Gee willikers, it's been a while since my last post. Sorry everyone (at least I'm hoping more than 2 people read this blog:)...I've included blogging more regularly on my resolution list, so hopefully I'll be a little more consistent this year:)
If I can be real and raw with you all, part of the reason I haven't blogged for so long is that these past few months have been an honest to goodness struggle for me (in the health and fitness department, that is). Once the cold weather hit, running outside just hasn't happened, and I began to lose my focus. Christmas brought with it A LOT of unhealthy eating, and it's sometimes difficult for me to remember that Christmas is over, and eating like that needs to stop:)
Please tell me I'm not the only one who struggles! It's times like this that I'm so thankful for a God of second chances (and third, and fourth, and infinity and beyond...). I'm reminded of 1 Corinthians 10:13 which says,
"The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure."
As much as I wish all my struggles and temptations would just disappear, I have to be honest with myself enough to say I may always struggle with this. The good news is, God IS FAITHFUL to be there throughout the long road ahead, and He promises to make our journey's load light. Will you join me in this journey? Will you believe with me that God will help us endure the struggles?
Be blessed, and remember God finishes the work he starts!!!
