Whatever you Need, God’s Got it
Have you ever faced a situation and didn't know what to do about it? I know I have! But the good news is, God gives us answers when we pray. And many times, God will give answers to needs we don't even know we have. I can testify to that. Back in 2001, I attended a Christian women's conference only to support a friend going through a tough time. I didn't want to be there. Little did I know God had other plans for me! You see, I was raised by a single mother. I never knew the love, protection, and security of having ...
In 2012: The-Lord-Will-Provide
Happy (early) New Year! This year, I challenge you to experience God personally as a Provider - in your daily life. What do I mean? Many Christians (and I was one of them), experience weak, depressed, fear-filled, and defeated lives because they try to keep God on a shelf. They only take Him down on Sunday at church, if even then! But after the worship service is over, they put Him back on the shelf where He remains Monday-Saturday. So their minds remain unrenewed to God's victorious way of thinking, their hearts remain unchanged to God's desires for them, and they continue acting ...
The Secret Weapon to Overcoming Temptation
In the "Get Out of My Sight - Temptation!" article, you learned how I dealt with two food temptations recently. But just this morning, I rediscovered an even more powerful weapon to handle temptation. This weapon is so important that Jesus himself commanded it. It lines up with one of my favorite sayings from the martial arts: "The best way to win a fight is to avoid getting into one in the first place." See if you can spot the weapon from the wise words of Jesus: Jesus prayed: "...And do not lead us into temptation, But deliver us from the evil one (Luke 11:4)" Luke ...
Get Out of My Sight – Temptation!
With the holidays come great food temptations. How can you win? I'll show you. I faced two temptations this week. Both start with the letter 'P': Pies and Party. And both temptations came from my husband, Mike. With the first one, Mike baked three delicious-looking sweet potato pies, leaving them out on the kitchen counter to cool. The second was at our community holiday party. I had decided in advance how much I was going to eat and made sure that I did not go to the party hungry. So far, so good. After we finished eating the main meal, Mike returned to the dessert buffet. Another couple ...

“When you change how you look at things, the things you look at will change.” Isn’t that a great quote? I read it the other day. How I look at maintaining a healthy lifestyle has changed in the last couple of weeks. I’ve been studying up on the brain neurotransmitter Dopamine and realize it can be a powerful ally to encourage... [Read more of this article]
A Krispy Kreme Cheeseburger???
Let’s file this one under the “What will they think of next” category! I read today that an item known as ‘The Krispy Kreme Cheeseburger’ was introduced at the Wisconsin State Fair this year. It was a big hit. A chef right here in Georgia came up with the idea of a cheeseburger on a doughnut. Why am I not surprised? Critics... [Read more of this article]
I’ve written many times about overcoming binge eating disorders since that was my struggle for many years. Lately God has led me to look at the physical part of that issue more – from a “fight fire with fire” approach. Just the other day a question popped into my head: “Why do people eat?” My first thought was to... [Read more of this article]
Eating to Burn Belly Fat
I read a shocking statistic the other day about belly fat. It said that stroke risk is 4 times higher in women whose waists were larger than 35 inches and men whose waists were larger than 40 inches than those with normal waists. This is personal for me because my grandmother died of a stroke when she was only 47 years old. And in my “before”... [Read more of this article]
If I had to give one piece of advice about eating, Christian weight loss, and health, it would be this: “Fruit for food, leaves for medicine.” Where does this prescription come from? It comes from Ezekiel 47:12: “Along the bank of the river, on this side and that, will grow all kinds of trees used for food; their leaves will not wither,... [Read more of this article]
“I Hate to Exercise!”
Have you said or thought “I hate to exercise”? It’s a common barrier to Christian weight loss and getting healthy. We all know exercise is good for you but few do it regularly. But I’ve got a reason for this and I’ll guarantee it is not what you think. Pretend for a second that someone gives you a high performance race... [Read more of this article]
Eat Fat, Get Slim
Just the other day, I read a shocking article in the September 2009 issue of Prevention Magazine called “The Vanishing Youth Nutrient” (I included a link to it at the end of this article). The article outlined how the lack of Omega 3 fats in your diet can make you gain weight and may be behind some diseases like heart disease, diabetes,... [Read more of this article]
