Today's chapter talked about an emergency list that you could pull out if you feel like you're going to succumb to head/heart hunger. It's hard to think of what would work for me, but here's a couple of things:
1. Drink flavored water.
2. Always have gum on hand and chew some if I'm craving something sweet.
3. Read a book.
I either am emotionally eating (stress or mostly boredom) at work (candy) or emotionally eating (boredom) at home (whatever I can find in my house). So, I know the first two would work at work, and all of them should work at home. We'll see how this pans out.
"Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him and he will do this: He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun. Be stil before the Lord and wait patiently for him." Psalm 37:3-7a
This is one of those verses that I memorized and always called to mind when I thought "when are the things that I want going to happen." As I'm preparing to embark on new adventures, I'm going to remember that he is always the one who has made things happen, and I will trust and be patient.
