My last post got me thinking,
especially this line: “Jeez, why is God tempting me so much with the food I use
to love lately?” Well I think I got an answer and it doesn’t just apply
to my sweat tooth. This may be a
little hard for me to articulate, but I’ll do my best.
I think God sometimes puts little
reminders in our lives once in a while to show us a glimpse of how you use to
be and how far you’ve come. I
mean, in this case God was showing me that yeah, the temptation was tough, but
it wasn’t impossible like I thought it would be lying in the hospital bed
hearing my diagnosis. Have you
ever come across someone who reminded them of you a year, maybe two years
ago? Either by how narrow minded,
or judgmental, or timid they were? I have and it made me realize that I have
grown (for the better, in my opinion), because sometimes I feel that I have not
changed and I’ve just remained stagnant.
It’s a good feeling; its almost like God is patting me on the back and
saying, “well done, I’m proud of you, look how far you’ve come!”
So when these moments of temptation
occur and you think twice, think a third time and realize the person you are
becoming, because you just might be proud of yourself!
