Since I have used this Bible passage as an example of how the Lord God has positively influenced my overeating, this doesn't necessarily reflect the whole meaning of the verse. Debbie

COE Support Note:

If you REALLY want to read how Christ helped me throughout this weight loss and even when I was tempted, you should read some of the 100's of previous posts on https://christianovereaterssupport.blogspot.com/

Faster, Faster, Faster!

For now we live, if ye stand fast in the Lord.  1 Thessalonians 3:8 

I picked this Bible verse mainly because it had the word "fast" in it. I did that because I was wanting to write about when Christ was allowing me to lose the 80 pounds, I had a period of time where I was trying to make to the weight come off even faster.

It's kind of like the old movies with the stage coach that would get to the end destination, but used the whip to snap at the horses saying, "Faster, faster, faster!" Sometimes, the stagecoaches would turn over at that speed and break a wheel and didn't get to their destination at all. 

I guess I'm even more blessed than I realize, because God showed me what I was doing by eating only half of my breads (carbs, but I call them breads) and skipping some of my meals.  I was saying to God, "Thanks God for the weight loss You're doing in my body, but it's not as fast I want, so I'm going to take charge now, so I can get to my goal faster, faster faster!"

Well, fortunately for me, Christ didn't just give up on me for being so ungrateful and showed me that I needed to stand steadfast in the Lord. I have also been blessed by a peace that Christ has in my life that never existed prior to turning my life, stress, food, body, and eating over to His very capable hands. Although I backslide, at times, He refocuses me and has allowed the vast majority of the 80 pounds to stay off over 30 years. He can do the same for you, if you let Him!

 Since I am applying these Bible Verses to my life, it may not convey the whole meaning of the verses. Debbie
