Lord's Table Testimony: Dianne

I have not always been heavy. As a matter of fact, I was skinny as a child, but since my early teens my weight has been up and down. I did four years in the USAF where I had to stay within a set weight standard. I married the most wonderful man and then the babies started to come. My weight continued to go up and down, more up than down. In the last few years, we have had many changes and trials in our lives. I found myself numbing myself first with alcohol then with food. Looking for something to fill the emptiness.

I was able to turn the alcohol over to my Lord and have not had any or the desire for any since. I had never thought that my eating habits were sinful, but then thank God I found The Lord's Table and have come to realize the truth. I know for a fact that the Lord brought me here.

I have gone to camp as a youth counselor for the past few years and was not sure that I felt called to return again this year. I prayed about it and told the Lord my concerns about my weight and that I am a smoker. That very same day someone on a homeschooling discussion board placed a link for TLT. I know this is what the Lord wants. He convicted me of my sins and has shown me just what I have to do, to turn it over to Him. I have grown and learned so much here!

My devotional today read, "What power I have comes from you. All I really need is enough to resist temptation, to love you with a clean heart. You are my strength."

He has renewed a right spirit within me!
