Have you ever had a “I feel fat today” kinda day? Well, yesterday and part of today have been that kind of day for me. I admit, I was allowing myself to listen to a lot if lies and believing things about myself that are so far from where I am… “Your fat,” “your face looks huge,” “why don’t you just give in and eat the donut? Might as well, you haven’t loss anything!” I know better and didn’t allow myself to cave in but I have to confess I was listening.

Then it happened… I had “1 new message” on Facebook. When I checked the message I wanted to cry. It was from a beautiful woman at church who has been extremely supportive along with her husband of my weight loss. She was saying how proud she and her hubby were of me and recognize my weight loss! She said she was praying God would strengthen me in this journey. She had no clue as to how timely and special that message was to me. I did share my sentiments with her and made her aware if how much that blessed me.

Inspiration comes in all different ways! Today mine came in the form of “1 new message.”  If you are in a “I feel fat” kinda funk then let me be the one to give you your message:

“Stop listening to the lies! Jesus loves you with an everlasting love. You are his favorite. You have been fearfully and wonderfully made.”  If you haven’t made steps to your freedom he is waiting for you. If you have, then be patient, stay faithful and it will happen, chances are it’s already happening you just need to respect the process. That’s what I’ve had trouble with but God once again sent me a reminder today, one that has left me Inspired!

Be encouraged today… We can do this… The best is yet to come!
