Yesterday, I saw my doctor. He is a wonderful man and I have been seeing him for years and years and years. He seemed very concerned about my weight, and told me to exercise and come back in 6 weeks. He also took LOTS of blood to check for everything! I only went in for a med check, but I got a wake-up cal!! I don't know what the bloodwork will show, but it proabaly can't be good. Weighing 318.6 pounds is NOT GOOD!! (You know me...I love being honest.) So, today I start my comeback!
Let's look at a few people who have had huge comebacks in the Bible, so I can remind myself that there is hope!
Joseph....was sold into slavery....God made him the right-hand of the king and he was able to save his family from a famine.
Moses....he was a murderer...God chose him to lead the Israelites out of Egypt to the edge of the promised land.
Job....he lost everything....God restored everything.
Jonah....refused to obey God and was swallowed by a fish....God brought him out of the fish.
Peter....denied Christ 3 times at his crucifiction....God allowed Peter to be apart of Pentecost where the Holy Spririt was received.
Jesus....crucified on the cross....Jesus was resurrected!
God worked in all these people's lives to give them a comeback after huge setbacks!
So, what about little ol' me? Can I have a comeback? Of course!
Eventually, Jesus will come back to earth and take me with him to heaven...this will be the greatest comeback EVER for those who believe! WOW...what a day that will be! So, what about in the meantime? In the meantime, I am asking God to turn my setback into a comeback! It's going to be a slow and steady comeback. Some of the people I mentioned in the Bible didn't have a quick comeback! It took time!
So, today I went to the gym....it's a start! Stay tuned...for the comback!! I will rely on God the whole way....it's the only way that this comback will happen! (Prayers appriciated!!)
