Consent of the King? Part 1

Will you go away if I offend or ignore?
Do I leave when I’m offended or ignored?
Does THE King consent to profanity? Whether it’s in the form of language…pictures…or behavior?

And is it not obscene…and even profane…to gain more weight than my frame can carry…without causing health issues and pain?

Hmmm…sometimes when I begin writing…I think I have one thing to say…and yet…words that I’d not thought…come from my fingers and onto this keyboard.

Judge not, lest ye be judged…is there more to this…is it sufficient to say this…or am I taking this out of context?

Take the log out of your own eye…before trying to remove the splinter from the eye of another…honestly…this is true…yet…is there ever a time when I should or must speak the truth…as I can’t seem to get rid of this log…and your eye has a log too! Hmmm…well…not yours necessarily…but well…if it’s true…I really still do want to help me and you...get the logs and yep...even the splinters removed!

OK…so here’s the deal. I can’t seem to get this subject of profanity off of my mind. It keeps popping up…when I’m driving the bus, reading, walking about…and now…even while I’m resting…ugh! So, I guess it’s time to write something…and perhaps I’ll get revelation…or rest from this subject of profanity.

Yes, it is profane and even obscene for Carol Eileen Suronen Williams to continue to gain weight…on this itty bitty 5’2”…and decreasing height (yep!) frame. And I have come to the conclusion that nobody else’s weight or frame is any of my business…unless they talk to me about it…and it is my business…and the business of the church…to focus on this issue of girth.

And now that I’ve said this…it is only in confession…and most of you already know as I don’t keep it a secret…that I continue to struggle…but I have faith in God…that He is leading and guiding and teaching and revealing…and showing me the way out of this pain. And there is hope beyond the scope of losing weight…and indeed lifestyle can be changed…and it is helpful for me…to confess and to pray…and to say truthfully that I’ve seen others change…especially on the inside … and somewhat on the outside…and yes even years of living in grace…by faith…and yes…a favorite verse of mine that keeps me going not only in the issue of profane weight…but in the hope of the return of Christ Jesus…and not only in the return…but in the power of the Spirit of God to bring life and help and continual washing of regeneration now….now…NOW! Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Part two to come...which is truly what I thought I was going to initially write about...part two I believe...is about the profane language in books, music, films and precious people...on my bus, on the streets, in the stores...and elsewhere...that keeps on messing with me...yup.
