Encouragement

Tonight I had dinner with one of my favorite people. I love her to death and unfortunately just don't get to see enough of her. She started a new job at a Christian company in which they have to go to Bible Study. I am so encouraged by the transformation I see in her. Not physically but emotionally. She's never been particularly religious or spiritual. I am so proud of her for being so open to God's love. It's amazing how he works and I see the light that's slowly coming out from within and I am so relieved. She's going through some challenges in life and now she's found through faith a partner to help her through everything. While I was talking to her I realized that my own faith has been lacking and that I have been trying to make and do all of these challenges on my own. That could be why it's been such a struggle. Everyone needs help and I am not impervious to this. You don't have to believe in one specific God to have faith and everyone believes in something. I am by by faith a Christian and I think over the past couple of years I have forgotten where my faith lies. So far I have lost 8 lbs. But it's been a struggle. Somehow I thought once I made my mind up to do this it would all just come very easily. Turns out I was wrong. I have lost a little faith in my abilities and my will power but after tonight my faith has been renewed. I am now encouraged and tomorrow beings a new day fresh with my new perspective.
