Weight Loss Bible Study - Day 21

Welcome to Day 21- I. NEED. CHOCOLATE.

"Taste for Truth," - I. NEED. CHOCOLATE.

Chocolate is usually the thing I crave the most, but I am past that two week mark for not eating sugar and I don't really crave it anymore. Sometimes, it goes through my mind in the grocery store as I pass by it at the check out stand, but I haven't reached for one yet. Don't really want to.

Barb talks about emotional eating, something I have big trouble with. We learn at a young age that food is comforting. But we now know we have tools in this study and on her blogs to unlearn that childhood lies. We are learning to exchange the lies for truth and we are relying on God to be our comfort and strength.

Bible Study
She has a great study on when we have trials and how to go to the Bible for help.
Hebrews 12:1-15
James 1:2-4
Romans 5:3-5
"What do you think God wants to teach you through this trial that you're going through?"


Gratitude
1. God's grace
2. God's mercy
3. God's patience

Jeremiah 29:11-13
"For I know the plans I have for you,"
declares the Lord,
"plans to prosper you and not harm you,
plans to give you hope and a future..."
"You will seek Me and find Me
when you seek Me
with all your heart."

Blessings, 
Deborah
