Stay On the Path part 2

At the beginning of 2024 I joined a small group at my church. We read through the book "The 40 Day Sugar Fast." I did really well the first month at sticking with it and losing weight. I was thrilled because I really wanted to lose weight. 

Towards the end of February, I got the news that my Dad had been diagnosed with Alzheimer's. This news paired with the knowledge I had already that his mother had also had Alzheimer's and my grandfather having had dementia, threw me for a loop. And yes, it knocked me off my path.

I did make it through the 40-day challenge with following the guidelines I had set for myself. This is how it works- you decided how strict you want to be. I choose to allow fruit because God created and intended that we eat fruit. There is a lot of nutrional value in fruits. But I was no longer losing weight. 

 

In life there will be many things and temptation that will come and try to know us off our path. And if we are on the path that God led us to, we should keep seeking His guidance and ask for His help to stay on course. It's the best place to be! 

Let's be like Paul and stick to the path God put us on!
