Years ago I lost
about forty pounds and was looking and feeling great. Rocking a bikini at the
beach and all that. Emphasis on was. (I'm back to addressing this post-adoption issue again...one of the most challenging that has yet to be overcome.)
Anyone who has
ever lost weight doesn’t need to have it explained that it's some of the hardest
work you’ll ever do. Back then, I wrote down every bite that went into my mouth and was on the elliptical machine, daily.
Imagine my
frustration when quite a number of well- meaning Christian friends and acquaintances
said: “Deanna…you look incredible! What an amazing miracle the Lord
has done in your life…”

Okkkkkaaaaaaaaaaay.
There were no miracles. And, it wasn’t the Lord’s butt on an elliptical machine everyday.
