What do you want for me Lord? Jeremiah 29:11

What do you want for me, Lord? I ask this question often in one form or another. What do you want for my life? Where do you want me to go? What should I do? Although, I come up empty on answers at times, I have come to rely on one verse for hope and direction during the foggy times in my life. Jeremiah 29:11 reminds me that Gods plans are for success and hope, not failure in my life. Although I have been painfully reminded at times that God uses trials and tests to build my character, His overall plan includes triumph in this life! It's for that reason I can rest in the assurance that He wants health, wellness and weight loss for me! As an overweight teen, and young adult I struggled with low self-esteem, depression, guilt, anxiety, lethargy and so many other issues that kept me from serving God the way I was meant to serve. My weight problems were a result of my reliance on food for comfort, peace and answers when I should have been seeking God.....Many of us can say the same. God
