Slow and Steady

Proverbs 21:5 Living Bible (TLB)
5 Steady plodding brings prosperity; hasty speculation brings poverty.

I have this series of bushes out front I almost killed.  I got too eager and cut all of them down to the roots.  Fortunately after a bit of rain and much prayer they are slowly coming back.  This reminds me about how in life we want something but sometimes we try to do it in our own power.  I am the queen of doing this myself. With God's help I know I can accomplish many things.  I have done it before and I know having the right attitude I can do it again.    I want to lose weight but I know with my age, lifestyle and that I live with Mr. Snack it is going to be a daily and hourly choice.  Today I could of let all go loose with some jealousy and some negativity from others but I choose to not let others affect me.  I would rather have slow sustained weight loss just like my bushes.  It took 10 years to get there.  Hopefully in 6 months instead of days and weeks I can get back to where I used to be.
