My GOD is it Friday already! ? ! Jennifer, your last post really struck a chord with me and the profound meaning of Embody. Here's the first two that Merriam-Webster had to say: 1. To give a body to 2a. To deprive spiritually ****** b. to make concrete and perceptible I was talking to Jennifer about the book "Made to Crave" by Lysa Turkerst, and I haven't made time to read it yet. The review on it discusses the void that incomplete spirtuality has on your life and how we crave things to fill the void--- food, clothing, sex, cigarettes, alcohol.... I want to start reading and ponder more; I will share my findings. Hang in there Jennifer, I know the shoes you're standing in; I know the frustration that causes that slip backwards. Hang onto your post-it, I think this may be revalation worthy! She's too right with the things that you miss out on when you're overweight. I just think about how my kids will have very few pictures with their Mommy when they were babies because of my unwillingness to face the truth of the camera. Its makes me sad. They do deserve better!
