The biggest loser

One of my favorite shows is The Biggest Loser. Most people would probably think I was nuts if they were to watch me watch the show. I get so excited I can't stay sitting and I get so sad, tears come to my eyes. When I see the trainers push the contestants I get pumped and wanna say, "One more!!! You can do one more!" I feel like cheering for them right beside the coach! Over the last year, I have become so passionate about helping others in this area. I have been to the place where everything seems impossible...even sometimes, probably half the time, now somethings seem impossible...but it's not. I think one of the gifts God has given me is the gift of encouragement. I want to tell people that it's possible for them and I wanna ride that roller coaster to the end with them.
I still totally struggle on some days, I don't have it all together, but just like Apollos in Acts told only of what he knew (only of John's baptism), that's what I can do. I know what I've experienced, what helps me, and I can tell others and cheer for them on their way. I'm still on my way. My mom was telling me of a large woman that she knew that had almost always been overweight and she can't find clothes, etc. My heart broke and I wanted, with my whole heart, to fly to WV and go to her house and say, "Come on, we're gonna overcome it and win it this time!"
Let's come together and be each others cheerleaders. Let's love each other, pray, work out, be accountable and come alongside one another as encouragers...we can overcome, with the power of the Holy Spirit and the strength of our friends. We are more than conquerors...on so many levels. Romans 8 is fabulous.
