Today I had a real humbling experience. I don’t know about you but I have a hard time admitting when I am wrong. And this time I was soooooo wrong.
On my last post I got on my high and mighty horse and wrote how my family was going to eat this way because I was pretty much in control of their environment at home. I pretty much said “My may way or starve.”
Needless to say some members of my family were not to happy about this. Who can blame them I hate it when people try to control my life.
This is how I came to this amazing revelation. Today in my study group on Made to Crave we went over a scripture that hit me right between the eyes. Or you could say I got a hard kick in the butt where I needed it to knock me off my High Horse.
The scripture was Romans 14:19 “Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and mutual edification.”
It talks about peace. Right away I new I was doing something wrong. I chose to tell my home circumstance to the group and ask them what they would do. I learned it is not my responsibility what my husband eats or doesn’t eat. But it is my responsibility what my son eats.
Late that day I thought this over. First thing that came to my mind is my husband has high blood pressure, he was pre-diabetic, and he has autism. I can not and will not buy him stuff or make him food that can hurt him.
What can I do?
I decided to give my husband part of our grocery money and he can buy what he would like. But I will ask him not to eat the food around Cody or me.
This sounds like a responsible plan. Maybe God will show me something else but this gives me peace right now. When I try to control my husband’s eating habits I am not allowing God to work in his life. He wouldn’t get the chance to feel the amazing peace and empowerment I have by eating for the Lord.
So I am going to step out of God’s way and let Him work. I know my amazing God can do anything. Look He got my attention.
God Bless!
