Faith by God

“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith — and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God — not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. (Ephesians 2:8 – 10 NIV 1984” Excerpt From Unglued Lysa TerKeurst https://books.apple.com/us/book/unglued/id585305608 This material may be protected by copyright I read this today in my book called Unglued. The book is about being able to control our emotions. This scripture reminded me that if I lean on my faith and know that my God is there to support us in our lives. Emotions such as anger and frustration are emotions that often cloud our real feelings. Feelings of failure and self doubt. Failure and self doubt are deep in a place that I find easy to wallow in. The poor me syndrome. But, God knows everything before we even do it. He has a path for us all and is there to support us as we traverse his path. So, as I begin my journey down the path of weight loss, it is a multi-faceted journey. One of which I seek to push the stop button when negative thoughts enter and lean on my Faith to get through. I hope to realize that God gave us the vessel and it is our job to honor this in everything we do including eating and self care. My bipolar often makes it difficult for me to understand and follow through. But, through continuation of my medication and a supportive counselor, I got this! I sent this blog to my family and with overwhelming support, I know I can do this! I am so lucky to have what I have in them and in my God and shall continue to savor this blessing. Until next time, take care and God Bless!
