Mission Impossible

Today I got to chose a movie title for how I thought creating a food plan was going to be. I was given a list of title to from which to choose: Psycho, Leap of Faith, Mission Impossible, Life Is Beautiful, High Noon, Do the Right Thing, Les Miserables, Saving Grace, A Time to Kill, and Independence Day. Some of these I hadn't heard of so that reduced my selection immediately, but based upon my past I have chosen Mission Impossible.

I have tried and can be successful in the short run, but not the long. What I feel is the most important flag I can take from this is that I have not completely changed my thought process. I know that this is a journey and I am not going to wake up one morning and Wha-La!! be changed, but I do feel like I am making progress. I realize that it is Mission Impossible as long as I try to go it alone.

The verses that have been speaking the loudest to be are from Isaiah. Isaiah 43:18-19 says to

"forget the former things, do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland."

This verse is definitely going to help me remove the "im" from impossible and make it possible because it is not possible with me -I'm not able, but He is.

I saw this happen today - I was at Olive Garden for lunch and didn't even have a bread stick. Now I have done this in the past, but it was very difficult. This time I loved it, I didn't want one, and I know that was God because I am a carb junkie. I even chose the healthy soup - Minnestrone - in place of the salad as the salad dressing they use is less than healthy. I also chose just a plain pasta with a tomato based sauce - and it was good. I chose from their items with the olive branch by them - which indicated low fat.

All that being see, I truly believe I have my Want to and as I am working on taking me out of impossible (I'm), I truly believe I am going to be successful and I thank God and give him the glory for my success.
