Good morning world. The past couple of days have been soul searching days for me. I have listed the roles I play and then got challenged to forget those roles and list who I really am.
My dear friend texted me after reading yesterday's blog to tell me I forgot one on that list.... I am beautiful. My response was I was not feeling that way and had not even thought about that attribute.
There are some days I feel pretty, others cute, and even a few beautiful. I am talking outside looks. Inside??? When I consider the first on my list of roles I am in life, then I would have to say yes, even inside because I am a child of God.
I am His daughter. I have been adopted, grafted into His family due to the shed blood of Jesus. He is mine and I am His. Because of this alone, I should be rejoicing daily! However, because I am human, I let emotions and circumstances get in the way.
In my resolve to do better with this, I will get back to more than just daily devotions (which honestly have not been happening daily either). The boys are in Ephesians in school. What a better book in the Bible to start reading on a daily basis.
Prayer life has waned too. This is hard to admit. Why? Because I want to be thought of as a good Christian who reads her Bible and prays on a daily basis. Just because I have not been, does that make me a bad Christian? No.
So not only daily prayer, but I am going to start a prayer journal again. Yes, again.
Before I sign off, here is the eating plan update. Yesterday I did really good. Drank almost the right amount of water. AND stuck to what I am suppose to be eating. Had a hugh salad last night. No junk. No extra snacks. Woke up feeling pretty good. Even dropped a couple of pounds over the weekend. A good start if you ask me.
Be blessed and be a blessing,
Just some of my thoughts and actions,
Elizabeth
