(My writing today comes from thoughts I had during our vicar's sermon at church this morning.)
....you have to do it yourself.
I have this thought at least once a week as I clean out and reorganize my cupboards after my children have put the dishes away. (I also mentally apologize to my mom.) My children are in a hurry, or they are too young to understand the sorting and stacking required to fit all the containers in the cupboard. As I stoop to find a container, I think, "Why do I even bother?!"
I have been struggling with my eating and exercise the past few months. As I work with my accountability groups, I set goals each week, only to find myself falling rather short of those goals. I am trying to do the right thing, but I am failing more often than not. I am feeling discouraged.
Sometimes I feel that my health ideals are not worthy of something to talk to God about. But taking care of my body is caring for the gift God has given me. And God does not expect me to do this, or anything else, on my own. He is here.
So whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. 1 Corinthians 10:31
I can do all this through him who gives me strength. Philippians 4:13
