'A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ
That a man should have to seek Him first to find her.'
When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not shouting 'I'm clean living,'
I'm whispering 'I was lost, Now I'm found and forgiven.'
When I say... 'I am a Christian' I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.
When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.
When I say.. 'I am a Christian' I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.
When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible, but God believes I am worth it.
When I say... 'I am a Christian' I still feel the sting of pain...
I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name.
When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner Who received God's good grace, somehow!
This was given to me for the third time in just a few weeks.
Zephaniah 3:17 NLT
"For the LORD your God has arrived to live among you. He is a mighty savior. He will rejoice over you with great gladness. With his love, he will calm all your fears. He will exult over you by singing a happy song."
What warm hearts you all offer
Thank you all for the kindness you have shown me with every Award. I am embraced. You Are a blessing.

That's okay Donetta! You'll get em next time!
Did I tell you that I joined in on this adventure too? I am determined, and hoping to be your weight at least by next summer!
I am proud of you sis, hang in there.
All right, you're on!! I'm finding this challenge thing to be a great tool for myself. I hope it will work that way for you too!! You've made excellent progress -- here's to a great weigh-in next Wednesday!!
You are doing fantastic!! It is so easy to neglect ourselves when we are tired and busy.
Many blessings dear friend!
Way to go ! I am also in the fray.No comfort snacking for me.
That's not bad for eating candy all week! If I eat sugar I gain a lot more!
You hang in there! We all have those gains!
I think you are doing a great job, candy would have cost me 3 pounds!It will be gone by next week!
Still have a net loss, so here's to a big loss next week! Grab fruit this week instead of candy. Fruit is God's candy in nature. ;-) Thanks for visiting me, too!
Path to Health
Don't worry about the gain, it happens sometimes! Good luck this week!
