It would be wonderful if Gluttony was just about what we put in our mouths. But the truth is that it can affect every area of our being. The flesh is never satisfied and looks to be indulged at every turn. And many times we spend our whole lives doing just that. We need to understand that our sufficiency is in Christ and not in anything that we can put in our mouths, put on our bodies, or own in this life.

I was inspired the day I walked into a Christian Bookstore and saw a study guide called "Woman of Moderation" by Dee Brestin. I was blessed to receive a real "light bulb" kind of moment and I beleive that I am forever changed.

If you can feel God's gentle urging for you to become a woman of moderation, please join with us and let's walk this journey together!

First Lady

Good Morning Lord, I kneel before you as humbly as I know how. Thanking you for waking to a brand new day. Thanking you for keeping me with a mind to serve you.

Forgive me Lord for all things unrighteous.Forgive me for all things that seperate me from your will. I acknowlege that your will is necessary in my life. I acknowlege that I can do nothing without you. I pray Lord that you will teach me moderation this day. That you will continue to gently remind me when I am out of alignment with moderation.

Teach me to walk in your strength when I am weak through my flesh. Teach me to rebuke my flesh when it is contrary to your will for my life. Not my will but thy will be done, I hand it over to you freely because I realize that you know my beginning from my end and all things work together for my good because I love you.

I lift my hand in praise this day, you are worthy Lord, to be praised.

In your son Jesus' name...Amen
