Walking and Support and Love from Friends and Church and Family and Work

Talk about a mini miracle well not really small to me. I walked several miles over the weekend! That is a miracle only God could have performed. I am being obedient by getting healthy and He is right by my side. I can't believe that Sunday after church, I walked 3 miles! My heavenly Father has also taken away some food cravings for now. I have been eating good food in normal proportions. I shared in Sunday school that food may always be a problem for me, but the way I feel right now, the Lord may heal me totally from my food issues. Over eating is a sin that keeps me separated from God, so my prayer is that I continue to eat healthy and keep moving. I am so blessed to have the support of so many people. I have the most support that I have ever had in my life. God's word, and praying and studying is a huge source of strength. My friend Kim told me about Emerging Healthcare, and I went to a healthy eating class. There at the class I met Janis, and Stephanie. They encouraged me to walk. Stephanie has been so supportive and such an inspiration. I would have never thought I could do a 5K until I met her, but with her support I have signed up for one! Also, I am back in church and my wonderful church family at Cool Springs Baptist are so encouraging and loving and caring. I also have my family who are cheering me on. My sister Julie and I are doing a Bible study together, Made to Crave, Satisfying Your Deepest Desire with God Not Food by Lysa TerKeurst. I do not know what I would do without my sister Julie. She is constantly building me up, encouraging, listening, talking, loving me. She makes me sound like the best thing. If I ever needed a publicist, she would be hired! I have a therapist and a wonderful support group who share and are open and have helped me in ways that I could never have imagined. I work with the best group of people anyone could ask for. My job is a positive, creative, uplifting, caring place to work. My boss is a wonderful Christian woman and the owners of the company I work for are the most awesome Godly people with a heart for others and generous spirits. There is nothing better than the job I have right now, the company that I work for. I have been blessed and blessed and blessed. God uses challenges, trauma, problems, health issues, and addictions for future good. I hope and pray that my story can help at least one person. Dear Lord, Don't let me get the big head, but let me glorify you in this journey and in all things. Keep me humble.
Love Jacque
