God will give you the strength. One of the "tricks" to success, (so I'm told), is to replace it with something. If you don't, you have a hole you have to fill with something and it's easy to revert back to old habits of default mode. I will be praying for you. Faith pleases Him, but I've been in the book of Numbers lately with my readings, and it certainly has a lot to say about obedience!

You are an inspiration as I am jumping on the no sugar band wagon. xoxoPamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00941799264944510946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5179318276894753192.post-5142595754190578802010-02-17T09:31:04.707-08:002010-02-17T09:31:04.707-08:00Vava, There are things that would be hard for me t...Vava, There are things that would be hard for me to give up too...sugar would be on the list. I grew up Catholic, and although I am no longer Catholic, I still remember the pressure to "give up" something for Lent. Now, I prefer to think of adding something instead of giving up something else. For me, that makes more sense. So maybe instead of you "giving up" TV you could word it as "I am adding more time in my life for ...reading, meditating, taking care of my body, mind, or spirit. And I am taking the time I used to spend on TV to do this." That sounds like less deprivation and more giving yourself a gift! I think God likes that better anyway!! At least I'd like to think so. I will certainly be praying for you in this exciting new endeavor!! Just think of all the time you will have now to do other wonderful things... xooxxo Love you, Gretchensewmuchwhimsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10551257546744269095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5179318276894753192.post-30696177734489140222010-02-17T08:27:15.485-08:002010-02-17T08:27:15.485-08:00Oh Vava.
I will DEFINITELY pray for you my friend....Oh Vava.<br />I will DEFINITELY pray for you my friend.<br />As a person who almost NEVER puts the tv on here in our home...Can be weeks and weeks, and then when I do, it is to watch a Spiritual Cinema dvd with movies, or an OnDemand movie that we wanted to see. What I am trying to say, is that although I do not 'know' the 'pull' that television watching (and your 'shows' that you love to watch each night) :)....I DO understand the 'pull' of something that is difficult to let go of...So my precious friend, I honor you in your choice to do this...I believe in you. And I believe that You and God, TOGETHER, can do this, without question. I would imagine there are lots of books that have been 'calling out to you' from the bookshelves, that will be so happy to see your lovely face as you open them up in the coming weeks and days. I love you Vava.
