GRAVES OF CRAVING
This is on my mind and I cannot get it out, so I created a little third grade level artistic masterpiece to display. Somehow I missed the art gene, but it was cathartic coloring, cutting, and pasting. In my reading through the Bible in one year program I came upon this verse in Numbers 11:34 " Therefore the place was named Kibroth Hattaavah, because there they buried the people who had craved other food." Kibroth Hattaavah means GRAVES OF CRAVING.
I read that and thought about how I am craving myself into an early grave. Two things I thought:
1. Bury my cravings BEFORE they bury me.
2. REST IN PEACE cravings. I don't need them haunting me like a scary movie.
I got these new pretty babies last week. I love them so far, and hope to wear them out this spring. Starting tomorrow I am going to write down my exercise and post it with my weekly results. Hopefully the white ankles aren't blinding the view of the shoes.
Tomorrow I will post my first week in March results. I leave you with a link to a blog asking for prayer for a sweet little girl named Lucy. Lucy is five today. I do not know this family, but found her blog through a friend. Lucy faces a battle no five year old should ever have to face, and I know Lucy and her family need all of our prayers! http://erikandkatekrull.blogspot.com/
Lastly of course I cannot resist showing you the full size version of my masterpiece. I am burying my cravings and I am not digging them back up!
