Gratitude

Focus

Posted on January 7, 2016

I can do all this through him who gives me strength. Philippians 4-13

F- Faith

O-Obedience

C-Called

U-Unique Gift from God

S-Servant

When we start a new year with a clean slate, we have to focus. One would tell you to focus on the outcome or the desired goal. But the best thing to focus on is God. When I was trying to lose weight and the focus was on the weight, not on God. The idol was food.

I had to renounce the idol of food and place food in its proper place. Instead of living to eat, I now eat to live. Everyday with Jesus is sweeter that the day before and with food in its proper place weight loss is possible.

Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. Hebrews 11:1

Beloved, what do you need to focus on with the Lord?

 

I am loved by God, the alpha, the omega, the beginning, the end. According to the Bible, I am fearfully and wonderfully made. I am a saint who sometimes sins. I believe that Jesus is God's son and that He died on the cross to give me eternal life. I am married to my high school sweet heart Doug. I have been blessed by two adult sons Randy and Dale, who are married and I have six grandchildren Christian, Seth, Ethan, Hunter, Sabrina and Emerson. I became a nurse as an adult. I have had an amazing career and give all the glory to God.
