Today at church the pastor spoke on being thankful. Not just thankful in words but having a thankful and grateful heart. It reminded me that I am not always thankful. Actually lately I have been very ungrateful. There are so many things around me to be thankful for. As I start my new eating journey I need to first remember to be thankful to God for creating me. The bible tells me that he knew me before I was born....he had the plan all layed out. I am thankful that I have my health. Yes, I am obese. Yes, I suffer from depression. Yes, I have high blood pressure. But I am so blessed. Right now I thank God for all of these things. He is in control and I had forgotten that. I need to constantly remind myself that I am not alone in all this.
Today we sang a song that just touched me deeply. We have sung it a lot but today it sounded different. It rang in my ears in a way it never had before. It is called Through It All. I had lost touch with this. It talks of His faithfulness to me...to us. Even in times of hardship, He is faithful, He is right there walking besides us.
I will be calling on God's strength. Not just as I work to make the temple he has given me healthier but in other areas of my life. I will thank Him for the good times and the bad.
Here are the words to the song we sang today. I am not preaching. This is for me. And for anyone else it might touch. Also, if anyone is interested, I also put a youtube link of Hillsong performing it after the lyrics.
You Are Forever in My Life
You See Me Through the Seasons
Cover Me With Your Hand
And Lead Me in Your Righteousness
And I Look to You
And I Wait On You
I'll Sing to You Lord
A Hymn of Love
For Your Faithfulness to Me
I'm Carried in Everlasting Arms
You'll Never Let Me Go
Through It All
You Are Forever in My Life
You See Me Through the Seasons
Cover Me With Your Hand
And Lead Me in Your Righteousness
And I Look to You
And I Wait On You
I'll Sing to You Lord
A Hymn of Love
For Your Faithfulness to Me
I'm Carried in Everlasting Arms
You'll Never Let Me Go
I'll Sing to You Lord
A Hymn of Love
For Your Faithfulness to Me
I'm Carried in Everlasting Arms
You'll Never Let Me Go
Through It All
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
I'll Sing to You Lord
A Hymn of Love
For Your Faithfulness to Me
I'm Carried in Everlasting Arms
You'll Never Let Me Go Through It All
