Feeding My Spirit
Three days have passed since my last post. Two of the days were busy with appointments, commitments and necessary tasks. And those two days sandwiched a third, a day where I just felt defiant and I regressed almost to the point of hosting a pity party. I dug my feet in and was stubborn.
Fortunately, I have continued to eat healthy. But I am so much more than what I eat. My body, my being, my soul need so much more than food. Yes, I need nourishing food, I need lots of water, I need physical activity, but I also need to feed and nourish my spirit.
My faith has been my foundation and my salvation through every trial I have ever faced and overcome. I’ve noticed a strong parallel between the strength of my faith walk and the strength and success of my physical walk.
The last three days there was no time spent in my devotional, Scripture or deep prayer. It’s as though I set off on a journey without putting shoes on. I was ill prepared and certainly didn’t get far. I had no focused direction and I feel as though I was blown here and there by the winds of circumstance.
I also did not write. This blog / journey has become my daily affirmation, my own personal pep talk. Through this process I take an honest self inventory, I face my truths and I plan my attack. I have a goal of a healthier, vital life more fully lived. I have a path but I must deliberately walk towards this destination very deliberately each and every day. I don’t want to waste any more time. I am worthy of the effort.
So today, I have read my devotional, I have spent time in Holy Scripture and I have prayed. And I have had this little conversation / pep talk with myself.
My shoes are on!
