Have you been outside? Wow! It is gorgeous here in the Upstate. I had my sunroof open on the way home from church today while Lucas snoozed in his carseat. He is always so subdued when I pick him up from the nursery. His demeanor says to me, "Mama, stop socializing and get me to my crib!"
Well, church was pretty amazing. For those of you who were there you understand what I mean. The message was really intense and the response was amazing. I wish that we would do an alter call every Sunday. I think people would really respond to that. For those of you not in attendance, the sermon was on Temptation. Perry used the classic Biblical story of David and Bathsheba. The point that struck me the hardest is that I need to set some boundaries to deal with things that I am tempted by. For example, food is a big temptation for me. As Perry said, I too am a food picker. Even when I am finished with my meal, I will pick at the food that is in front of me until it is gone. It's like I'm mindless when it comes to food. If there is chocolate in the house, I will eat half of it before I even realize what I'm doing. It's quite pathetic of me, I have to say.
Many of you know that I am trying to lose some weight and get in shape. I'm lost 40 pounds so far, 38 of which was baby, and 2 pounds were from me. I am surronding myself with people who are keeping me accountable by asking me hard questions about my habits and motives. But my challenge for myself this week is to actually write down some boundaries to deal with the temptation of overeating. I need a game plan. Dr. Phil would be so proud.
