Whoa, what a ride it has been so far! I have currently lost 12.5 pounds. AND here is the strangest thing, I don't have physical cravings for food anymore! It's amazing. I still want to eat food that isn't healthy for me but I don't feel the physical pull toward it at all. Praise God! Slowly but surely the Lord is leading me out of that pit. Tomorrow I will be entering week nine of this weight loss journey. I'm very happy and excited to see more come from it!
More on the Abraham moment: I think God has given me the next step He wants me to take. I'm still praying about it to make sure but some things I just don't think are coincidence. <--It's a vague update but hopefully I will share more when the picture becomes clearer. I am discussing this with God-fearing people. I thank God for the people God has put in my life that are confident enough to tell me what they have received in answer to prayer regarding my life.
On another unrelated note, I'm looking into making more fair trade purchases. My eyes have been opened to needless slavery that's going on and I'm trying to figure out how to make purchases where I'm not indirectly employing mistreated slaves. I'm trying to educate myself on this. I will let you know what I find out and if I find any good resources to buying fair trade!
