Hungry!

Woke up this morning and felt great! Not a hunger pang to be had, until about 3 this afternoon... I found myself rather hungry the rest of the day. I've eaten more today than I have since Sunday but I only ate until I was satisfied, no overeating. I'm hoping that since I finally got my medicine refilled that it will help to offset some of this hunger too. I'm still doing great on the shakes.

I've done an awful lot of praying and soul searching will reading the Purpose Driven Life. And the last few chapters have affected me in such a way that I'm truly digging deep and asking myself some pretty serious questions. God is good.

Looking forward to the weekend!

Thoughts on today:

PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE
God deserves your best.
Spiritual gifts and natural abilities are always confirmed by others.
The best way to discover your gifts and abilities is to experiment with different areas of service.
Don't try to figure out your gifts before volunteering to serve somewhere. Just start serving.
We rarely see God's good purpose in pain or failure or embarrassment while it is happening. Only in hindsight do we understand how God intended a problem for good.
Since God knows what's best for you, you should gratefully accept the way he has fashioned you. Instead of trying to reshape yourself to be like someone else, you should celebrate the shape God has given only to you.
Satan will try to steal the joy of service from you in a couple of ways: by tempting you to compare your  ministry with others, and by tempting you to conform your ministry to the expectation of others.
Fail to use what you've been given and you'll lose it. Use the ability you've got and God will increase it.
