Eating my Feelings

Just a girl over here trying not to eat her feelings.


Our Saturday came with a huge pivot. 

Due to what we will refer to as “the cooties” invading our home,

we were frozen in place this morning instead of heading off to Florida.  


Plans were canceled. 

Hearts were saddened. 

The beach and Hogwarts would not be a part of this week.


After I walked through the steps with our TA on rebooking our theme park tickets;

I refocused on work, went on a walk, grabbed my Target Pick up and

then ended up in front of my favorite pizza joint.  


The broken girl inside of me knew what would feel good.  

The broken girl that loves control and predictability

wanted to find happiness and satisfaction.  

The broken girl only knows food soothes.  


The healed girl I have become knew what was coming.  

The healed girl took charge and allowed me

to eat a smaller portion of my favorite comfort food.  

The healed girl wasn’t going to eat her feelings


This is huge for me. 

From the broken girl who could finish off a whole pizza on her own without blinking an eye

to a girl who can enjoy it in moderation and listen to her body. 

The inward battle still happens as my broken girl rises up in moments of emotion.  


I have become self aware enough to know that food can’t heal me. 

Food can’t fix me. 

Food can’t mend my broken parts. 

I am not who I used to be! 

And I have God to thank for that!

Friendships can enrich your life

Good friends are good for your soul.  Friends celebrate you.  Friends cry with you.  Friends also help encourage and support you through the seasons of parenthood or marriage.  The enjoyment and comfort found in the presence of a good friend makes the investment worth it.  It's quality; not quantity that matters.   But.....is friendship a priority to you?  I think alot of us would say that it is not.  Maybe we feel we don't have time for it.  Maybe we don't feel we have the emotional space for it.  Or maybe we feel like it's so hard to meet other moms when we are home raising kids and seriously feeding them all day long! I feel ya! Friendships can play a major part on your own health and well being.  But it's not easy to develop or maintain friendships.  Especially as we pursue a career, raise a family and pour into our marriage; our friendships take a back seat to this season in our life.  Friendships do take effort ...

Discernment

  2 Timothy 1:7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but one of power, love, and sound judgment.       This has been my verse of the week.  It was a much needed verse for this week!  2023 has ended up to be a year of pivoting!  We have had plans change.  We have had shifts happening.  We have had new things transpire.  A new normal forming.       Self doubt crept in with those changes.  As Christians, we have the power and love to battle this with discernment.  With Sound Judgment.       What does that look like though....     When we know and believe Psalm 23 that the Lord is my shepherd, then we look to Him for guidance.  For Him to continually lead us.  And we will heed to His leading.  We pray for discernment to know His voice over all others.  We can praise Him for the mighty and good shepherd that He is.  And we will dig in and know Him ...
