And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
Matthew 10:30
What do you think of when you see the word numbers? Do you ponder the scale that mocks you each morning? Does your mind wander to your bank account? All to often we live our life by the numbers.
What would happen if we transformed our thinking about numbers and began to live by a new standard?

Shannon... Great post! I struggle so much with measuring up. It's that little nagging insecurity that just won't seem to go away. It's only those moments when I listen to God that the worry over the "numbers" goes away.
ReplyDeleteClearly I can relate to your struggle. I must confess I didn't read Lysa TerKeurst's book Made to Crave when it first came out because I didn't want to read another book about why I weighed to much. Recently I found my "want to" and it was not the number on the scale. It is so freeing!
DeleteI've read it yesterday, your guestblog, and say: It is an very inspiring writing! God bless you and your family today.
