I have a moment before we head out to the games today. I packed a healthy lunch of grilled chicken sandwiches, veggies and hummus, grapes, and drinks. We won't be able to take the food into the complex with us so we will have to go outside and eat. My son said they have typical stadium food at the place.I can't eat that kind of food so I am bring my own.
Got my blood work back. I was still with in all acceptable limits even though my triglycerides had gone up significantly. I expected as much since I had been eating cheaper cuts of meas because of my budget and have even eating things like hot dogs and steaks lately. I had panicked when I though I wouldn't be able to stay on my diet when my husband gave me our budget. Reality is, if I cut out all unnecessary foods, I will have enough. It has just taken me a while to calm down and see that. Yes I have to sacrifice some goodies like coffee and soda and cool whip like we have been using them, but that won't be bad for us. I can keep my fruits and veggies because they are the mainstay of my new lifestyle. Well, got to go now. Off to the gamed. Have a wonderful Christ center Ester.
THe thought came to me as I am going through bankruptcy that Christ did much the same thing on the cross only on a grander scale to what the courts are doing for me. WHere as the courts are only excusing part of my debt, Christ payed for all of my debt in God's bank of wretched sins. LIke that new loving rescue dog. I am beginning to see and feel just how relieved and given a second chance after a brush with death. I also feel so totally at awe that God saw me for who I was, a debtor, yet loved me enough to pay my debts.How many people would pay for your sins or pay your debts by dying for you ?
Yes, this weekend, I will be praising an awesome God and thanking Him for helping me through all the hurts, hang ups, and my addiction to food, and my salvation some thirty years ago. Have a good one.
