Susan's Story

When I rejoined Grace and Strength Lifestyle it was my second time around. I lost 50 pounds the first time and like so many of us I thought I could manage it myself. I found myself eating past my personal boundaries and that vicious cycle started again. I would beg God to forgive me but instead of stopping the overeating I just kept on sinning. I rejoined Grace and Strength Lifestyle to help me gain control.

What God Showed me this time is that He has given me everything I need to be successful. I just need to listen and obey His voice. We make this so hard on ourselves by not giving ourselves grace. When we hear that voice condemning us we need to realize that is not God. He does not condemn us but with love and gentleness will show us the way we should go. We just need to trust Him and of course obey. We reap what we sow. When we sow to the flesh we are going to gain weight and sin against God,but when we sow to the spirit of God we will find strength and peace.

One thing I know is that we all must keep on keeping on till the end. I realize that I need to remember that with God's help I can walk in freedom. He is my strength and He will help me stay the course.
