Here it is in the middle of September and I am looking out of my window, in a VERY NEW STATE... I moved from California to Wisconsin just this past week... amazing what God does in a very short time when you are obedient to Him...
I was engaged to be married at the beginning of this summer, but it was VERY CLEAR that he was NOT the man for me! So I broke off the engagement and heard that my folks were moving to WI onto my brother's property! So.... on a whim I applied for income based housing in WI. Now I know that it takes 2-5 YEARS to get into a place, but God had different plans. I broke things off with Mark and 2 days later, I applied for the housing. In a matter of 3 WEEKS, I was picking my move-in date!!!! Then came the chore of finishing up my time in WA being with Mark for a month to driving 12-14 hours to start packing up my house to move across the country!
Now, I say all this to show what's been going on in my life, but seeing how my eating patterns, behaviors, and thinking has been affected. I was careful in WA, in fact, I lost weight! Then with the packing and saying "see ya laters", to the actual move across country - I gained 8 pounds! I'm still in the 200's (thank God!), but back on "program" I go! I noticed that some old eating habits and thinking were starting to creep back in and slowly grab hold of me... AGAIN! BUUUUUT... NOPE!! Not today Satan...NOT TODAY!
Being tired, even depressed to some degree, trying to unpack and get some kind of order to your new house, breaking off a relationship that you longed for for over 17 years - can cause a person to overeat, turn to bad habits, and just plain ol' give up.
BUT NOT THIS WOMAN! I will NOT GIVE IN!! I WILL NOT GIVE UP!!! I AM A LADYBOSS!
