Day 1 - In the Beginning

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 

A billion years later he created me.  He knew I'd screw up.  He knew I'd end up here.  He knew I wouldn't listen to Him. 

Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,
before you were born I set you apart;
I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.
Jeremiah 1:5

So, today is Day #1 of the 17 Day Diet for me.  It's no coincidence that tomorrow is Ash Wednesday and the beginning of Lent.  As a Christian I fast during Lent.  I pick something or things or give them up over the next 40 days.  So, for this year, as part of my fast I am starting the 17 Day Diet.  The diet involves me doing new things and giving up the things I LUV - pizza, ice cream, bread, cheese, pasta, chocolate, etc.  - and gaining time with God and getting my life back.

 

God's grace will get me through.  I'll be blogging here and at my regular site.  Come visit me and follow me to learn more about me and my life at http://steeler-gal-thoughts.blogspot.com/

Welcome to the community.  There are several of us gathered in fellowship at the forum:  Spirituality and Weight Release under the Dr. Phil forum on the message board.  Hi Neisa49.  Been praying for you.  Glad to hear from you.

Nice to see another Christian on the site.  It's also good to know we can post Scriptures.  I have several Bible Studies and Articles with Scriptures but was unsure if we could use them here.  This just opens up a whole lot more blog posting for me.  :)  God bless.
