God is looking out for me

Jesus said to his disciples: “What is your opinion? If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them goes astray, will he not leave the ninety-nine in the hills and go in search of the stray? And if he finds it, amen, I say to you, he rejoices more over it than over the ninety-nine that did not stray. In just the same way, it is not the will of your heavenly Father that one of these little ones be lost.” What a comforting message! During those moments (days? weeks? months?) when I've "gone astray" God is looking out for me to bring me back to the fold. God helps me stay on track - in all ways and all things. How has this been true for me recently? Since Thanksgiving, I've been overdoing it on sugar and starchy carbs - I like stuffing, baked goodies and sugary drinks like lattes. And it shows. My pants are tighter but more than that my energy levels plummet - I feel lazy, lethargic and in a mental haze (from being in a sugar coma perhaps?. But starting today I'm back to my usual eating style, no-sugar cinnamon spice tea, a big salad for dinner, oranges from our backyard, and carrot/butternut squash soup for breakfast AND lunch!
