Sunday Reflections

Today I have been reflecting on Thursday night’s meeting as Phil began preparing us for the end of the challenge and the beginning of the rest of our healthy lifestyle.

Below are some of the statements he made and I hope they will help you as much as they are helping me. 

• Celebrate your victories! And don’t stop . . . hang in there.
• Think about 1) where you started, 2) where you are now, 3) how do you want to go forward
• If you don’t continue making good food choices, remember . . . it goes on easy, but it comes off hard.
• Think about who you are now compared to who you were when you started the challenge.
• See that change is possible. And remember the Bible says “All things are possible with God.”

I will share more of what Phil said during the week, but I want to emphasize the above statement. Yes, “all things are possible with God.” He makes the impossible possible. He is still in the miracle business, the prayer answering business, and in the creating business. He will not only create a new heart in a person, but He can help create a new, healthy lifestyle too. We don’t have to do this alone, and I hope that's one thing you have realized through this challenge. . . All things ARE possible WITH God. 

We have traveled far but our road doesn’t end here. Hope you take this next week to plan beyond the upcoming celebration meeting on Thursday night. This IS just the beginning  . . .

Walk – Galatians 5:25 “Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.”

Each day when we rise we have a decision to make as to whether we will follow God or follow our own agenda for the day.  Learning to make our agenda walk with God takes a lifetime, but the reward is indescribable.  Make your life keep in step with God.  He keeps the pace.  He determines the direction.  He knows the distance.  Walk with him.
