{Made to Crave}

This past Monday we finished up our Made to Crave Bible Study.

  Remind me again why I did a Bible Study on food?

 No. . . I'm just joking. . . sorta.  

I like to think of myself as an encouraging person. . . but when the precious ladies started voicing their food issues. . .I didn't feel like a very good cheerleader (and I certainly don't look like one)!

  I do not binge or extremely over eat.

  Really I didn't feel like I had a "food issue" at all. . . until I started making the spiritual connection. 

(Yes you can think it. . .D-E-N-I-A-L. . . just don't say it).

So. . .  I found myself in that chapter. 

 Do I prayerfully consider everything I eat, and count the cost?

Do I crave God more than I crave food?  

Oh gee, I never thought of that. 

I just eat what I wanna.

Where I wanna.

How much I wanna.

Did I just say I didn't think I had a food problem? Bless my heart.

It is my hearts desire to pursue holiness.

What is the main ingredient a person needs in order to be successful in anyway? 

Discipline.

So, if I can discipline myself in all other aspects of my life, including my tongue, why should food be any different?

 I just NEVER thought of it. . . 

now to choose to pray instead of eating cupcake. . . I am not sure I am even there yet. . . but I am certain that "food discipline" is defiantly a key ingredient in my pursuit of being who God wants me to be.

See why this Bible Study was such a challenge?

Have you read this book?
