Wednesday Weigh In (14)

In case you've just begun reading my blog, let me catch you up a little. I started this blog as just a place to write about everyday life happenings and things Jesus is teaching me. During the spring of this year I began to feel God calling me to certain things, to do things out of my comfort zone and there was one thing holding me back. My weight. So on June 1st I began my weight loss journey. I asked Jesus to help me take better care of this body He has given me. I wanted to be all in to do anything He asked me to do. I didn't want weight to be an excuse ever again.

One of the things I felt God calling me to was a mission trip to Belize in the summer of 2014. Last night we had our first team meeting for this mission trip. I think these meetings will serve as soo much more than just encouragement and preparation for the trip. They will help serve as a reminder as to why I want to lose this weight. I want to be who God wants me to be. And He does not want me to someone who avoids all uncomfortable situations, because of weight or any other obstacle for that matter.

I can't wait to embrace the changes God brings to my life physically and spiritually over the next 9 months!

And I need your help on this journey, I need prayer partners. If you would be willing to partner with me in prayer over the next 9 months please let me know. Comment here, message me on Facebook, or even text me, the more the merrier! I will give you more information about specific prayer needs throughout the days, weeks and months leading up to our trip.

"Again I say to you, that if two of you agree on earth about anything that they may ask, it shall be done for them by my Father who is in Heaven." Matthew 18:19

As far as weight loss this past week, among all the business of trying to prepare for a sale at my grandpa's house, all the fast food, ice cream and soda, I still managed to lose a little over a pound. I also lost another 4 inches overall during the past 5 weeks.
