The difference between knowing and doing… Until 90 plus days ago when I got honest and joined Overeaters Anonymous, this was my daily dilemma… I was supposed to be losing weight, yet I had dessert. I needed to make healthy eating choices yet I found myself at the Taco Bell drive thru …AGAIN! Is it because I am weak willed and cannot control my sugar addiction? Nope, it’s the fact that I continued to choose my selfish and self-centered will over seeking God’s will. My heart KNOWS what I need to do, but my head does it anyway. This is not only the difference between knowing and doing, but also why my character defects left unchecked keep me unhealthy and in self-will. Do you have things you are doing that you know you should not be?... Check your experience… . “Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character” Big Book Step 6, Pg 59 Lord, let us give you our weaknesses and temptations in return for strength and support to stay in Your will for us, AMEN. I want to do what is good, but I don’t. I don’t want to do what is wrong, but I do it anyway.” Romans 7: 19 Have a blessed day y’all! Furniture Bank helps many folks with a HAND –UP as they work with various organizations to gain skills and jobs to escape homelessness and, helplessness to gain self-respect and self-sustainability!! Your gifts, donations, prayers, and financial support make this possible! Families, veterans, elderly, physically and mentally challenged, as well as others can enjoy homes filled with furniture and furnishings as they rebuild their lives. MAKE A DIFFERENCE! ALL donations to Furniture Bank are TAX DEDUCTIBLE and 100% goes toward helping the families, veterans, elderly, and other individuals in need. You can donate any amount for a tax deduction and tax receipt, BUT…. a gift of either $400 as an individual or $800 as a couple to Furniture Bank, Inc. a 501c3 public charity, can also reduce your tax bill to the State of Arizona by that amount dollar for dollar! It’s easy and you can make a big difference on how Furniture Bank can further help our families and individuals in need. http://www.furniturebank.us/arizona-tax-credit.html
