Out of Control / Spiralling - Only You can Stop It

Ever been told you were out of control or just spiralling. Lets go back to the local playground and try to picture yourself on that roundabout which went really fast................................
Now how would you feel? When I went on there one time with a few friends, one pushed it real fast and it was quite an experience, to have someone control how fast you go or how slow you go. I'm not sure if I want to go through that again

That was me with my eating habits, there was a time when I thought that everything was good and that I could eat anything but some family and friends had to tell me straight - 'Ryan, watch what you eat'

It was quite different to hear that but I soon realised the damage it could cause and then I came across the following scripture - Everything is permissible (allowable and lawful) for me; but not all things are helpful (good for me to do, expedient and profitable when considered with other things). Everything is lawful for me, but I will not become the slave of anything or be brought under its power (1 Corinthians 6:12)

Soon or later, I discovered for myself that not all foods are beneficial for me. When I started my road to surgery, I was told that after surgery, the food I eat now will have to be cut off completely, whilst I didn't take it in I eventually realised it wouldn't do me any good. Even as I was preparing for surgery I had to make drastic changes in what I ate, the portion sizes and how regular I ate. 

So, what helped me change what I ate - I would have to say having a diary and a schedule and also getting help from my church family and direction from God, this combination helped me a lot. I was also told to listen to my body as it would signify what it likes and what it doesn't like

Only I could stop myself from spiralling out of control so I took back control and started to change my lifestyle. A few months on and I can truly say that it's the best decision I have ever made. I'm not totally there yet but I made a change and it is starting to pay off. 

If you find yourself on a roundabout, jump off and get back up and start to take control and it shall be well with you

“Say to the righteous that it shall be well with them,
For they shall eat the fruit of their doings. - Isaiah 3:10

Be Blessed

Key to Your Heart

Over time it is understandable that you may want to build a wall around you with the fear that someone will come in and ruin you and leave you broken hearted once again.
I'm sure that you can relate to this, I was once in that position. I isolated myself, started to stay at home more and not socialise with most of my friends. I built a wall so I was sure that no one could hurt me again, it felt good at the time but I realised that there were people out there who really did genuinely love me and wanted to help me and spend time with me.

It took a long time for me to be able to put my trust in people again, I had to build a foundation with people and ensure that their hearts were in the right place. One of the biggest things I had to do was to open up to people and tell them what I was going through, it was hard at first but step by step I began to open up to people.

Months later and now I've changed my mindset towards people and my behaviour towards them. It's still a struggle but with God's grace I will break that mode and be free to talk to others.............
A huge test was when I had surgery in September and during recovery mode I had this concept that not many people would take interest in what had happened but that concept totally went out the window as some of my church family came to see me and that was such an encouragement to me. Since then I have become more open and it has benefited me in more ways than one.

What I would say is that there are people who will have a genuine passion to help you and look after you. Those people might just have the key to your heart. Let them in, let them comfort and help you. Let them help you become free


“Bear (endure, carry) one another's burdens and troublesome moral faults, and in this way fulfill and observe perfectly the law of Christ (the Messiah) and complete what is lacking [in your obedience to it].”

I would love to hear your stories and hopefully encourage some of you to achieve freedom.

You can do it if your change your mindset. One Love
