Trusting God With Everything


                           


     

"For with God, nothing shall be impossible." Luke 1:37

       Goodmorning!!  I hope everyone had a great week lastweek. Mine was busy and hectic but I survived.  My Intermittent Fasting was great!! I stayed away from sweet tea and junk food.  And guess what folks.....I lost 5 pounds!!! I knew it was possible with God!!!  Of course, I was hoping for at least a 2 pound loss so when I stepped on the scales yesterday morning, I was over the moon with excitement!!! Yes I'm bragging, but I give God the glory because I couldn't have done it without Him. I'm so thankful!!! 

     God can do anything!!!! Anything is possible with God. We just need to trust Him completely and ask His will to be done.  Sometimes we think we trust God in everything, but we don't. I'm guilty of that too. I trust Him completely in my weight loss efforts, but catch myself not trusting Him completely in other life aspects.  But I'm working at that!!! Life IS tough, people!!! Satan just won't leave us alone. He is constantly lurking everywhere,  trying to keep us, as God's children, from worshipping and serving God. God is in control!! It may not seem that way to some, but He is! 

     Before I close, I'd like to explain something about IF'ing. It has awesome health benefits, which I've probably already mentioned. But sometimes our weight loss can be slow. Sometimes you'll lose inches more than weight. Sometimes you'll lose several pounds like I did last week and sometimes you won't. You just have to trust the process. Information on IF will say you can eat anything you want in your "eating window" but folks, if you're trying to lose alot of weight, eating junk food and other sugary food and drinks, just won't get it!! That's what I was doing. I was also feeling yucky. Now I'm feeling better and my clothes are starting to fit better.  This is my lifestyle forever!!! When I reach my goal, I'll figure out a maintenance plan with IF. I'm not dieting folks, I'm just eating healthy!!!  Intermittent Fasting is a lifestyle, not a diet. although, some people use diet plans with it, such as Low carb/high protein.  I eat normally and healthy from 12 noon-7.pm,  but just cutting out bad stuff.  I ate some peach lazyboy pie twice lastweek, but only one tablespoon, and the majority of that was a peach slice. I didn't even have to feel guilty. Well, I need to get busy so I'd better close for now. If you have any questions, just ask!!!

Have a blessed day,

Vickie
