Feast On His Word

I really believe there are not thin people only thin eaters. Those who never take a bite past full no matter if that bite is there favorite food. My sister is a thin eater. She is truly repulsed by food the minute her tummy is full. Food doesn't call her unless she is hungry and when she is look out there is no time to wait. She has spent her adult life around 100 pounds in her thin eater's body.

I love the concept from Weigh Down that said you can't give up one thing without replacing it with something else. The idea of feasting on the Word instead of food makes sense to me. Another great concept is from Thin Within that says don't use the term lose weight, to lose something usually implies we hope to find it again. Instead, talk about releasing weight with the idea of letting it go forever. Both of these are Biblical based weight loss programs. 

Ron and I are beginning leader training this week for Celebrate Recovery a program for habits, hurts, and hangups. It is a Christian based program that Rick Warren founded 20 years ago. God is leading Ron and I both toward working with young adults in pain since we lost our son. I pray this will help me help others while showing me ways to overcome my own baggage.

In Him,

Joyful
