Being a diabetic is very difficult when you love/are addicted to the little box of sweet candy called DOTS.
I don't eat them often but if I give in...it's like a alcoholic...I cannot stop eating them. I love the texture, the flavor, and just looking at them makes me happy...those primary colors of red, green, orange, and yellow. YUMMY!!
At this point>>>> <<<< I had a picture to insert but after one hour I was only able to get a picture to (download or is it upload...it was a noload for me) of my chihuahua, Romeo. At this time in my life I am still computer handicaped but I can laugh at myself and have fun in the moment instead of frustration. I will eventually figure it out.
On this particular day I had one box of UNOPENED DOTS, AND I had been praying all day for GOD to take away my desire for DOTS. I had a feeling I had better come clean to GOD (even though he knows everything about me) and confess it all...was I sure...yes I had better renounce it all...snickers, baby ruth, laffy taffy, tootsie rolls, cherry slices, green slices, orange slices, butterfingers, almond joy, three musketeers, milkyway-sooooo light and fluffy, and DOTS. "YES LORD! I believe that is all in the candy family!"
I am on my way to becoming an overcomer by the word of my testimony.
I didn't notice until about 1800 that evening and I HEARD the DOTS calling my name, that the Dot box was in a strange but wonderful place. The Dots were on top of my bible...laying on the precious word, and on top of the box was the book, The Names of God, by Marilyn Hickey. I could see God...Dots...GOD...dots...which did I want more?
No. despite all these things, overwhelming VICTORY is ours through Christ, who loves us.
~ROMANS 8:37
JESUS IS THE ONE PERSON WHO WILL ALWAYS LOVE ME/YOU UNCONDITIONALLY...BUT IF I CONTINUE TO EAT THINGS THAT ARE BAD FOR ME...AS A DIABETIC ...I face kidney dialysis with a need for a kidney transplant, heart disease, amputation of limbs and blindness.
I THANK GOD FOR HIS GRACE AND MERCY AND I GAVE MYSELF AN EARLY CHRISTMAS PRESENT....
I CHOSE LIFE AND HONORING MY LORD AND SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST.
If you have something in your life, you would love to finally conquer, give it to God, knowing it has gotten too big for you to handle and he will walk beside you and help. You are already on your way to VICTORY.
