a fall moon over the pines.

Sounds like a personal ad. :)

I say freedom a lot. I believe that Christ came to set us free. Free from the bondages we have placed on us, our family placed on us, society and those the enemy has placed on us. He (JESUS) came to set us free and who the Son set free is free indeed! I like to shout it like William Wallace in Braveheart: FREEEEEEEEDOM!!!!!

Another word I like is resister. It is French for Resist. This word was found carved into a dungeon in France that had been occupied by French Huguenots (my ancestors) before they were martyred. I like to remember that we are to resist the devil and he will flee; resist the world and its corrupt thoughts and behaivors, resist our own nature to go against God. RESISTER!

To live for God is NOT to live without. It is to live WITH the best of everything! If He is God of the universe...then what makes you think He wants you to go without the goodness of life. You just have to give up the stuff that hurts you to get the stuff that's good for you. Now, how hard is that? ok...it's not easy, but it is SO worth it!

Well, welcome to my little corner of the world and for those that don't know...My favorite word is FREEDOM!
