Determined

11/25/15

S: “But Daniel was determined not to defile himself by eating the food and wine given to them by the king. He asked the chief of staff for permission not to eat these unacceptable foods.” Daniel 1:8 NLT

““Please test us for ten days on a diet of vegetables and water,” Daniel said. “At the end of the ten days, see how we look compared to the other young men who are eating the king’s food. Then make your decision in light of what you see.”

At the end of the ten days, Daniel and his three friends looked healthier and better nourished than the young men who had been eating the food assigned by the king.” Daniel 1:12-13, 15 NLT

“Finally, all of you should be of one mind. Sympathize with each other. Love each other as brothers and sisters. Be tenderhearted, and keep a humble attitude. Don’t repay evil for evil. Don’t retaliate with insults when people insult you. Instead, pay them back with a blessing. That is what God has called you to do, and he will grant you his blessing.”

1 Peter 3:8-9 NLT

“Remember, it is better to suffer for doing good, if that is what God wants, than to suffer for doing wrong!” 1 Peter 3:17 NLT

“My suffering was good for me, for it taught me to pay attention to your decrees. Your instructions are more valuable to me than millions in gold and silver. You made me; you created me. Now give me the sense to follow your commands.” Psalms 119:71-73 NLT

O: I am 254 pounds. I have been slamming down undefiled food instead of being determined to eat healthier. I don't need permission to not eat unhealthy, it's truly a matter of life and death. Not just for Kamea's mom, but also for Kamea. For ten days, let's reset my taste buds and learn to eat and cook healthier food.i need to start with water. For right now, just finish one bottle. In ten days, take it up. This journey is about consistency and health. It's time for a healthier and better nourished lifestyle. 

A: This includes being on the same page with God. Maybe then I'll have a little sympathy for myself and love myself enough to take care of me. I need to be sensitive and have a humble attitude in loving me. Therefore, when someone does something to me my first response isn't to retaliate. Going deeper into Jesus will lead to blessing. It is who I am called to be, and I will be a blessing.

P: Oh Heavenly Father, holy is your name. You are the coming Messiah I long to worship you!!!! Oh Jesus son of God have mercy on me. I want to be real, I want to be empty inside to lay down my life like Daniel. To be healthy in Breyer nourished, in body and within my relationships. What do you want me to do? Who am I to be? Am I to suffer in doing good or suffer in doing wrong? Do I move to Denver to a place of unknown with no support or do I stay because of the support I do have? If you have already shown me please tell me more clearly. If not, please tell me as clear as day without confusion. Or maybe the question is am I too remain married? If so guide our hearts back to you. You know my desires. What am I willing to suffer for? I need to know your purpose not everyone's opinions. You made me, your created me, you know me. Tell me what is best for me. Reveal your right path for my life and give me the sense to follow. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
