Welcome!
My name is Rachel McKinney, I want to thank you for taking the time to come and listen to my story and how living by Faith has continued to lead me in a contented and abundant life! At the age of seven I gave my heart to the Lord and now it is 2016 and I am in my 82nd year. The information you will read is hopefully informative and exciting. This blog was started a few years ago just to talk about losing weight and being healthy and it's true I have been working on my health and my body for many years. But now as I grow older I find that my spiritual life even more than I ever realized before is meshed (and has always been) with the physical. I now know that it is all about "letting go and letting God" run my life. This gives me peace, joy and contentment as I know that God is in charge of it all!! Feel free to comment if you wish.
Wow! I am finally back writing in my blog. James 1:14 (NLT) says, "Temptation comes from our own desires, which entice us and drag us away." It is always the "flesh" the "self" that wants to be n control. I have been abstinent since 9/7/11 and now that the five year mark has been passed I am having more food thoughts than before. I have to remember that the focus in my life has to be on serving God and obeying Him. This means giving the food thoughts to Him and allowing Him to fill the space with joy and contentment. It is all about faith and trust.
