Small Victories

I wanted to share a small victory that happened last night. Keep in mind I have been avoiding eating out because I have NEVER been able to stay in control. I would go with good intentions but when the waitress would ask what I wanted the total opposite of what I wanted would pop out of my mouth.

So, my family and I went out to a mexican food restaurant for dinner. All the way there my husband and I talked about what we were going to order. We talked about the chips and the salad dressing. So we get there and order fajita salads with the dressing on the side. We ate 3 chips each! That is a record! After the waitress left I realized I forgot to tell her to hold the cheese. So she brings the salads and not only is there a 1/2 lb of cheese (just kidding) on the salad there was also a small cup of queso! So my thoughts went to "Oh, I can remove the grated cheese and eat the queso." Then the Lord spoke and said "NO CHEESE!" So I start trying to plead my case in my head. Then I stopped and said "Lord you are right!" I gave my queso to my daughter and I removed all the cheese from my salad. Then to top it off I was able to eat my salad with NO salad dressing. I was very satisfied and did not miss the dressing at all.

I am excited beyond words that I over came a "Defensive Players-Obstacle!" I was only able to do it because the Lord was speaking to me and I was willing to listen and act! Praise The Lord!

I pray you all will find small victories in your day! God Bless!
