I am so grateful to have made it through another year. Like I have
heard many others say, this year has been one of the more challenging years for
me and my family, however, we are ending the year in victory. I stepped
out and took a leap of faith and was able to make quite a bit of progress in my
journey to Praise Away Pounds.
I have taken a bit of a hiatus from blogging just because this journey was meant to inspire and be transparent. I had every intention of sharing my ups and downs, with the end result being that I would have made a lot more progress than I have in my weight loss. Over these last few months I have been like a yoyo losing and gaining the same few pounds.
I will admit that I became really discouraged and wanted to just give up, but I am so grateful for all of the support that I continued to receive even while I was not making any progress. I've realized that in the last few weeks, that the harder that I was on myself, the more detrimental I became to myself. It's amazing to me, how it is sometimes so much easier to forgive others, then it is to even forgive yourself. God showed me that in order for me to move along in this journey that I had to forgive myself, for trusting too much in me and not God. The point of this movement is to trust God to Praise Away these Pounds in any way that he sees fit for me to do it.
This roller coaster has caused me to actually draw closer to God. I realized that while I, as well as many others, believe God for various aspects of our lives, being more fit is just one more thing that is not too hard for God to do for any of us that trust him. While I wanted desperately to be an overnight success, God is showing me that this will be a journey that will take some time, however, as long as I continue to go in the right direction, he will guide and direct me along the way.
God is so awesome that even when we sometimes give up on ourselves, God does not give up on us. I am back on this journey and am still determined to never give up, until I reach my goal. When God is in it, there is no limit.
Be Blessed and let's Praise Away Pounds in this New Year!
