Aug 19, 2013 - Day 11 of SD: Beautiful morning harvesting okra and squash and gathering eggs. Not so beautiful when my entire egg basket tumbled off the golf cart and busted all but one little egg. Womp! Womp! I love a productive day, but I can't wait to go to work tomorrow so I can get some rest! LOL!
Made to Crave devo this morning once again hit me right at home! I swear, sometimes I think I could've written that book because her thoughts are so similar to mine. It makes me wonder how many more women share the same story.
For most of my adult life, I have fought this battle, giving it to God but taking it back. I have asked deacons and elders at church to pray that God would remove these addictions from me, yet I never released the white-knuckled grip I had on them. I have asked friends and family to help me and hold me accountable, but became angry or frustrated when they pulled their "Food Police" routines. I have apologized to God, to friends, and to family for continually messing up in this deal, but I know that's not really necessary. God's grace has no limits. He knows how many times it will take for us to give up our strongholds, and He waits patiently on us. His grace is sufficient for me!
