I bought the book the first of the year. At first I resisted the message. I thought "I can't be completely obedient and do what Gwen says we should." I did not think I could believe in it.
Well, time spent reading and re-reading her book, and spending time each day reading my bible and really talking to the Lord has completely changed my way of thinking. It has been a long, hard struggle for me to come to this way of thinking and I thank the Lord that I continued to pursue it and trust in him to help me reach the place I am today.
I really have not lost any weight until recently. Things are so much easier now for me. I trust in the Lord completely and have given myself up to him.....since becoming obedient I have received so many jewels from him including weight loss....I have lost 10lbs and know I am well on my way to losing the rest.
I have a sense of "peace" now that I never had before and I do not worry about food or any other aspect of my life for that matter.
I used to get extremely stressed about everything and now with the Lord's help I am much better at letting go of it.
I hope to start a class soon at our church. They plan to offer one in a couple of weeks and I am excited about seeing the tapes and sharing with others my desert travels.
