It’s been crazy all my life. What about yours? You won’t believe what happened? Usually I weigh myself every morning, first thing, after I wake up. So this Sunday, after waking up around 3 am. I weighed myself and the scales went up two pounds. WHAT? How can that be? I don’t believe it. It can’t be, not after all that food I did not eat! No! Can’t be, It just can’t be!
Then I laid on the sofa, praying. “Lord, how can this be? I ate the way You to me to. I don’t understand? Guess I ate too many desserts, but they were small portions. After all, You did say I could have small portions.
Lord I guess my head’s too big and I’ve gotten too full of myself. Forgive me, fill me up, full of Your Presence”
Continuing to pray. “Lord, guess I’ll have to confess my weight gain on this blog. Maybe it’ll help others. We all mess up now and then. But what do I do now? Should I give up all desserts? What about going on a strict diet? Do I increase exercise? Drink even more water?”
(You know, for me, drinking the water seems the hardest part. Just can’t’ seem to achieve drinking those 8 glasses of water.)
I laid on the sofa and prayed about it even more confessing all the sins I could think of, imagined or not. After soul-searching for about another hour, I decided to weigh again.
This time I decided to take off the sweat pants I’d been sleeping in. Then I stepped on scales. They went back down two pounds. What? Now instead of showing a two lb gain, they said I stayed the same. Well, I did lose .02 oz. Does that count as weight loss?
Remember back in 2014, when this little video was making the rounds on Facebook? It was not created by me. The source is unknown. But I identified with it so much that I’ve kept it all this time. And yes, I just laughed at it again.
It describes how I feel sometimes. Yes, the song is right. I’ve been crazy all my life. How about you? Do you feel this way sometimes? Click on the link for the video: It’s Been Crazy

Preborn.org provides free ultrasounds for women considering an abortion. Then hopefully after the mother sees her unborn child in the womb, she’ll choose ‘life’ for that baby. So please consider making a donation for the unborn.
India Partners.org is a Christian agency that helps people in India with education, vocation training, disaster relief and medical/health issues. But what touches my heart the most is their work to provide a safe place for children of women who work in the red districts of India.

ADVERTISEMENTS
First of all, you know I have to recommend the book I wrote with God’s help. During early morning hours, I’d talk with God about my weight/food issues and that’s what the book is about.
After all, He was my weight loss counselor and He still is today. I highly recommend talking to God to everyone who struggles with weight or any other issues. Of course, He’ll listen to you. So talk to Him about anything on your heart. After all, God answers prayers.
Just click on the picture to order your copy. (Thank you Lord, for forgiveness, second chances, and new beginnings.)
Also, I’d like to share with you several books written by a personal friend of mine. She writes Christian love stories which include mystery and murder.
In addition, she included my idea as how to get rid of the body of the villain. So naturally I like her books. but it does help that she encourages me to write again. I think you may be able to read them via Kindle for free now. You’ll have to check it out.
Also, just so you know, she is not paying me to mention her books on this blog. In fact she doesn’t even know about it. But I do receive a small commission from anything you order from Amazon through this blog. So thank you for helping to provide for the expense of maintaining this blog through your orders from Amazon.
This is my favorite book written by my friend. In fact, I cried the entire time I read it. It was her first book.
