Change

Yes my Lord! I'm in a place in my life now I'm use to reading about in God's word.I use to wonder how the Disciples could praise God through all of their difficult situations? Now I know it's because of the weight of their trials and tribulations were pushing them. Now I also praise God for all He's brought me through,all of the rejection,disappointments,depression,family strife. Everything! God is using the things we call bad to help us stand tall and give Him Glory! While causing all of it to work for our good Amen. So wherever you are in your life now try not to worry God is working it out I give Him Praise.

Love in Christ Pat

Weight Loss or Not

Mercy,this weight problem I've been battling all of my life!! And it has not gotten any better,I'm feeling so down right now. Did I really hear from God or was it the flesh? I'm having questions popping all over the place. This is a very hard place for me because I hate being fat,I totally hate it!! There are a lot of big girls,ladies that look good in their clothes,but I don't consider myself one of them. But where is my God in all of this pain and disappointment ? It seems as if there is no way for me to lose this weight and keep it off,yet there are so many others that have achieved this. So what do I do now? Well I'm sure of a few things:
1. God's love for me has not changed.
2.Maybe I didn't hear from God what I thought.
3.I will continue to trust in God because he is the truth and he still has all power.
4.I will keep praying for I'm sure God can and he will help me do this,because he loves me.
5. God's delays are not denials.
When all is said and done,through every type of trial under the sun.The question is always: Will you trust God in this and continue to praise him? And Father my answer is yes I will because I know you and you're good and your promises are all true and you have not planned any defeat for me.
I hope you're having a wonderful day,and if you're in a hard place,just remember  Romans 8:35~39 Nothing can separate us from the Lord .

 Romans 9:26 The Holy Spirit helps us in our distress.For we don't even know what we should pray for,nor how we should pray.But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words. Praise God for I sure need that help today.
Love in Christ
Praise God I'm on my way! God is a promise keeper,I prayed and prayed Father please do not let me get my up to a size 24. I was praying and yet so full of fear and in spite of it all God is walking me through,learning how to eat healthy and portion control are important for me. I love to eat and I do still enjoy my food,but eating less is good for me.I'll add pictures of the little me when I get there. Right now is a picture of me at my heaviest 264lbs.
I did lose the weight, after many years! I am now in a size 16 thank you Jesus, it's a struggle!  But God is Able.

"Rejoice"

Habakkuk 3:17 Even though the fig trees

have no blossoms,and there are no grapes on
the vine,even though olive crops fails
and the fields lie empty and barren
,even though the flocks die in the fields,and the cattle
barns are empty.Yet will I rejoice in the Lord!I
will be joyful in the God of my Salvation.

REJOICE,REJOICE I SAY
FOR GOD HAS BLESSED US WITH
ANOTHER DAY
THIS IS THE REASON I CAN SING
AND REJOICE TO THE KING
EVEN DURING TIMES OF LACK
I CAN PRAISE HIM WITHOUT
TURNING BACK
FOR JESUS MY KING
IS IN CONTROL OF EVERYTHING
SO REJOICE,REJOICE TODAY
AND SING
OUT PRAISES TO OUR KING.
Love in Christ Pat
