Weighing in on Will

OK Pals, I think my "self-experiment" may be over... Here are the conclusions to my personal "experimental study"...

When I cheat, my stomach bloats out like a big fat balloon, and my face gets puffy.
When I cheat, my clothes don't fit. Even my fat-girl clothes are tight and uncomfortable.
When I cheat, I am only temporarily satisfied.
When I cheat, I serve nothing healthy or godly - rather I contribute to my weakness

When I meet this challenge, I feel strong.
When I meet this challenge, my clothes fit comfortably.
When I meet this challenge, I feel like I'm doing something significant for my health.
When I meet this challenge, I think it pleases God and I want to please God.

So today, this minute, and all the minutes of each day, I have a new opportunity ... the question I face is this;

Whose will am I going to honor today - my will or God's will?

I need the strength of the Lord to do this challenge successfully.
When I exercise, I exercise His Perfect Will in me!
When I don't exercise, my will gets stronger.
Please pray for me to do His Will.

Thanks!

Changing my track record,
Betty Boop

(Blogmeister note: The Groovies are in the midst of a lifestyle challenge to live in a health-honoring way. Please pray for all of us to be squarely in God's will and not rely on our own puny willpower.)
