Hey Rosie! So glad to see you back! I know you can do this. I will definitely be praying for you.
Our pastor has been doing a 3 part sermon series on "Breakthroughs"....spiritual, financial, & physical. Well yesterday was the "physical" sermon. I was anxious to hear his take on it. He used 2nd Corinthians 4:16, 1st Corinthians 6:19-20 and 1st Timothy 4:8. His 4 points were:
Change the way you view your body
Change the way you eat
Change the way you exercise
Change the way you sleep
I was PLEASANTLY surprised when he then had a guy give his testimony about how he lost 47 pounds eating SUGAR FREE!!!
We go to a HUGE church called "12Stone"....4 campuses in the metro Atlanta area and over 20,000 in attendance each weekend. I've only shared my journey with a couple of people there, but I was tickled to hear that even my CHURCH is on board with the same principles as FTS. Made me smile.
(I grew up in a small Baptist church, and I don't think this would have preached there! ha ha Growing up, we enjoyed WAY to many pot luck gatherings and homecoming dinner on the ground.)
