At the beginning of the year I talked about a wonderful study I was doing with my Bible study girls and in my personal Bible study. Made to Crave. We are at the end of the book with only two chapters/weeks left. It has been a great journey. Through Made to Crave, God revealed to me that I was craving and turning to pepsi far more than I was craving and turning to God. It has been four and a half months that I have gone without a pepsi and I do not miss it. I have learned to turn to God and it is wonderful! God fulfills me far more than the pepsi ever did. Author Lysa TerKeurst says, "We were made to crave God not food." Love that quote. If you have not yet had a chance to read Made to Crave, give it a try!
Yesterday I started a new book in my personal Bible study that I am super excited about, Reshaping It All with Candance Cameron Bure and Darlene Schacht. Candance gives motivation for spiritual and physical fitness. She says, "I knew who God was, but I still hadn't grasped who I was in His sight."
If you want to lose weight, get healthy or work on your spiritual health, check out Made to Crave and Reshaping It All! You will be blessed!
Sweet Blessings~

I haven't read Made to Crave yet but I hear it's wonderful. Anything written by Lysa is awesome! How wonderful God showed you how he sees you. What a great thing to take away from the study...crave God not Pepsi. Although Pepsi is good, God is better!:) Hugs!!
ReplyDeleteIt's so wonderful to hear you've won your struggle with Pepsi Jenifer... I remember how difficult a time you had in the beginning. Congratulations! In God's Arms, we truly have all the comfort we need to get past our earthly difficulties. :-)
ReplyDeleteHave a Blessed Day!
When you crave God, what else is there? There have been times that I thought I had all of God that I needed but not so, I crave Him more and more. Thanks for a great post and blessings to you.
ReplyDeleteNice post!I think physical and spiritual fitness go hand-in-hand!

I've been wanting to read Reshaping It All, but haven't bought a copy yet. Thansk for recommending it!
ReplyDeleteGrasping who we are in God's eyes. If understand this we understand everything! Great post
ReplyDeleteI love what Candace said. I'm discovering not only more about God, but about how He sees me; who He says I am.
ReplyDeleteI love made to crave and it's so awesome learning about how God sees me.
ReplyDeleteLoved your thoughts on craving. I too want to crave God more than food. I did give up Dr.Pepper; but I am still struggling with Chocolate. I just hope we can have chocolate in Heaven.
ReplyDeleteI will check into the program mentioned.
Blessings to you!
I've got Made to Crave and have to confess that I haven't read it yet...I've heard great things about it, but haven't made the plunge yet!
