New Beginnings

April 23rd, 2007

Welcome to The Dieter’s Notebook
Journal and devotions for dieters

Come join me as I travel along the road of dieting. I know this is going to be a long trip and at times we may feel we can’t go on, but I assure you that our Lord will be there to help us all along the way. I will share my triumphs and my defeats and hope that they encourage you as I journal my journey. Together with our Lord we can make it.

JOURNAL Notes: - New Beginnings

Once again I entered the Pilgrims Travel Agency.
Once again I was offered a Free trip. A trip that would lead me to freedom.
We will journey along a road to victory. Our adventure will lead us to many unknown territories and events.
The Oasis, Beautiful Mountains, Flowering Gardens, Refreshing Streams; but I know there will be many dangerous steep cliffs and dark valleys as well.
The terrain could be rough at times. Storms can rise up at any moment without warning.
I was told my tour Guide was waiting for me. He was the perfect One as He has led many to freedom on this trail many times.
As I waited for my tour Guide, I had a slight uneasy feeling in my heart. Will he remember me? Will he remember my failures?
Will he remember the last time, I signed up for this trip? Will he be mad that I didn’t continue?
I felt a little ashamed as I waited. I had such good intentions the last time.
As I sat with my head hung in shame and fear, I heard a voice softly say to me.
“I will not in anyway fail you nor give you up, nor leave you without support. I will not in any degree leave you helpless nor forsake you, nor let you down.
As I looked up I could see His eyes of love for me. I knew that I had nothing to fear. I knew that He wanted to guide me on this trip. He has been waiting for me to return and try again.
I was ready and eager to get started. I now have hope that I can make it this time with my Guide in front; leading me all the way.
I invite you to join me and journey along the road to victory in eating.
Together we can laugh at our mistakes, rejoice in our victories and cry at our defeats. Together we can journey, support and pray for one another.

DEVOTIONAL: NEW BEGINNING - (Genesis 1:1)
In the Beginning God…

From the beginning of time God created everything.
God is the creator of all new beginnings.
Everyday is the start of a new beginning. A new adventure, a new journey, along life’s road.
New beginnings are always hard, but with the Lords help we can make it.
He is our guide. He has a plan for our lives. Who the Lord has set free is free indeed.
As we journey together on the road to victory, with our Lord as guide, we can discover together the way to freedom.

PRAYER:
Lord I pray for my friends who are traveling the dieters journey with me. I pray for the freedom and the strength to start today a new beginning a new way of eating. Thank you Lord that you are the creator of new beginnings. Help us now as we travel this road and lead us to the freedom from the bondage of overeating that we so desire. Amen
