The Little Foxes--Song of Solomon 2:15

Hello Ladies I am back again. Last week at weigh-in I had a .2 gain. Yuck! It seems I can't get passed this plateau. Then I got to thinking, where am I going wrong? Well it was warm the past couple of weeks and the least bit of salt causes me to retain fluid. But I don't salt my food any more? Where was this salt coming from? Then I really got to investigating what I was eating and drinking. Do you realize just how much salt is in Diet sodas? Or in the low calorie foods we try to stick to eating? I did not realize it either! We have to be more diligent in reading the labels on the foods we eat. All kinds of ugly stuff sneaks in on us without our knowledge.

Then it hit me like a ton of bricks that sin can creep into our lives the same way. Here we are thinking we are doing so good in our christian walk but if we really examine our lives we would find we are retaining fluid!! What we call the little sins trip us up but they get by us because we are looking for the big sins. A movie we shouldn't watch, or anger at another driver, or just simply speeding. Every day things that we do without a thought given to the action. An action that if Jesus were standing next to you, you would not have done. We need to be more aware of our every day lives just as we need to be more aware of the foods we eat.

So this week slow down and read those food labels and take stock in our every day actions. When you discover the little flaws, make those changes now. You will benefit in the long run. Take care this coming week and I will be talking to less of you in the future.

Your Sister In Christ,
Lynne
