Thanks for your comment! Glad the post cau...Molly,<br /><br />Thanks for your comment! Glad the post causes you to think.<br /><br />I agree there may be cause for celebration. I think it depends on your focus, especially over the long haul.<br /><br />If our small victory is Spirit-led, celebrate! But typically, we are still very focused on the issue. "I can't eat that . . . I can't eat that . . . I can't eat that . . . Yey, I resisted." That type of thinking (focus) usually leads to setbacks and celebrating mediocrity.<br /><br />If God asks us to eat a particular way and we surrender to His will and in His power resist the temptation, that is worth celebrating!<br /><br />It's not an outward difference, but an inward one.Barb Wintershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00572098528528356596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1088040608749796485.post-66037922640571501712011-06-30T14:51:05.455-05:002011-06-30T14:51:05.455-05:00That is interesting to think about Barb...I will g...That is interesting to think about Barb...I will give it some thought. Of course I agree that the things of the Spirit have such surpassing value that there is no comparison with the two. But to celebrate the small victories...maybe it depends on how big the celebration. :) If it's just being happy with the eating change you have made, like maybe not putting those little things into your mouth that you used to think didn't count, then I definitely think that is worth stopping to "celebrate" because a wall is built with lots of little bricks!Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16646112083769795060noreply@blogger.com
