Back again in 2010!
Can't believe the last time I updated was in May of last year, but a lot has happened since then! I have now been married 9 months! Hard to believe! Loving every minute of it.
It's 2010, new goals, new mission:
I want to glorify God in
my body, as my body is a temple of the Holy Spirit. I want to learn
self-control, a fruit of the Spirit. I want to break free from the sin
of gluttony and my bondage to food. I want to turn to God instead of to
food in emotional situations, whether good or bad. I want to be healthy
and live a long life enjoying the family that the Lord has blessed me
with and will continue to bless me with. I want to be healthy so that
when God blesses me with a child (one day!), the child will also be healthy. I want
more time to grow closer to God and to make a difference here on this
earth for God’s Kingdom. I want to be different: I want to crave healthy
foods and be healthy from the inside out. I want to respect my body as
God’s special creation. I want to bring God glory as I turn over my body
and my health to Him for the very first time in my life.
I am reading this every morning to keep motivated and to remember the many reasons I'm doing this!
There are some other, more superficial reasons, including that I want to look and feel better for my cruise in November, I want to be able to shop more places, etc. But really, for the first time in my life, my MAIN goal is not to "look" good for vain reasons, but to Glorify God.
And it feels good. Here we go!
