Learning something...


I was on my way to Metro today (let's give a shout out to T-fab and Dean - great Praise & Worship today), I always go down Fort Street, turn right on Gibralter Road... and on my merry way... except today. I got right on the freeway and got off at Jim & Tonya's exit. DUH! So I decided to just take Huron River to Telegraph... it was GORGEOUS! If you are thinking about going up north for a fall color tour, save your gas money and just head down to Huron River Drive. I think I was meant to go that way today. Wish I had my camera with me though...

I will be honest, I went to Metro because I need to talk to a friend about a battle he has and today was about addictions... So I thought Jeremy might have some words I can use. What does it say in the bible about that whole splinter/plank thing?? Oh yeah... so I realized that plank sticking out of my own eye, the addiction of food. And how I use that addiction in my life as a crutch. I was glad I went.

Something else I struggle with? I really think that Metro should be my home church. I really do, but I struggle because what if the people at my now home church don't talk to me anymore. Changing churches means I have to give up my "youth leader" roll at my current church. I don't know if I am ready to do that.

I have a lot of praying to do. I am looking for an accountability partner for my food addiction in case Tonya really doesn't want to do it. I need help. I hate that I am this large, this fat. I am going to do what I can do. But I need help. Seriously.

2 Peter 2:19 They promise them freedom, while they themselves are slaves of depravity—for a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him.

Most awesome scripture today...we are all slaves to what ever masters us. Seems to be a theme going on with people everywhere..this food addiction thing. We need to keep stomping it, me included ~ ALOT!
