Good Morning Girls!  I don't have much time to write this morning.  I overslept.  I overslept because I ate a huge piece of Costco chocolate mouse graduation cake last night and fell into a sugar induced coma for 8 hours........

Before passing out in sugar shock I did manage to do a couple things.  First I managed to feel guilty.  I felt guilty because I had just promised myself two days earlier that I was going to give up sugar for awhile as it seems to have become the 5th food group in my life again.  I made it 48 hours.......

After the guilt I found time to do a little self loathing.  This was aided by the fact that I put on a pair of jeans.  I decided that 10pm Tuesday was an excellent time to do some overall damage assessment.  It didn't go over well.  I couldn't even button them......

This left just a few moments for me to move into "something serious needs to be done about this" mode.  Surely this is proof that I should be on a "program".  Time to put on the bodybugg.  Time to count calories.  Time to do p90x.  Time to do something........

Time to crash in bed with a headache is the time that it was.  I had two thoughts.  Lord, please help me figure this out and thank God I sold my scale in the garage sale a couple of years ago.  I can only imagine what would have happened had I stepped on that!!

I woke up feeling as I expected to feel after 3 rounds at the bar (taco bar that is- but really it feels the same as if I had visited Margaritaville) a big piece of chocolate cake and oh yeah, a latte........

I walked into my bathroom looked in the mirror and said "Lord, you have got to help me figure this thing out......."

Well I am on day 3 of 100 Days of Favor by Joseph Prince.  What  an awesome God we serve.  He knew exactly what state of mind I would be in on day 3 of my book.  Here's what it said in bold print:

If it matters to you, it matters to Him!

It went on to say later His unmerited favor will transform you into wholeness, and it is the goodness of God, not your striving and self efforts, that will lead you to live victoriously for His glory......

Now this doesn't mean that I think I can just sit back, eat whatever I want and one day my jeans will magically fit.  No!  What it means to me is that the Lord knows my hearts desire and He is perfecting that which concerns me.  My steps are ordered by the Lord because I am righteous in him.  That is the "thought of the day" for day 3.

So what does that mean?  It means a lot of things but 2 things specifically.  1.  It means I do get back up and dust the frosting off my face and continue on my sugar free path and 2.  I get my Chick on.....I play me a little Superchick.  I love all their songs but this one is the most fitting for today:

So all of us who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the Lord.  and the Lord-who is the Spirit-makes us more and more like him as we are changed into his glorious image.

Love, grace, and a Superchick day to you all-

Jen
