I went to bed crying last night...
I explained to Jeremiah how I had spent the entire month of June focusing on my appearance. I had set some pretty {unrealistic goals} for the summer. Now, as we end the month of June, I am discouraged. I am discouraged that I don't look any different. I am discouraged that I don't weigh {much} different. I am discouraged that I am a failure.
Yesterday, the Lord got my attention...
He reminded me of when I was in the 6th grade. I remembered back to middle school. I was the fattest kid in my class. He reminded me of a special evening when I opened my Bible and met with Him. I read Proverbs 31:30 for the first time. It captured my attention. It grabbed my heart.
THIS VERSE would be my life verse. THIS VERSE would be my aim. THIS VERSE would reveal who I am.
Last night, He lovingly reminded me of that intimate encounter I had with Him, over 20 years ago!
THIS VERSE would help me focus on the right things, the lasting things, the fulfilling things. I made a commitment to the Lord {in the sixth grade} that He would be the one that I fear {not man}. That He would be the one I reverence {not this world}. That He would be my focus {not myself}.
