One Week, No Weakness! WOW!!!

This has been a wonderful week, with no struggling, no overwhelming times of temptation, (a few mild moments God gave me victory over!) & with confidence growing & feeling more alive by the day!
The biggest difference this time, {aside from making up my mind to just do it, & thinking of myself as a Raw Foodist, not as one who's TRYING to be!}, is starting each day in prayer, asking for God's help for this day, for His strength to be mine, & presenting my body to Him as a living sacrifice, so I can glorify Him in my body~
It's really about dying to self, I'm beginning to finally accept...to being willing, as His disciple, to crucify my fleshly desires, no matter what they're crying out for, & to choose LIFE, in the foods He created for our health & nourishment, rather than the world's poor, life-destroying imitation!
In the book of Revelation, there are a bunch of verses that start, "They that overcome..." The Lord's been bringing them to mind, showing me that my health has been, in the past, an area where I have been overcome...
...but sinse He healed me of inflammatory breast cancer in such a miraculous way, I am increasingly conscious that He wants to make me an overcomer in every area of my life, & give me a powerful testimony of another healing, that requires MY participation, (besides prayer!)
...& that when I am free of this morbid obesity {& all the other things going on in my body} I will finally, fully be glorifying Him in my body, & free to do ALL He put me here to do!
I'm counting the days...weeks...months...this YEAR is dedicated to Him, to allowing Him to REIGN in me, & to no longer allow my flesh to regn over my spirit!!!
Press on, fellow Rawbies! Victory is right around the corner!!!
P.S. Angel, can you send me a link to your blog? Tried to find it, couldn't...send it to stazia@telus.net thanks!
