Imagine my amazement when the scale showed a 1 pound loss this morning. Why is that so amazing? Well, I hadn't been very careful with my eating and I had only been to the gym twice over the course of the past 17 days. I even weighed myself twice, just to make sure. I am now down 33 pounds. I didn't deserve this and I am grateful for mercy. I am 7 pounds away from wearing those new tennis shoes I purchased a while back as a short term goal reward. I should have been double that away because of the choices I had made. Perhaps having been faithful to Christ in my eating and the gym in the past increased my metabolism enough to stay the course on the short term while I wandered? I will not waste this grace I have been shown. Looking forward to a week on track and weigh in next Friday!
But unto every one of us is given grace
according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
Ephesians 4:7
