Three Years Ago...

Three years ago, I was a different person.

 

Three years ago, I was 50 pounds heavier.

 

Three years ago, my life changed.

 

Today marks the third anniversary since I started my weight loss journey. Sometimes I look in the mirror and can’t believe that, that is me. In my wildest dreams, I never thought I would be where I am today. God is so good!!

 

Speaking of the Lord, I wouldn’t be where I am today without Him. I’ve made many attempts at weight loss before but nothing ever seemed to click, until I became a believer of Christ. He is my refuge and strength (Psalm 46:1).

 

“For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength.”   ~ Philippians4:13

 

 

Last month I ran/walked my first half marathon, something I didn’t think I would ever do. While it wasn’t the best run, I learned a lot in the process and am so happy He blessed me with the strength and endurance to finish. If it had been left to my own will, I would have quit at mile 3. I was slightly dehydrated and dizzy, but the Lord pushed me forward.

 

“He alone is my rock and my salvation,
              my fortress where I will not be shaken.”  ~ Psalm 62:6

 

Three years ago, I started a journey that has changed so much in my life. I’m excited to see what is to come. Thanks for reading!
