I am getting...frustrated at my weight. It's been an issue with me for the last 20 years. Maybe even before then. I keep reading posts, articles, etc, of folks that did THIS, or THAT to lose weight. Some tips are for busy moms. Some are for moms on a budget. But I see TIPS. HOW to do it. Or the weight loss is less than 20 lbs. when it's a success story. Or if it's a lot of weight, it was with kids OR on a budget. Again, never both.
But then, as I log in to Blogger, I see the post of a friend of mine. The Life of a Christian Girl
And the verse in it gives me pause.
1 Samuel 16:7 "But the Lord said to Samuel, 'Do not consider his
appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not
look at things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but
the Lord looks at the heart.' "
It encourages me. Yes, I still need to lose weight. For health reasons if nothing else. But I don't have to have a goal of skinny, or a certain clothing size. Just healthier. Suddenly, the pressure is off.
What do three very close friends do when they move far, far away from each other? When they're close enough in heart, they do the same silly things, and just call each other more often! And then start a blog so they can share the wacky visuals!
