You Are What You Eat!

Yesterday I went to the grocery store after church, I needed to pick up a few things. In the line in front of me was a woman, in her late forties very early fifties, who was riding one of the motorized scooters carts. With no disrepect intended, the woman was a very large in size, and apparently was on disability. As she placed her items on the conveyor belt, I noticed she placed several cases of soda pop (the fruity kind), a couple of gallons of ice cream, some fried chicken, and a few other snacks. My mind went immediately to the sermon I heard just hours before, "You Are What You Eat!"



Unfortunately for some people, an image of diabetes and heart disease riding around on a cart isn't enough for them to say, "hey, what am I doing to myself?" Well, I will be transparent. I know I've been killing myself slowly. I can't blame my actions on anyone but me, because in all things there is a choice. For the past two years, I have been eating out everyday. Partially because it was convenient, some reasons were financial, others were living circumstances. But when I assess the situation and look at myself in the mirror, my complexion has paid a price. I'm winded every time a do something extra. I am no longer my fighting weight of 145 lbs, and there's no child to blame. I'm always tired, and my thinking isn't as sharp as I'd like it to be. Yet I keep praying that God will restore my youthfulness. What a joke!



Understand this, God is not mocked, you will reap what you sow. Crap in Crap Out!

It's my prayer that after these 10 day's, my focus will be better, my relationship with God will be better. The break through I'm praying for will be that much closer.

Listen folks, give this opportunity to cleanse yourself your best effort. It won't be easy I know. But know that some things only come through fasting and praying. You must pray in these next 10 days!
