Poor eating habits are easy to make and hard to break.
God has protected me in the past. There is no doubt in my mind that God has been protecting me my whole life. The one thing that stands out the most is when I got pregnant at 17 years old. In just 10 months, I got pregnant, my Mom died, I turned 18, my Dad died (six weeks after Mom died), I got married, I graduated from high school, I had my baby, I moved to MN. Being pregnant and in high school, living in CA without any parents, who knows what might have happened to me? God knew and he protected me. I have always believed that getting pregnant saved me. Strange, I know. But it made me make wiser choices and think about something else besides myself. My fun wasn't over, but I was much more responsible. After all, losing my parents made me realize that my son needed his parents. I had to grow up fast.
I also recall one answered prayer not too many years ago when I prayed for my son's safety. I pray for all my family and their health and safety, but this was specific, not general and God answered my prayer. Most of my prayers are not answered immediately, but they have been heard, not always answered with what I wanted, but with what God knew I needed - and when I needed it.
The point of these two stories is that they span more than 40 years and they're proof to me that God is everywhere, knows everything and is always with us.
I'm trusting Him to help me on this journey, especially when it's hard - that's when I need Him most. I've proven that I can't do it alone.
