That is where I am with these cookies...well that is true of the cookies too. Since I know myself in this area of food I am gonna have to just not buy them, don't go down the cookie isle at the store. Eating just one or two a day is not working. Sugar addiction is powerful and makes my heart hurt for those who are addicted to hard drugs. I could judge their weakness as worst but truth is anything that controls my mind buy Him is bad for me. My prayer for the second year in a role has been, take me deep Lord, take me deep...He is faithful. Thanks Linda for your encouragement on this post. When I wrote it I almost did not post it because the enemy of my soul said, that is not very spiritual, cookies...silly things to write about but it encouraged me to get it out of my heart. Blessings my friend.

I'm guessing most all of us are addicted to something, we're just not wise enough to admit it or even discern its hold over us. Thank you for going there. <br /><br />He is able, isn't He ...Linda Stollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02170871743323855687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4803438520720402383.post-49478497905798190992019-04-30T09:39:46.313-07:002019-04-30T09:39:46.313-07:00I figure I would hit a nerve with this post becaus...I figure I would hit a nerve with this post because we are all creatures of the same design. Which is exactly why God had to address the moderation issue. It falls in that, "self control" category. We have family who are addicted to some "real drug" as some call them. I know someone right now who is addicted to shopping big time. I try not to use, "there are worst things" then my cookies to be addicted to then I remember, what so ever you eat or drink do unto the Lord and since my body houses one of the trinity that makes me want to practice self control. Blessings brother, thanks for the imput.

Who has an ...Addiction?Who has a cycling addiction? Who has an ice cream addiction? Surely not me!!!!! I think we all have those areas where we struggle. There are some things to quit cold turkey, but i do agree with Martha. Moderation...unless doctor says, "Nope." Years ago I gave up eating beef. It was self-imposed due to cholesterol. A year later I ate a hamburger Jo made and got sick. It wasn't for another 15 years or so until I ate beef again. I now eat it in very slim moderation. Like maybe once or twice this year. I gave up chips for 7 years because I couldn't stop eating them and all my cycling was for naught. I now eat them in moderation. Smoking or drinking (neither of which I have ever done) has never been a temptation. But cycling, exercise, and ice cream...now you've gone to meddling. :) Bill (cycleguy)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09082407231475058958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4803438520720402383.post-61563633839767867192019-04-29T19:35:41.522-07:002019-04-29T19:35:41.522-07:00Thanks Martha for your insight, I agree with you. ...Thanks Martha for your insight, I agree with you. The cigarettes had to be cold turkey but I think food must be consumed in moderation with wisdom. <br />I will get right to the address issue.

I don't think there is a one of us who doesn't struggle with one in some form or another. I think it's best to cut back, not cut out, things we consume for pleasure, unless the doctor tells us otherwise. We are meant to live abundant lives, not joyless ones. <br />Also, my friend, I sent you another email today regarding an address correction. The P.O. won't send the books I have ready to go to the address you sent me. As soon as I hear from you, they'll be in the mail!<br />Blessings!Martha Jane Orlandohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11620499267401065780noreply@blogger.com
