I’m Being Rescued Again!

September 10, 2013 by Leah Stirewalt 5 Comments

It’s still just after Labor Day right? Oh…sure it is. Ha! I said I’d be back right after Labor Day in my last post, but I’ve been a teeny bit busy wrapping my head around a new thing God is doing in my life.

While I don’t want to share too much right now…that will come later…let’s just say He’s redeeming my weight loss woes! Oh yes He is! Big time!

The last time I checked in with you regarding my weight loss journey HERE, I was a bit downtrodden, to say the least. But, I asked you to pray, and for those of you that did…don’t stop! The prayers are working!

I promise to give you details later…including amounts of weight loss, etc. But, for now…just continue to pray. This is the LAST of the big areas where I’ve been in “deep waters” for a long time. I’ve been praying and praying and praying for God to rescue me, and I can honestly say He’s rescuing me now! I just had to grab onto the life preserver, and I’ve been hanging on as He tows me gently back to a safe place.

This journey is not a short one. I’m still in the beginning, but I have hope. Huge hope! Not in me. Definitely not in me. But, I have enormous hope in the God of the Universe. He’s been so ready to deliver me from this bondage, but for some reason I haven’t let Him. Dumb…but true. Until now…

Hang on dear bloggy friends! A new Leah will be emerging very soon!

Just wanted to share a few pics from a beautiful day I shared with my hubby hiking in the woods last weekend. I can’t wait to do even more of that as God rebuilds this run-down body of mine! You are a blessing!

    I share your struggle but believe God Does have a plan for each of us. Sometimes, I just forget to listen to His plan and then beat myself up because I’ve failed at my own attempts (again)…But God!!! Praying for you!

Meet Leah

Leah StirewaltI became "twice widowed" when my beloved prince, Joel, went to his Heavenly home after a brief and sudden illness on February 12, 2017. I’m in a place of shock and devastation, but I intend to use this format to journal my second widow journey, much like I did my first. It’s my open journal, my electronic oasis, and it’s often the place I find true healing as I allow myself to “come clean” with my feelings. Read More...
