Today's blog post is sponsored by the number 50!

Today's blog post is a celebration! A celebration for the number 50 and what it means to me on this very day. Reaching my 50 pound milestone took much longer than I planned when I started (read about it here), but here I am. There were many setbacks and failures along the way. But I never gave up. I made a choice every day whether I was going to be selfish or do what God asked me to do. At times I was selfish for weeks at a time. But each day, so long as I come back and ask, the Lord is helping me overcome this battle with food (although some of my choices along the way are questionable whether they can even be called that, no nutritional value = no purpose- but I digress) and that number on the scale. He is showing me I am an overcomer!!!

"You are from God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world." 1John 4:4

"For whatever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world- our faith. Who is the one who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?" 1 John 5:4-5

Enjoy some pics from my journey so far!

Lots of things tried to slow me down along the way...

But so much more kept me going, from prayer, to God's Word, to great friends and a mission trip to Belize...

It's taken lots of hard work...

And eating right too!

And it all leads to slow changes!

See you again after the next 50!
