Day 14 - Finish the Work

"I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields!  They are ripe for harvest."  John 4:35B

Thought for the Day:  Food can fill my stomach but never my soul.

Lysa brought up something for us to remember:

"Food can fill our stomachs but never our souls.

Possessions can fill our houses but never our hearts.

Sex can fill our nights but never our hunger for love.

Children can fill our days but never our identities."

There have been some conversations in the past few days that have been stressful & frustrating.  I ate before they took place (I'm not skilled enough to do that on purpose, that's just how the timing worked out) and I noticed once I hung up that I wanted to eat.  I really had to sit there & think am I hungry or am I wanting comfort?  I was wanting comfort (rolling eyes at myself)!  I am thankful this time I can say that I took my frustrations to God & repeated Scripture & those cravings subsided!!!  Now I know that this is something I will continue to battle, and I will fail, but I hope to persevere.
