Since the fall of man, Satan has sought to destroy God's children. He uses many different things to tempt us. Food is a sneaky vice, for we need food to live. Is it any wonder that lust for a food was the temptation that brought about man's fall? Since that enticing food in the garden, man has mad his belly a god and food has become a common addiction. Now we must fight for the freedom from this addiction to food!

Last night, while studying God's Word, I was led to verses regarding sin, and it's dominion over us. It's so easy to give in to sin, as we are a sinful people. Genesis 4:7b had a profound effect on me, and I could not let go of it. It seeped right into my core almost instantly after I read it. It says, "But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must master it ." (Emphasis mine) Right after reading that, I read of Cain killing his...

Last week, right after my last post, I was attacked with an unexplainable rash. The itch was unmerciful, and it wiped me out. I was so uncomfortable and miserable and could not function properly. I spent a week feeling awful, avoiding certain activities and generally feeling low as can be. Wearing clothes made the itch worse, so I'd get dressed when I HAD to go out, then I'd go back home & put my pajamas back on. The looseness of the pajamas made me feel more comfortable physically, but it... Read Full Story
I woke up today feeling stronger than I have in a very long time. I woke up several times last night, but every single time I woke up, I laid back down & began to meditate on the Lord. I would close my eyes and as thoughts would enter, I would push them out & bring to the forefront images and thoughts of Christ. I want my focus to be on Him, and meditating on His Word, and envisioning Him helps retrain the mind. I want my thoughts to be filled with Him. I want my attitude to be like His... Read Full Story
Ephesians 6:1 says, "Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right." The Lord Himself commanded this and He said, "for this is right"! Do we really want to do what is right? Sometimes I wonder. Why is it that it's so much easier to do the wrong thing than to do the right thing? Paul had that very same struggle and he walked with Jesus during His time here on earth. Paul says in Romans 7:14-8:4 " For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am carnal, sold under sin. For what I... Read Full Story
I usually post in the morning, but today I just didn't have the chance to post when I first got up. I find that if I do miss a day of posting, it's hard to recollect my thoughts, so I just need to continue where I'm at. I've never been very good about daily logging ANYTHING but I do find that if I simply accept that & continue on, everything falls into place. If I put too much pressure on myself regarding posting, I will eventually neglect posting at all. I'm backtracking a bit here, but... Read Full Story
When I went about this quest for freedom, I met with some negative responses. “Why can’t you just try a different diet?”, “There are plenty of diets out there that change your way of eating and help you lose weight!”, “ What’s with all this demon talk? Maybe you just haven’t found the right diet yet!” There were more, but you get the idea. Different people like or need different things, and this quest I am on is no different. Sure, there are some excellent diets out there, and a lot of them... Read Full Story
Well, Friday I attended an absolutely wonderful cookie baking party with some people from my co-op group. I was really looking forward to going, and I promised myself I wouldn't sit there & eat mass amounts of cookies. The thing about promises, however, is that it seems they are meant to be broken. I packed myself some water & fruit. I knew that the hostess was offering vegetable soup for lunch. I was set. Unfortunately, once I looked at & smelled that vast array of cookies, I was acting...

Well, it has been an eventful 10 days. The busyness of the holiday season completely consumed me. I attended & hosted parties & dinners, shopped, worked & just filled my time with so much activity it's hard to remember all I did! What I do remember, however, is that it was good. All of it was good! What a wonderful time of year it turned out to be. I was fearful of my gluttony...fearful of getting dressed...fearful of how I would feel & how I would look. Each day I wrestled with my flesh... Read Full Story
I'm not sure I'll post every day, but on the days I can, I will. I just figured it would be good to at least log in my first day in the battle zone. Well I made it through day 1 unscathed. I had a couple of small attacks, but I got through them. It's amazing the power of faith when you really exercise it. I had decided that the only way to conquer this beast of gluttony that continually tries to devour my being was to enlist the help of my Commanding Officer, Jesus Christ. It is obvious that...
