March 8, 08 Conviction or Conversion ?

I am not sure where to begin with this but here it goes.......I have decided to finally make the changes that have been on my mind and in my heart for a very long (ok, extremely long time) in reguards to my health. You see it is embarrassing and humbling for me to say that I have a home-based business teaching and encouraging others to take care of their health via natural means. Actually that is not the embarrassing part. The embarrassment comes from the fact that I do NOT follow my own advice. I do, but I also waver from it on a regular basis. One of my Coffee House Gals (I will explain that at some other time) once said “ there is a difference between conviction and conversion”. How right she is!!  I have lived with a conviction for most of my adult life about eating to the glory of the Lord. You see, I sale Nutritional products to supplement the diet (not a bad thing), BUT .............my conviction, and my counsel to others, is that it takes a healthy lifestyle (which would include a healthy diet ), along with supplementation, exercise, etc. to be truly healthy.So why am I, the hypocrite blogging? I am not an expert by any means. I have not even lost my own weight yet. I have only a beginning of the victory. Yet my reason for blogging it that the Lord has made it clear to me that I will one day walk in victory in the area of eating. One day I will have the lean, fit body that is characteristic of the self-control I so desire to exercise. This is where YOU come into the picture. Not only has the Lord told me this but He has also told me (in time I will try to explain HOW I hear from my precious Savior) that I would show others how to do the same thing. See it is so much more than just loosing weight. There is a heaviness, a bondage, and sense of fear that only someone who has been held captive by the enemy in this area can relate to. I only feel the freedom to begin this blog now out of obedience and because of a release I just recently experienced

Praise God for fessing up. It is a healing process in the making to just get it out there and deal with it one minute at a time. God knows your heart and only He can revel what is needed and you are followng Him into all truths and righteousness as you use your faith to make it so. What you have just spoken is the first step to the freedom needed. Hallelujah your faith in action! May this be the first day to the bestus days of your life. Lovingly, rilda *U*
