Breakthough!

Breakthough!

I did go spend that time soaking in the Word looking for some wisdom.  And you know what?  THere it was... just the word I needed...waiting for me!  I ended up in Ephesians chapter 4.  There is Eph. 4:22-24 it says "You were taught in reguard to your former way of life to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires, to be made new in the attitude of your minds, and to put on the new self, created to be  like God in true righteousness and holiness." 

That verse was just what I needed to apply to my heart.  The eating habits I have had since I was a teen are just that... old habits of the old self.  I need to be made new in my attitude/mind and put on the new self (new spirit) that is like Christ.  I must aim to think like a healthy lean person that has self control (one of the fruits of the spirit).  

Well I went to work out at the gym with this verse in my head.  Again, as I worked out I got the strongest sense of OVERCOMING, as if I was in battle.  I feel strong again.  Thanks to my friends who were praying for me.  Seems from conversations, that a lot of people have had varying degrees of spiritual and physical battles this weekend.  Well I pray that each of you gets a breather tomorrow and has a blessed Mother' Day.  Angie

Thank you for this post, although I know the verse well, right now it too is striking a cord with in my soul.
