Snickers Satisfies?

I had an extremely frustrating day today...alright that's an exaggeration. I actually had a productive and overall good day, but I let the actions of another person ruin my mood. So when I was out shopping buying household items, I caved and bought a snickers bar. I thought that it would make my mood better, it even says on the wrapper snickers satisfies. What exactly is it suppose to satisfy? Because it didn't put me in a better mood nor did it fill me up. To be honest, it didn't even taste that great.

It was just another reminder that I need to re-focus and center my actions on God. I have been struggling the past couple of weeks with food choices and my friend reminded me that I need to re-focus and I know that if I focus on God, I do so much better. Not only in eating, but in all aspects of my life. She is not a Christian, and can see a difference in me when I have Jesus at the center of my life.

It's so easy for me to forget this and just do my own thing. Funny how the sermons lately have been about God having a plan for my life, trusting in Him and being patient. As it turns out, those messages are very timely for me and I should remember them.



I am going on a family vacation in 5 weeks, so for the next 5 weeks I am going to commit. I am going to re-read Made to Crave, do the daily devotional every morning, track all of my food, work out 6 times a week, drink plenty of water, and spend a lot of time praying (for strength to resist temptation, and strength to get through my workouts). Most importantly, I am going to remember that Jesus is the only thing that can satisfy.
