Happy New Year!

2011!

Amazing and awesome that the Lord has seen fit to bring me to this point in life.

Well, as I look back on the beginning of last year, I see that once again I let life get in the way of accomplishing what I know to be of great importance. My health! Physically and spiritually!
Here I am at my heaviest and struggling with depression and anxiety like never before. Getting this weight under control will be a BIG help but I know from before when I lost it that it doesn't solve all of your problems. There is a much deeper issue that I've yet to uncover.
The only one who can hold you back from achieving your dreams is yourself, right?

Here I am again Lord! Without You I am nothing and I need Your strength, grace, and mercy to be the person You have created me to be. You know my hearts desire to truly know You and serve You. You said in Your Word that if I seek You I will find You if I search for You with all of my heart. Lord, I'm searching. Please remove any obstacles that are in the way of my finding Your Truth for my life. Amen.

Since becoming a member of the Facebook community I have made many new friends of various beliefs and this has caused me to question my own. Sometimes it is a good thing to be challenged to grow in your faith but the Word also warns about being deceived and tossed about by every wind of teaching. That is what I don't want and that is where I am uncertain. All I want is to please the Lord and learn and grow into the person He would have me to be! I have learned to compare everything to Scripture yet I've also learned that even the Scriptures can be misinterpreted and that what we have today is not what the early church had for their Scriptures.
So, having said all of that, I'm off to find the Truth.

Please keep me in your prayers!
