God Preparing the Way series .... #5

 And here I was thinking that #4 was the end of the series but here we are with and another installment. And this one is a big one. 

So, the last several years I have not gotten a birthday cake. It really made me sad the first several times that I did not get a birthday cake. There is also a really yummy green dessert that my grandma and mom used to make that I would love at my birthday as well. But sadly, I hadn't gotten any of it either. 

So fast forward to the present day and I am so thankful that it was already established that I did not get a birthday cake or green dessert- because I don't have to tell anyone please don't get me any cake since I don't eat that kind of thing anymore. And it won't be a big adjustment that I have to make when my birthday rolls around. 

I am still shooting to lose 56 pounds by my birthday - and right now(as of date of writing this post 7-23) I have 9 pounds to go and I have 17 weeks till my birthday. It is doable - for sure. 

This is where I will need some extra prayers though. For some reason I seem to come to a wall when I approach the 50 pound mark when losing weight. It's like my brain gets worried and tries to sabotage me at that point. But this time will be different. I will have to just keep at it. I have no intentions of leaving this healthier lifestyle. And I know that God said - I HAVE GIVEN you the VICTORY! And I am holding onto His promise. 

So just stick around because who knows.... there could be more things added to this list of how God prepared the way. :O) 

 Victory in Jesus Christ in 2025 and beyond!
