Prepare for landing! - Each week seems to have challenges; sometimes each day has them. I am learning that my struggle with food isn't about the food, it is about my heart. When I can keep on the path, not turning to the right or the left, but just plug along straight down the path I have gone before, it is easier to follow a healthy eating plan. But, when I have to deviate from the usual, the comfortable, and I find myself on unfamiliar ground it gets a bit trickier to maneuver.
I am learning to prepare for times when I will find myself in a setting that is not routine. I want to be sure that I don't turn to food for that familiar face in the crowd to comfort me. I am not always comfortable in situations that I can't control: a hospital room, a funeral home, a company picnic. Anyone of these scenarios can take me back to my food stronghold.
It is becoming more and more obvious to me that I need to be prepared for turbulence in my life. By starting my day with a bit of quiet time with God I can get through these rough skies. When I acknowledge that He gives me the strength I need to face any turmoil that may be waiting for me; that He is my parachute and it is firmly fastened, I am ready to land safely!
Scripture encouragement for today is from Psalm 63:6-8 "On my bed I remember you; I think of you through the watches of the night. Because you are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings. My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me."
