God makes no mistakes (300.4 pounds)

I was reminded of one of my favorite songs this week.   It was written by Kim Moore and sang by Mac and Beth Lynch.  The lyrics go like this:

My life I give to you O Lord use me I pray
May I glorify your precious name In all I do and say
Let me trust you in the valley dark as well as in the light
Knowing you will always lead me Your will is always right

I know God makes no mistakes
He leads in every path I take along the way that's leading me to home
Tho at times my heart would break there's a purpose in every change he makes
That others would see my life and know that God makes no mistakes

And when some day in heaven above I see his dear face
May I then be counted faithful as a runner in this race
Now I'm trusting in the Savior to show me the way
In his righteousness He guides me as I seek to please him day by day

I know God makes no mistakes
He leads in every path I take along the way that's leading me to home
Tho at times my heart would break there's a purpose in every change he makes
That others would see my life and know that God makes no mistakes

This song was a good reminder for me that when unexpected things in life occur, God is not surprised.  This week I needed a firm reminder that my plans are not as important as the Lord's and sometimes I need to just back off! 

Alright, on to weight loss... I have talked many times about perspective.  I lost 4 pounds this week.  Typically I would be excited about that.  This week though I was really hoping for 4.5 pounds.  Instead, I am just a sliver over 300 pounds still.  God is so good and He makes no mistakes.  I just want you to know that next weeks post to my blog will be very special to me!
