Lord's Table Testimony: Sonja Peterson

When I look back over the last 3 months, I realize that I have changed, even though it was very slow. When I look back over the last 10 years, I realize that I have changed a lot. So, I guess that's how it is for the Christian. We should always be growing more like Christ. In these last 3 months, I've experienced a continual 3 steps forward, then 2 steps back. Sometimes it was hard not to focus on the steps back. But, I am getting quicker at getting back on track. The key is to not focus on my failures, or lack of progress, but put my focus back on Christ. Through this study, and other books that I have been reading, I have been set free from perfectionism, and striving. I'm resting in the truth that God is changing me, in His time, and for His glory. I have lost a couple pounds, which doesn't even matter to me anymore. It is just evidence that I am bingeing less, and feeding on Christ more. Today I decided to fast lunch to do my Bible study, and I was so excited about it. I couldn't wait to have that quiet time, kind of like how I used to be excited about having a birthday cake. Jesus is becoming my sweetest joy.
