Day 3 PM

Today is day 3 of my 40 days - 40 carbs - 40 prayers.

Weight: 169 pounds
BFI: 29%

Today was a tougher day. It was longer and harder than the previous days. I think it mostly has to do with the amount of time I am currently spending on the computer combined with my overwhelming distaste for wearing my glasses. The Yo-Yo weight doesn't really bother me, I think it is more the time spent on the Internet trying to advertise my blog.

Today I had lots of veggies and green food. Although I realized two things. 1. I need to have pickles at my house. 2. I should have been taking multivitamins. Today was my last day with no exercises. Tomorrow I get to do STEP aerobics combined with an abdominal workout. If I am going to start dropping weight then I need to tone up. Don't want flaps of skin hanging off of me.

Today during the hardest part of the day I did what God always wants for his children to do. I reached out to another believer. She is a great spirit with a strong and intimate relationship with Christ. The advice and comfort she gave me was based on God's word and it filled the emptiness that had felt so overwhelming only moments before.

God never meant for us to be alone. He wants us to fellowship with other believers and then go out and spread His love to everyone we encounter. In the morning I pray for a person I can help. Yesterday I got to run an errand for my sister. Prayer spoken, and answered. Today I haven't gotten to help anyone. My hope is that someone visited this blog and felt something. Perhaps someone came and clicked on the Prayer for Salvation link.

We can't always see the way God works or how he affects those that we bump into during the run of our day. But we need to trust that He does. Praise be to God.
