At church we have been going through Margaret Feinberg's study, Wonderstruck, and this week's lessons were about prayer. Today was specifically about persevering in prayer. Both the man in Luke 11 and the widow in Luke 18 persisted in asking for what they wanted, and because of their persistence, they were granted their requests. This brought a question to my mind: How do you know when the answer is no and you should stop asking?
I'm sure all of you have a person or situation you've prayed about over and over, perhaps even for years. How do you know when God has just said no? Or do you keep praying until the end, hoping that your persistence will grant your request? I'd love to hear what you all think!

New habits
I've blogged before about my issues with food. This past winter I gave up sweets, fast food, and junk food for Lent, hoping that it would help put to death the idol of food in my life. Well, surprise surprise, it did not. My eating habits are just as bad as they've always been.
Last week we had a wellness screening at work. They looked at my BMI as well as my blood work and helped me figure out what my fitness goals should be. I'm not dangerously unhealthy, but I'm also not making the best choices for my body. I've also been learning about food intolerances and the toll they can take on your body, such as weight gain, fatigue, brain fog (which I definitely have and it's super annoying!) and acne. I have a feeling that I may have some sensitivities to certain foods, so my goal is to discover what those intolerances are and allow my body to heal so I can feel and act my best.
I have a plan in place based on JJ Virgin's book, The Virgin Diet. I feel a little weird blogging about my weight loss plan, but if you're curious I'm more than happy to talk about it with you! I also want to be more intentional about blogging, so I'm going to try to post at least once a week or so. I never know what to write about though so if you have any ideas for me let me know!
