Is there a miracle for me?

I have missed you my booboos soo much! Only a weekend off, and my mail box and blackberry flooded with enquiries as to why there was no write up last weekend. To be honest, I feel humbled with the 'harassment'. Stress and asthma attack your FADA!(excuse my french ;D) Imagine! I haven't had an attack in years! So in summary the doctor said it was stress induced ( I am sure more from traffic, as I'm on the road a lot, and the annoying road marshals), and banned my Ipad and laptop! To be honest though, with the support of my beautiful and caring clients, I could rest and reflect and even start planning the next big thing - F.i.t.T.r.i.x deli.......(watch this space :D)

The other day I noticed on my blackberry a friend put up as her PM..(paraphrased) Dear Pastor Chris, I want to still be able to eat bread and mayonnaise and hot dog everyday and still remain a size 12, is there a miracle for me? I responded on a light note....."none o". And immediately this my usually cheery and easy going friend became pretty defensive;

Friend: It's a lie! God can do all things. Stop limiting Him. Why are all of u contradicting urselves. U believe God for some n not for some. Hian!

Me: (laughing my wits end) He is a God of what you sow and reap........honey it's cause and effect. Instead I am realistic and practical and ask for grace and wisdom to eat right.

Friend: Nope! God made us to enjoy ALL. Not to eat dry food in the name of weight loss. But nnem you will never agree with me on this one.

Omoh laugh nearly wound me ooooo.....I can go on but I am sure you get the picture abi?

But in her defense I feel her frustrations wella! Imagine having been the toast of the town, fit and very hoooot and because you have now decided to love a man, marry him and have his children, then your whole life feels like its been toppled over!

The truth and nothing but the truth is the Bible or Quran can be quoted to suit us as we please but we need to understand that this same God has given us the power of choices! If we should choose to go down the religious route, I can say that if you eat anyhow and a lot then you are a equal to a drunkard! Please check out proverbs 23v21.....and see what can happen. (No be me talk am oooo....hian!). So I would rather hold on to being in the dispensation of GRACE, where I can ask the Supreme being for wisdom and grace in All things including weight loss matters. During my weight loss journey, and even my everyday life, it's a constant part of my existence to continually ask for grace etc.

So to save us all the heart ache, let's have a more practical approach to this weight management palaver, God made us ALL things to enjoy, but not at a sitting and also in appropriate proportions. Due to the fact that we might have been careless over the years and we have accumulated a lot of weight, we definitely need to change whatever routine that has put us in that "mess".....and very FAST too! So if its the constant bread, mayonnaise and hotdogs...then we definitely need to go back to the drawing board.

I feel like a pastor/a lecturer today (I guess all the reflecting has brought out my more serious sides :P).....but we need these jolting reminders from time to time!

In the words of Phillip Pullman
"You cannot change what you are, only what you do" In the words of Steve Maraboli
"It is up to you today to start making healthier choices. Not choices that are just healthy for your body, but healthy for your mind"

"You can't just wish change, you have to live the change in order for it to become a reality"

Once your mindset changes, everything on the outside will change along with it"

In the words of Albert Einstein
"Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results" - I am just feeling this one dieee!

In the words of Ebunoluwa Akinwale
"Change only comes to those that desire it.......and also act on that desire......consistently"

We ended that bb conversation on a light note....became "friends" again....agreeing to disagree. And to her claim at how making that change is tough and how she used to be the "workout fanatic" but now the "curvy mama"..."Its soooo annoying"....I responded..."Na mind over matter with God's Grace"!

And yes in my opinion there are miracles......the miracle of freewill....the miracle of choices....the miracle of Grace!
