God at work

I sit here after just reading pastor james macdonald's blog about weightloss and his temptation for sweets and i have so many emotions about it. I am relieved that a "Godly" man suffers from the same disease that i do. I feel guilty because I sat reading his blog while eating a bowl of ice cream. I felt satisfied because it was so good. I felt ashamed because i have gone for almost 2 weeks with no sweets and then when the in-laws come to town, i just let all my reserve fly out the window. And i feel convicted because i know where the answer is and i just am too stubborn to go there. I have not been in the Word lately and am about 1 1/2 weeks behind in my 5X5X5 reading. I have sat on the couch and done not so much! I look back on my life and think of times when i have shown determination and perserverance and i can't really recall a whole lot. It seems that i always give in, so now i guess it's time to do a lot of soul searching because i always give in for a reason and it's time to figure out exactly what that reason is. So i will keep everyone updated about that.
My in-laws have been staying with us for the last 3 nights. It has been a great time, don't get me wrong, but there are just some things you cannot do in your own home when guests are there. I am excited though because they are going back home to alabama on thursday, but then in about 4 weeks they are moving back up here for 7 years! I really got the best in-laws a girl could ask for. My brother-in-law and his wife and their 2 kids came down yesterday and spent about 12 hours here! That really shocked me because they usually don't stay that long. I know most people reading this do not know them, but pray for them...for their marriage to grow in Christ and stay strong. It made me so happy to see them like they were yesterday, and their babies are just the cutest things in the world. The oldest girl and Sesleigh played so well together! The day was just awesome.
I thank God for all the blessings and know and have seen Him work in this life. I just don't understand anyone could not know Him. He is so great and awesome and fulfilling that I want everyone to know where the Truth is!
