We Can't Solely Wait Around For God To Carry out For Us, We Have To Complete For Ourselves and Christian Family Values

The other day a very prized friend of mine contacted concerning her daughter and her weight. All her life, this young woman has gone on those outlandish diet programs where you lose all that weight and afterward a month shortly, its all back on with additional filling, and after that she gets stressed out and just gives up wholly saying "I presume it really is God's desire that I'm fat."
Now I comprehend concerning weight (I've got a few additional pounds to keep me going in the winter), but like so many things in life, when the going gets difficult, lots of just give up rather than pushing ahead and overcoming those obstacles. It reminds me so much of that portrait my mama always had on her wall "Footprints". Now for you younger folk, it just means that when we're going through those real hard times, it feels like no one's there to support us and we tend to look to God thinking he'll simply magically fly down in and resolve every one of our troubles for us.

Well it just does not work that way. God is continuously there with us, giving us someone to pray to and talk to and give us ease. When we're in our lowest moments, most times we tend to just wind up feeling forlorn for ourselves and even when relatives present us the best advice in love, we just do not plain listen. It is through these times, God is giving us advice, but it's up to us to take and make it work for us or just stay stubborn and not do anything.
Now back to this young female, she thought possibly it was a thyroid problem, but after going to the md, that wasn't it. One point in time when I was visiting, she was chatting about how she'd never find a good quality Religious male if she did not lose weight and so on. I asked her if she had thought about going to a sports center, and to my shock, she had been a member of a very upmarket sports center for just about 3 years! Now don't that take all!
Well my friends, this tale just gets a little more goofier. When I asked her why she was spending so much for a fitness center membership that she wasn't using, she just said that it was like pampering herself following working out. I'm sure many of you are thinking exactly what I was thinking at the time, "Well then, why aren't you using it?"

She explained that the sports center was a 10 to 15 minute drive away, and she was having a really hard time motivating herself to get in the car and go. Now, we've all had those days where getting ourselves motivated is not the simplest of things to do. Now this young lady is only 30, and I'm surprised at this younger age bracket that appears like they get bushed by just getting out of bed and eating last night's cold pizza. Now my cherished friend shared with me just this morning that her daughter had dropped her gymnasium membership and had obtained one of those fancy leisure center treadmills so that she'd have no explanation not to work out now since it was only 10 feet away from her. I called the young woman and congratulated her for taking some initiative, and you know what she said?

She said she still was having difficulty getting motivated to get on that treadmill, and that it must just be God's way for her to be overweight.
Now as all us good Christians know, it can be real hard to bite our tongue, but I just could not believe what I was hearing. Yet again, I identify with about feeling down and stressed out as I went though that a few times in my life, but we can't just keep waiting for God to come swoop in and do everything for us. That's just not how it works. It didn't work for that Microsoft man or the man that created that cute little ipod thingies. They had to bust their butts to make something work for them, and that's a big lesson for all of us. We have to sometimes get our hands dirty to get what we want in life, including having good Christian family values. It's so easy to have excuses for not following the Lord's way, but at the end of the day, we still have to look at ourselves in the mirror and ask, "Did I really put my all into it."
