It has been a busy busy week. I have lost 7 pounds since I started the blog. Not a great amount but about right for the amount of effort I have put into it. I haven't been doing what I should. I'm walking, and eating less, but I know my self discipline has room for improvement. Keep rooting for me.
On another note, I believe that the third step: Turned my will and my life over to the care of God is finally taking hold.
I am involved in a College age ministry and I can't tell you how much I learn from them. Love, patience, kindness, tact and....did I mention patience. I love them more then they will ever know, and being in their lives is quite and adventure. Watching them sort through issues, tapping in to drama from time to time, and learning how to make good decisions. I know I can't go back but I sure do wish I would have spent less time rebelling life and authority and more time building my relationship with God at a young age. I see so much potential in these young people, and want to do everything I can to help them avoid some of the mistakes I made and help them build their spiritual foundation. Is it tough sometimes.....by all means. Is it mentally draining at times....oh yeah, but they are so worth it.
I wish I could feel the same about myself. It is coming. I am getting more and more comfortable in my own skin, but still struggle at times with self esteem stuff. I know it is all tied in to this eating thing somehow and that is my journey. I will continue to work the 12 steps and pray to my higher power whom I choose to call Christ, and I just know He will reveal the answers to me at some point. I can't wait.
