It's Monday! I'm running behind, but never too far behind to take time to spend with God. Although this new adventure of going girly is fun, my priority will always be to spend time with Jesus and to continue to grow in my relationship with Him! Period.
Recently, the Holy Spirit has been prompting me to simply be still and know that He is God and He has my best interests at heart. Let me tell ya girlfriends, last week didn't feel anything like that neither did yesterday which was Sunday. However, in the midst of all of life's situations He bids this Jesus girl to spend time at His feet to become a more Godly girl!
Let me tell you that still small voice is powerful. Recently, the spirit led me to read a book that a friend recommended. I thought oh that looks like a good book but I'm busy going girly, working hard, being a wife, and the list went on. THEN the spirit spoke. "Go down to the library and have them order the book for you." I headed down to my local library and did just that. The name of the book is "Leading with Passion and Grace" by Joyce Strong. Well, let's just say I'm far into the book at this point and have walked away feeling convicted and encouraged! If you are in ministry of any kind this is a great book to read. It gives you a heart check from the Holy Spirit! You've been warned!
Now, onto this whole going girly thing! I just finished hopping on the scale. I lost another .5 lbs! Squeal that means I've lost 4.5 lbs! Bless the Lord oh my soul and all that is within me bless His holy name! Psalm 103:1. It's exciting to be loosing weight! Glory be to Jesus and Him alone, because I can't do this without Him, trust me!
Yesterday was my first day giving up potato chips...Yes, I'm giving them up completely. My substitute?!! Crunch Veggies! There'll be no dipping those veggies either in fattening ranch dressing...It's not easy but it's going to be worth it!
Well that's all...this Jesus girl has got to hit the shower. I"m due at my best friends house to try on my new outfit. God bless that girl, she's hemming my pants for Sunday! I love her, she's an amazing Best Friend!
God bless you,
