Walls

Walking around these walls

I thought by now they'd fall

But You have never failed me yet

Waiting for change to come

Knowing the battle's won

For You have never failed me yet

Your promise still stands

Great is Your faithfulness, faithfulness

I'm still in Your hands

This is my confidence, You've never failed me yet

I've seen You move, You move the mountains

And I believe, I'll see You do it again

You made a way, where there was no way

And I believe, I'll see You do it again

And You never failed me yet

I never will forget

You never failed me yet

I never will forget

"Walking around these walls, I thought by now they'd fall."  Anybody else feel like this?  

• 27 - Number of years I have been walking around these walls and trying to see the struggle with my weight come crumbling down
• 10ish - Number of weight loss programs I have tried.. repeatedly (Weight Watchers, Paleo, Whole Thirty, South Beach, MyFitnessPal, Counting Calories, Sugar Busters, Low Carb, No Carb, High Fiber, etc.)
• 275 - Highest weight I have seen 
• 140 - 177 - Healthy weight for my height

Over the years I have seen those walls start to come down, but then I lose focus/stamina/determination or I experience stress or frustration and resort back to old habits and that wall so quickly gets built back up.  And here we are, back at square one staring up at this giant seemingly indestructible wall and wondering how we got here.  

BUT

I've seen You move, You move the mountains

And I believe, I'll see You do it again

You made a way, where there was no way

And I believe, I'll see You do it again

And so for today I keep putting one foot in front of the other and asking the Lord to continue teaching me and growing me and helping me to untangle my messy relationship with food.  

What wall have you been circling that you thought by now would have come down?  Be reminded today that He has never failed you yet.  He is with you and He is for you!
