What kind of temple do I have? I am currently in the bed, not feeling well. I have been fighting some allergy funk since Thursday. However, somewhere this morning I had a revelation.
My revelation is that I live my life to try and be pleasing in the eyes of the Lord. I am a great mother, good co-worker, and try to be a wonderful friend. Although I am sure I fail in these areas at time, I really do try. Yet, when it comes to my weight, I'm not certain why I continue to sabotage myself. Let's be real...no one enjoys the feeling they have when they over eat, or when they eat something that is so unhealthy it sticks in your stomache like a piece of lead. No one likes feeling like they failed in their choices for good food - yet, we all do it. We all have a moment when we eat too much, or eat something not healthy for us...etc.
If I did everything like I was doing it unto the Lord, would I have such a hard time staying on track? If I'm such a great mother, would I continue to make choices for my life that negatively affect my health - therefore they could potential have a negative effect on my son?
This might sound strange, but I think I am going to start everyday with a new prayer in my heart. I am going to pray that I will have my heart sensitive to those earlier thoughts when I go to make a bad decision. To be fully aware of the decision of unhealthy eating and how that really affects my life - and to also open my eyes as to why I have been remiss in taking care of myself physically.
Yes, it is hard. Yes, it requires a lot of work. I don't really feel like I settle for mediocre in other areas of my life though, so why am I settling in this one?
