I can't serve 2 masters...
Today went well till the time I got off work. Although, all throughout the day my stomach was telling me it was mad at me for eating all that cereal I ate yesterday. It has been so long since I ate cereal and grains and body was cleansed from it and once I reintroduced it to my body, it didn't react well because I wasn't used to it because it is not something my body needs.
I got off at 5 but I was talking to an assistant till about 6. I don't have to work till 2 the next day. I had plans to go have a good workout , take care of some errands and spend some quality time with God. Lets just say it is almost 11 pm and I have wasted most of the free time that I was blessed with. Before I got home, I went and got a smoothie from Java Juice. Not a bad choice but not something I should have gotten because it just opened the door to the devil and started the vicious cycle of overeating again for me today. Along with the smoothie, I also ate a cheese jalapeno roll from there too. Then I decided I was going feed my fleshly desires and go eat Mexican food. I stuffed my self with an enchilada dinner and then I went to McD's to get a strawberry flurry. After that I went and ate a grab bag of cheetos. I made myself go home after that and denied myself anymore food. And to think, I was doing so good in eating the way God wants me to eat.
The whole time today Jesus was reminding me that nothing in this world is ever going to satisfy me like he can and it doesn't matter how much I eat or what I eat, i'm not going to be satisfied. God's grace is the only thing that saves and restores my sinful soul. I have hope because it's a new day tomorrow. I just pray God grants me another day and chance...
