a new strength
I learned something new at church last night. I have a new battle cry: Food is only a shadow in the light of Christ. It's powerful, and when I'm feeling weak, I can meditate on this and remember how small and dark food is compared to the strength, hope, love, and life that Christ gives me. It has already helped me today. I'm feeling especially tired which is one of the ways that food has held power over me in the past. But, instead of giving into the exhaustion and obsession, I'm praying, and it's working. God give me the will and ability to stick with my food plan. I give my hunger and my food to you. Please take them from me and fill me with your will.
