So, I’ve recently removed soda from my diet (mostly, except during youth events and Fourth of July cookouts where I binge), and the benefit has been huge. After years spent exercising on a regular basis, I’ve finally started to lose some weight. It’s not much, but in my case anything is better than nothing. It feels good to be able to tighten my pants a little. I’ve dropped a couple of notches in my belt, and I’m looking to drop another one here quite soon.
The problem is, there’s that in between time. I’m in a place right now where if I tighten my belt that extra hole then in cuts of the circulation to my legs, but if I leave it then I’m constantly hoisting up my pants as they slowly lower to reveal parts of my anatomy that no one should have to see. I’m not where I was, but I’m also not quite to where I want to be, either.
I think that not only is my waistline in this situation, I think my spiritual life is there as well. I know that I’m growing, but I see the next step in my walk with God and I’m not there yet, either. I still have some of the same old struggles that I used to, though not as often. I feel like I should be done with those things by now, I want to be at the next place in my spirituality, but I’m not. I’m in between. And God is showing me that I can’t get to where I want to be without first being in between, that this is just as much a part of the process of seeking true Christianity as anything else. So I press on, hoping to loose those few pounds as well as the sins and struggles that keep me where I am. I’m in between for now, but I hope to be at the next place soon.
