Resurrection Power

Today is Easter Sunday, and I have so much to be thankful for.  Jesus loved me so much that He came to this earth and took my sin upon the cross.  I am free from bondage because of Him so why have I lived in bondage to food for so long?  God cares about EVERY aspect of my life...including what I eat and how I exercise. 

I have been a Christian for twelve years, and I guess it has taken me this long to get to this point.  That is okay.  God has been working in other areas of my life, and now, it is time to work on this area.  That is one of the cool things about Jesus.  He loves us too much to leave us where we are.  Growing in Him means constantly changing and striving to get better, being perfected by His love. 

Today reminded me that the same power that was able to resurrect Jesus from the grave is alive in me.  What awesome power that is!  Don't believe me?  Check it out:

If that isn't motivating, then I am not sure what else could! 



This week I am choosing to remember that this power is inside of me, and that I can use this power to help me when I am running or struggling with will power.  Thank you, Lord, for this beautiful reminder on Easter Sunday. 

Have a great and powerful week! 

P.S.  I lost 3.2 pounds this week!!
