Some of it medication related, but some of it is related to how much food I stuff in my mouth. I just can't seem to say no to goodies. Even though I don't buy them, they are everywhere I go. I have never tried turning this over to God; it seems so trivial for God to be worried about. However, there has been a BIG thing going on in my life in the past ten years. Just in the last few months have I seen a resolution to that. I know God is able, if I just trust him with my issues. So, I am going to turn this weight gain over to God. Knee problems and diabetes run in my family. Both are made worse by weight gain. <br /><br />Knowing Paul was in prison makes me think how sometimes we make ourselves be in prison. We box up our problems and don't share them with anyone, especially God. Calling them out to God, and believing He can do something about them is the only way we can be assured of getting an answer. Now we just need to be ready if that answer is no. It has always bothered me people say that God didn't answer their prayer. Yes, He did. If the answer wasn't yes, it might have been no, or not now. It is never just left in limbo because He didn't have the time or desire to answer it. I am going to challenge myself to let myself out of prison and just trust God that He can and will handle my problems.Becky McVeynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8403271190747072333.post-63640451246670740472014-06-06T16:16:04.905-07:002014-06-06T16:16:04.905-07:00It "it" in my life is my PTSD and workin...It "it" in my life is my PTSD and working through my "life". Will my life ever be normal again? or as normal as life gets! Will I ever work a real job again? Will I make it through all of my "it"?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08080957616964055490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8403271190747072333.post-64887456673004552212014-06-03T21:04:19.508-07:002014-06-03T21:04:19.508-07:00The big 'It's' in my life right now ar...The big 'It's' in my life right now are 'How on earth am I going to find a job at my age!' And 'how can the church and its school live in love and harmony and unity?' They both seem as impossible as the jews and the gentiles coming together in Christ! So I need the word NOW right now. God is able and He has given me more than I ever thought or imagined ( I didn't even know enough to ask Him for the job and church/school blessings we've enjoyed for the past 9 years!) But what about "now?" God knew I would need this study right now...thanks, Sis, for leading it!Shaunahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02337106544783647676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8403271190747072333.post-68825939766965904062014-06-03T09:28:11.270-07:002014-06-03T09:28:11.270-07:00The 'It's' in my life are behaviors wi...The 'It's' in my life are behaviors with myself and one of my children, and for my ministry.<br /><br />I am LOVING this book!<br /><br />I had claimed, a few months ago, these very verses in Ephesians for Lessons From Aisle 12!
