He said to them, "It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has fixed by His own authority." Acts 1:7
Verily I say to you, My son, it is enough that you hear and receive these simple words of encouragement and assurance. The boundaries of our mind and experience are such that there will always be things too hard for you to understand. Your demand to know must be replaced by a desire to love, to obey, to please Me. That is the real path to blessing and fulfillment. The "knowledge path" is never going to fill your deepest needs. Re-think, and be more diligent to find what I have for you.

from Echoes of Eternity: Listening to the Father (Volume II) |
A Word from Carol:
"I often hear this question: Why a "faith-based" diet program? Or even,
what does "faith" have to do with dieting?
My quest in the early days of this journey was to learn how to apply the
faith I had in God -- the faith that believed he could move mountains
and that he kept my life in balance -- and apply it to my daily
struggles. Each of us struggles; my struggles were primarily with my
weight, my self-image, and my self-worth. I wanted to take my spiritual
beliefs and put them to work in my daily life.
I knew beyond any doubt that God cared about everything I was concerned
about. The Bible says that he cares about sparrows, and even about the
hair on your head! So why wouldn't God care about my struggles with
eating? While asking that question, I looked up at a Sunday school
bulletin board and a simple sign that read, "God Has the Answer." I knew
then and there that I had to incorporate God fully and completely into
the nitty-gritty details of my daily life.
Does God have answers? Yes, he does. He has answers for all of our
needs. We just have to learn how to listen, and believe. That's your
first challenge as you go forward with the 3D plan!"
