Good Morning Girlz!!! We are celebrating June bdays this morning, so I've decided to be fashionably late. Guest of Honors have that priviledge...right? Hope everyone has a fun-filled weekend planned. Mine is pretty low-key. Dinner with the girls tonight, running tomorrow and then church Sunday. Next Wednesday I fly out for MEXICO!!!!!! so there are a few things (like getting pesos) I need to get done this weekend. I hope you each have a wonderful weekend! If you thought May went fast, look at June! Next weekend is July! We only have 2 more weeks in M2C. It's been a fun, learning, challenging, changing ride! Can't wait to see what we come up with for our next study! Love you all! Happy Weekend!
S - Three times a day Daniel got down on his knees and prayed, giving thanks to his God, just as he had done before. Daniel 6:10b
O - Pray! Whenever in doubt - pray! When feeling frustrated - pray! When going through a valley - pray! When wondering if I will ever get this eating thing down - pray! When thinking life is unfair - pray! When tempted to live in the darkness - pray! Pray! Pray! Pray! And you know what else I think is interesting? That this verse goes on to tell us what he prayed...thanksgiving. Yes, I do think Lysa is right in her thinking of what some of the things Daniel could have called out to the Lord in his prayer, but the scripture only includes the part about thanks. Have y'all ever heard the saying, "Tell others the best and Jesus the rest."? My mom use to say that. I think when experiencing all those frustrations and emotions and struggles - Jesus is the One to turn to. He is the One to tell it all to. Let others see our thankfulness and His goodness, but spill out our guts to the One who is powerful enough to save us from the pit. You know what else I like? The verse says, "just as he had done before." So often I get bitter about praying the same thing over and over and nothing happening. Daniel kept going. He did not give up. He had a good track record, and never lost hope.
A - I need to pray. Plain and simple. I pray at night and sporatically through out the day for specific requests, but what about when I am tempting with an unhealthy food choice in front of me? Starting today that is what I'm going to do. Before I put it in my mouth, I will bring my craving before the Lord, and I will not give up!
P - Lord help me as I make decisions about my eating. Let me draw to You in prayer any time there is a battle within me.
