Found on Linda Morrow’s FB page.

     This was the theme at University Church of Christ in Shreveport a few years ago. I think maybe the idea was that we don’t always grasp all the blessings and gifts that God has for us because we settle for less. 

     I think this has entered my thought process as I work towards a healthier spirit, mind and body. As I journey towards learning submissiveness through perseverance and trust, He will make me more complete. 

James 1:2-4  Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. 

     I hope I’m not taking this out of context. Losing weight is a good side effect. Learning to trust my Lord and learning to lean on Him is so much more. The fasting is leveling up my Bible reading. It’s getting deeper, clearer, and dearer. It’s More.
