The Guilt Feeling

And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself. (Matthew 27:5 KJV)

The month of July started off with a bang, I had reached my 5th weight lost goal and celebrated by presenting myself with a new goal of another 5 pounds.   Let's just say I'm 4.8 pounds shy of reaching that goal July.

I have been dedicated to the gym but not really making good food choices.  While, pushing papers back and forth the question became tonight shall I attend the gym or bible studies.  I know! I know!  Im still learning who am in Christ Jesus, and even thinking of missing a day to worship and fellowship in the house of the Lord is a not good idea.  Like Judas, I wanted to depart and hang myself with guilt. It was creeping around my mind.

This I do know, to live for the Lord means to give oneself to Him, body, mind, and spirit.  

Don't forge ahead with your own plans in situations where you don't yet see what God is doing.  I know he's tranforming my body. I will wait for His guidance to become clearer.  I trust God with every part of my life.  I trust he knows I'm dedicated to the cause of losing weight but I must seek him first.

Prayerful, don't ask God to do what you want. Ask God to do what is right.

In the end, I made a decision I can live with.
