DAY 4

Well... I am VERY proud of myself!! I went to a Holiday Boutique and there were LOADS of sweets & drinks that are NOT on my list!! I passed them all by with no thought!! I also had my first eating out experience with this program!! It was GREAT!! The Chef at Lure's Fish House in Camarillo was AMAZING!! He totally prepped my food how I asked and the portion that I asked!!
I am now waiting for my last 120 calories of the day to come out of the oven!! It's a Cinnamon Apple recipe that my nutritionist gave me!! They smell YUMMY!!!

I only got hungry one time today... around 4:00! I drank a bottle of water... and no more hunger!! So thankful that God is helping me with my fears!! Today in my devotional I read this: We can listen to the testimonies of other people and marvel at the work God is doing in their lives. We can hear uplifting music and great preaching and feel inspired to follow God more diligently. But soon after we walk out of church, we have trouble finding the time or making the effort to follow through.

James described such Christians as being like those who look in a mirror, see themselves, but do nothing to fix what is wrong (James 1:23-24). 23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; 24 for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.

They hear the Word, but it doesn’t lead to action. James says we need to do—not just hear.

When we move from the inspiration of simply “hearing” about the good being done by others to the perspiration of actually “doing” good works ourselves, the implanted Word of God (1:21) will bloom into a beautiful garden of spiritual fruit.

Every day the Bible seems to give me just what I need to get through the day!! Looking forward to all the new things He will teach me on the journey!!
