This is a bit scary for me but I feel as if I need to do this. I have struggled my entire life with food and working out. I grew up not even thinking about eating healthy or exercising...it wasn't part of my life in any way. In the last three to four years I have realized the severity of my addiction to food. It is a daily struggle for me and the only way to overcome it each day is by relying on the Holy Spirit to give me strength.
A couple of weeks ago I was considering to begin a blog and the thought crossed my mind to start a daily health journal. One where I am completely honest with how I have done each day and with the scripture that I have used to give me strength. I decided against it, realizing there would be days that I would be embarrassed with how bad I actually did, and began a regular blog on my life.
This weekend I went to a retreat, and late at night my friend started asking me about journals. She began to tell me that she thought the Lord was urging her to begin a health journal and challenged me to do the same. I hadn't even told her or anybody else about the thoughts I had previously. Her thoughts on what to do with the journal were the exact same as mine...and I thought, this must be confirmation to just go and do it.
Here it is...if you struggle as well, I pray that this offers encouragement, comfort and hope for you. If you don't, then your prayers would be much appreciated as we go through this journey of physical and spiritual health!
