Thanks Lisa & Leigh Anne!

Leigh Anne, have you considered sowing a seed in your church or community with the $$ you were going to spend on that weight loss book? Just a thought!

Thank you all for your feedback & sharing your experiences! Personally, I tend to get obsessed when I start anything new – a diet, a new workout routine, etc… and these verses just smacked me in the face that night @ Bible study (we weren’t even talking about them in this context – definitely a God Thing!). I worry too much about food/weight/clothes and that time should be spent “seeking HIM FIRST”. I’m glad that you were blessed and got some “food for thought”.

Mr Linky should be working here next week, but feel free to link up and post your blogs in the comments section in the meantime.

Honestly…
this post was my “light bulb moment,” because I was thisclose from buying the latest “quick” weight loss manual (that I’ll likely not read) on Amazon.com. I need more nourishment & strength training from God’s Word than I do another book or exercise program.

So thank you for this…really…

Love it! I think that we are so busy, and I know something is out of balance in God’s divine plan in our lives! Everyone I talk to doesn’t have enough time to spend with God.

I think your plan of action is useful. How much time and energy am I wasting on things that take away from my God? I will implement this question into whatever I do!

Thank you for this post!

I am trying to cut down my caffeine so this is on my mind a lot these days. The temple, what is good for me, what do I NEED? All of this is a deep well. I know above all things that God desires peace for me. I try not to obsess in any category, be it fruit, veggie, whole grain or dessert. I simply want my body to be fit enough to do anything that He brings my way. More than that, I hope my heart is fit enough for anything that He brings my way!

Thanks, Melinda! Great topic.

Andrea’s words above are wise indeed!

I have been noticing more and more talk about external beauty these days, with everyone trying to fit a certain mold or else they are not content. I KNOW that our Father has much to teach us about the unconditional nature of His love. He won’t love us more if we love 10, 50, or 100 pounds, and He won’t love us less if we do not. Why then do we put those conditions on ourselves?

Are you considering adding something like Mr. Linky so we can link easily?

I struggled with this for years and am just finding the balance now. I really believe that it is a balance – for me, if I’m not spiritually fit I am most certainly obsessing about how physically unfit I am. But when I really focus my eyes on Him, I am able to see myself as beautiful and then care for myself accordingly.

This is a great post, Melinda!

Thanks so much for this new meme. At first I didn’t sense the depth of it, that is until I started searching my own heart! Amazing what the Word of God can reveal when we just open up our minds…

Bless you,
Susan
