Dear weight struggle,

NOT yours truly,
Melissa
Dear fear, doubt & worry -
My youth pastor once taught me that FEAR stands for False Evidence Appearing Real. I never forgot that. Unfortunately, I don't think i'd know the peace & contentment that is found in Christ if it wasn't for you rearing your ugly head. So thank you for coming to my life. And thank you for leaving it. Because i know that i will have the things i am afraid of not having in God's time.
Good Riddance,
Melissa
Dear klutzyness,
Thank you for keeping me humble. But i mean...back off, already!
Thanks.
Mel
Ok, i'm not sure if that was EXACTLY what the creators of the Gratitude Challenge had in mind, but....yeah. That's all i got. ;) HA!
I love the FEAR thing. I've never heard that. I don't know how people go through life without the peace God provides!
