Food has become a different commodity to me. Food used to be another god that would fulfill some odd emotional need in time of crisis. Buffets were my church and getting the most food at the smallest price used to be my worship. In short, I was using food for a purpose it wasn't designed. Don't get me wrong. I still like to eat. The reasons have been tempered.
Now, food is a means of energy. I do my best to eat foods that won't slow me down. Cutting out white bread has been a saving grace with me. I only eat the dense stuff with grains now. I eat less candy, again only every once in a while, and more fruit. I no longer crave sweets like I used to. Vegetables of every kind were a burden to me but now they have became that which makes me feel full. I can now reach the middle of the day and not be tired. Part of that is the weight loss and part of that is the stewardship of what goes in my mouth.
Being able to be fit for kingdom work has now become my reason. And to think, food, and its proper use, is part of God's will for our life.
Remember, October 30 is getting closer.
