ON THE ROAD TO NEW LIFE!

"We were therefore buried with Him through baptism into death

in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead

 through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life."

Romans 6:4

I literally get on the road to New Life every day...

"Walk by faith, not by sight."

"In all your ways, acknowledge Him (the Lord your God) and He will direct your paths."

A gal on the radio was giving her testimony of being overweight all her life and trying to lose weight for boys, or cheerleading, for herself and never being able to keep it off...but she never had asked The Lord to help her to do it for Him!  She has lost 80 lbs.  She weighed 282! 

This hit me so targeted on my own battle with losing and keeping off pounds and giving God glory in it.

I have just taken a bold stand for my Lord and challenging myself to eat a plant-based diet like Daniel did to show that this is the way God designed our bodies and created for food and medicine.  I totally enjoyed doing this unto my Lord and boldly acknowledging Him and His Word to doctors who are Christians but believe that man's medicine is the only and best way to treat many diseases and sickness...in my case, the heart! 

Today on the way to New Life Baptist Church, where I work,  I realized this girl is so right.  I must continue to eat according to HIS WORD and boldly acknowledge The Creator with my body that is His Holy Place...so that He would be delighted and glorified.  My desire should be to eat, exercise, work, teach, influence and live to delight my Lord and Creator...Almighty God!  To become a Peculiar Pattern that others will want to follow as I follow His Pattern...every day on the road to "new life!"

"...so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus..."  Acts 20:24

JOY is the flag that is flown when The Master is at home! ~Ruth Harms Calkin
