I have always known that setting healthy boundaries is essential to one's life, yet I have always struggled to do this-whether it be with eating, my family, or what I do in my spare time...I need boundaries, it has become apparent. So I have been starting to establish them. I plan to do this in several ways such as going to bed and getting up at a normal hour, working out 3-4 times a week, not over-eating during any meal, having a healthy distance from my family, and treating sweets, fast-food, and eating out as something special-not as routine.
What has been interesting this past month is that as I prayed for strength to establish boundaries, God has given me a promise of prosperity for my life. I just love this! I love how if you do something out of obedience, then God blesses you. This is the promise God has given me for prosperity:
"For the Lord your God is bringing you into a good land - a land with streams and pools of water, with springs flowing in the valleys and hills; a land with wheat and barley, vines and fig trees, pomegranates, olive oil and honey; a land where bread will not be scarce and you will lack nothing; a land where the rocks are iron and you can dig copper out of the hills." -Deut. 8:7-9
No I have even more motivation to establish these boundaries in order to usher in this promise. It is during these times that I am so thankful that God is my rescuer and provider. If you have any questions about what the heck I'm talking about, feel free to leave me a comment. I'd love a chance converse with some of my readers.
xoxo,
Savvy
