K is for Keeping On

I thought the letter K would be an easy one to write about, but only one word or thought came to me as I pondered this writing.  I suppose it is because I have been keeping on for so many years now.  I keep on starting again, keep on moving forward, keep on facing the scale, and most important to me I keep on turning to God for help.

It is becoming obvious to me I am suppose to continue the battle with food, I am suppose to face my shortcoming and keep on.  That is all God asks of me in every battle I encounter.  He encourages me every day by giving me glimpses of His goodness.  I know that He hears my prayers and I feel His presence when I journal my fears and failures.  Like Paul's thorn in his side, so to is my eating disorder.  This food stronghold keeps me praying, keeps me humble, keeps me close to God and keeps me keeping on.

I just realized there is another "K" word which is important to me on this journey - key - keeping on is key.  Keeping on is the key that will unlock the door to a healthy life and the key to a close personal relationship with Jesus.  Once I have accomplished this, my food stronghold will have been replaced with a Jesus stronghold.

Read Isaiah 32:16-20 here.  I pray these words will fill your spirit with hope and love.  Keep on keeping on!
