I very well could have gotten frustrated and upset and gave up right there. Past times of trying I probably would have. BUT yesterday Jerrica gave a word at church that, in short, said not to give up on dreams. At first yesterday I thought that word had nothing to do with me. I really hadnt given up on any dreams. If there were dreams that I stopped going after, it wasnt really because I gave up, more because my dreams changed over time. Then this morning, standing on the scale, I thought to myself, "this is stupid." It would be SO easy to give up now. It would be so easy to forget that although I only lost 0.2lbs this week, that I am still ahead of where my goal was by more than 2 weeks.
So, instead of giving up, instead of getting frustrated, instead of making pancakes and sausage for breakfast, instead of making up excuses, Im going to remember God's word for us this week.
**Do not give up on your dreams**
The insight you've received is more valuable than if you lost more than you expected. Your body may be shrinking but your faith and endurance and strength are growing! Well done! I am cheering you on!
