A friend (thanks MaggieBaby) sent this blog by Max Lucado to me and I just had to share it with everyone. It's SO perfect for weight loss! Here's what he said:
"The trip from Egypt to the promised land can be made in nine days (Deuteronomy 1:2). It took the Israelites thirty-eight years.
What they should have done, they didn’t ... So God decided they needed some time to rethink a few things.
Maybe God is wanting to teach you a few things. Pay attention. You don’t want to spend thirty-eight years missing the point."
We're on a journey, too, and we don't want to spend thirty-eight years before we finally reach OUR promised land! So ... eyes up, hands busy, feet moving and mouths closed! We can do it. Thanks Max!
“Lord, you bless those who do what is right.” Psalm 5:12

I love this! Sooooo appropriate! I think it was just last Sunday that my pastor mentioned this in his sermon. He didn't relate to weight loss, but it's funny that I've been reminded of this twice within the same week. Maybe God is trying to tell me something! Hmmmm :)

Maggie keeps me on the up side everyday with these wonderful devotions. :) I really like Max because he is a man of few words at times.... and yet says SOOOOO much.
Hugs,

Wow, thanks Kim:) I am glad to be able to share this message with everybody here this way--as I don't have ALL your email addresses, lol:) Max Lucado just has a way of speaking God's message to us, doesn't he? And yes, this one is very appropriate to our weight loss struggle--and other struggles we may find ourselves in.
Margaret:)
