Hey friends!
What is going on? I wasn't feeling well on Wednesday and Thursday. Fighting a little stomach thing and so I didn't "shred". You know when you make a commitment like this, you know that things will inevitably come up to challenge the vow that you made.
And wow.. Have I been challenged.
How did I go from the girl that was so committed that she did the "shred" at 11:30 at night because she had to get it in for the day, to... the girl who wasn't feeling well and said.. Nah.. I don't wanna so I'm not gonna?
I have to be honest with you about this and so I am sharing my failings and my victories all along the way. Any major change we want to make in our lives requires perseverance.
It says in James 1: 2-4, Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
I believe God is doing something so much deeper in me than losing some weight. And so instead of beating myself up like I usually do, I'm strengthening my resolve and pressing on. So I had a few bad days?.. Get over it and keep going.
In it for the whole enchilada!
Tracey

maybe it was not a stomach thing as much as a "pasta" thing. You shocked your system.
Keep up the good work.
Tracey, what was the application for the IPOD barcode scanners, you talked about it this morning.
thanks
Cindy
I know what you mean Tracy, but thanks to you and your perseverance I am now on day 8 of the Shred. I feel so good. Thanks for sharing and your honesty. I will pray for you to persevere and if you could for me. " I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me"
God Bless
