Wildest Dreams, 23May

Well – the numbers are in – and the triglycerides dropped into the acceptable range – all the numbers seem to be in the right range- I will chat with the doctor on Thursday to make sure….   but wow… the triglycerides were 168 last year – with 149 the upper cut off so they were still a little high but the doctor was so pleased and with then a 26lbs weight loss – because they had been much higher previously…  and now? they dropped to 60 – that’s right – from 168 to  60!

I can’t even imagine how excited he will be when he sees how much weight I have lost now – I actually haven’t weighed myself since October when I leveled off – so I am very curious too –

“Bless the Lord, Oh my soul, oh my soul! Worship His holy name!”

How can I not worship the Lord even more with the faithful transformation that he has done on me – I mean really – I take little to no credit – but applying common sense with an extraordinary focus – WOW – thanks God – I owe ya!  for eternity!

There is a line in a song by Michael Card, which says when the shepherds or wise men saw baby Jesus, that their wildest dreams of God’s promise had simply not been wild enough!

That is EXACTLY how I feel…

Someone said you must have been praying so hard for this weight loss, and I said no, I didn’t even connect it with my awakening until after I had lost like 10 pounds after changing eating and working out for about three months, and my friend said “of course, now that God has focused your head, the rest of you is falling in line…” That’s when I started a more sure focus on eating well, and I PRAISE God for that focus… I feel guilty telling folks how easy it was to lose the weight, and it was purely God who said “you are doing this”… And I listened…

I wish everyone would realize they too can do this…. It’s both they can listen to God and accept Jesus, and they can decide to listen to their God-instilled common sense and lose the weight….
