23rd- 29th July 2017
I have always loved the summer, it’s usually warmer, it’s a time to go on holiday, it’s time to relax and wind down.
Since I have been going down this weight loss journey, and I am now half way through my second summer, I find that the summer is also the hardest.
Summertime is when all routine is gone. I am a person who likes routine. Routine means you know what is coming and you can prepare for it.
In the summer it’s always been see where the day takes me, no particular plans. Trying to lose weight with no routine is the hardest. It’s like I can’t concentrate on my goals, I am totally lacking in focus.
This week I have spent a few days at a conference called Focus. I was hoping, because of the name, it might help me with my focus.
One thing that was said was “don’t think that God is invisible – his fingerprints are all over your life”
One thing I have noticed over the past 18 months is how much help God has actually given me. How even through the hard times he has been right there by my side.
Here I am going through another hard time. Finding it hard to stay focused on my ultimate goal. One thing, though, that I am forgetting is that God is there beside me leaving his fingerprints. I just forgot to look for them.
Thank you. I have also been realising recently that I need to increase my spiritual efforts on behalf of weight loss. Praying for it more, focusing on the blessings in my life etc. Thanks for the reminder.
