Last night, we went to Greenville to stay with my in-laws, because we had an early morning birthday party down in Piedmont. We also celebrated my Sister-in-law's birthday last night with a birthday dinner and fun family fellowship. After the events of the evening were over, I set my alarm clock, to get up and walk this morning. My father-in-law said that he would walk with me and I welcomed his suggestion. As we walked this morning, we talked and laughed and the "hard work" of walking early on a Saturday morning was replaced with sweet fellowship. After our walk, I got to thinking. What is it that I kept dreading about making this lifestyle change? It was the fear of me thinking that I was going to have to do it by myself. The task before me seemed insurmountable on my own. THAT WAS MY PROBLEM! I had the wrong mentality about the entire thing. I was called by God to take care of my body, but He doesn't leave me to do it by myself. Instead, He walks with me each step of the way and He will remain there as long as I do not stray from His presence. What a comfort to know that He is always with me, and the joy of His presence replaces the dread of the task ahead!
