Serenity Prayer

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time; Enjoying one moment at a time; Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it; Trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His Will; That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him Forever in the next. Amen. ~

This has been one of the prayers that I have cling ed to over the years. There is are many things in this prayer that I find strength in when I am dealing with uncertainty in my life. Just like last week, the uncertainty has flowed over into this week. I am constantly reminded that no matter what life hands you, when life pushes you down or rains on your parade...it doesn't matter because it's all God's plan. No matter what happens with my job, my finances, it's God's plan and I am resting in it. Always.

This journey of weight though has been exciting, it's also been challenging the last few days. Cravings and temptations have run ramped through my life right now. I can realize, understand and step back from it and know that food isn't the answer to dealing with my stress. *See I'm learning something. Before I would of driven through the starbucks and ordered an venti extra fat, extra sugary drink and been cool with it till it was gone, then guilt would of set in. OR I would of baked a pan of brownies and had no problem cleaning the whole thing out before I went to bed. Honestly that's not the life I want, food isn't my comfort! Now that I am learning this, I have to be real with who I deal with my stress. My journal is overflowing :)
