Another WAKE UP CALL!!

So yes I know I was suppose to blog last week but I honestly didnt want to because after I check the scale I gained a 1.5lb back which I was kinda expecting the way I have been going the past couple weeks with late meetings and late night dinners but it still was a blow for me. I know I know what you are thinking Tesia!! its only a 1.5 but still for the last 4 months all I have been seeing is loss so to see gain kinda was a blow but also another wake up call to make sure I get my meals in and keep pushing myself during my workouts. With that said within just this past week I have lost another 4.5lbs!! so I loss 3 lbs plus the 1.5lbs I had gained so PRAISE BE TO GOD HE IS SOO GOOD!! I know I say it a lot but its true I could not be where I am without him.

You are probably wondering where I am in total and I am 25.5lbs down!!! its a crazy feeling Im almost at another major goal wow cant believe it!!..Last night at church my pastor reminded us where in Psalm 37 to delight in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart. It is so true if you truly understand what is being said in that passage because for me like it was when I realized this is a way I'm glorifying my father and that is part of my walk in him, is when it helped me get it together to lose this weight and get healthy. It was when I knew I could never allow myself to put losing this weight infront of God is when it all clicked in my head on how I need to lose this weight. And that while I'm punching that bag or walking up and down those hills I can bring glory to God and exalt his name. ITS A GREAT FEELING KNOWING YOU ARE IN HIS WILL AND CAN JUST ENJOY THE RIDE!!

I know this journey I am on right now will never end for me that weight will always be an issue and one slip up I will be back where I started and like even 10 steps farther back but I know if I remain diligent,wise, honest to myself, and with the encouragement I receive I will FIGHT THIS FIGHT UNTIL THE LORD TAKES ME HOME!! :)

Although I miss my family, friends, and church family back at home in Florida very much. God has blessed me by working it out for me to be here in ga and attend Destiny Metropolitan Church if you would have told me at this time last year I would be here helping my cousin and joining ministries at this church here in the atlanta area I would have laughed at you but I am so glad it happened. I have grown so much in my walk and been challenged so much it is allowing the continuation to mold me into the woman I know God wants me to be its great and who knows where this will go in the future I know it can only go up from here. :)
