MY BIG MAC STORY
“This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a
new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!” ~2 Corinthians 5:17
As many of you know, I've really been trying to eat
healthfully: more fruits and vegetables and less junk food. Well, the other
evening I was out late and decided to grab something to eat before heading
home. SOMEHOW I ended up in the McDonald's drive-thru ordering a Big Mac (with
no pickles; so they'd have to make a fresh one). Now I haven't had a Big Mac
for a minute. I used to eat them all the time, but since I changed my eating
habits I really haven't missed them at all. While I was eating the Big Mac I told myself,
"Self, you've done so well that this little slip up won't hurt anything.
Plus, you deserve it. You've been working hard all week doing stuff for
everybody else so go ahead and do this for you." I must confess: I ate the
WHOLE thing and enjoyed EVERY bite! Well..... I should've prayed first and
listened to the Holy Spirit and not me!!!!! The next morning I was SOOOO sick;
my stomach was turning upside down. As I was praying for healing that morning,
the Holy Spirit revealed ALOT of things to me; too much to get into right now,
but I will share them with you in weeks to come. I will tell you this: He
reminded me of the above scripture, and that I'm not who I once was. My life
has changed (and is changing) and doesn't have room or tolerance for the old
stuff I used to do.
