Nutrition Reset- day 9!

Happy Tuesday. I'm excited about how I am shedding pounds each day. I am down about 6 pounds after one week, which I expect to see slow down a little bit after the cleanse. This has happened for me before, A rapid weight-loss at the beginning followed by a more gradual weight loss afterward. I hope and pray that I can avoid my starvation – binge cycle this time. The long-term goal is to eat in moderation and stay active, focusing on a generally Natural and mostly gluten-free  diet. 

My heart is to no longer be addicted to food. Please, God, let this be the last time I need to go through major weight loss! With God, all things are possible. I am convinced that he who began a good work in me will complete it till the day of Christ Jesus. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me! No weapon formed against me will prosper. Every tongue which rises against me in judgment I will show to be in the wrong. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is from the Lord! Scripture references forthcoming. Have a wonderful day!

  Monday, January 29, 2018 Reflections on Celebration of Discipline—The Discipline of Guidance, Part 1 Excerpt: Perhaps the preoccupation with private guidance in Western cultures is the product of their emphasis upon individualism. The people of God have not always been so. God led the children of Israel out of bondage as a people. Everyone saw the cloud and fiery pillar. They were not a gathering of individuals who happened to be going in the same direction; they were a people under the theocratic rule of God. His brooding presence covered them with an amazing immediacy. Patiently God prepared a people and in the fullness of time Jesus came. And with him dawned a new day. Once again a people were gathered who lived under the immediate, theocratic rule of the Spirit. With quiet persistence Jesus showed them what it meant to live in response to the voice of the Father. He taught them that they, too, could hear the heaven-sent voice and most clearly when together. “...

Monday, November 27, 2017 True Service vs. Self- Righteous Service: The Discipline of Service, Part 2 (Inspired by Celebration of Discipline by Richard Foster)

Monday, November 27, 2017 True Service vs. Self- Righteous Service: The Discipline of Service, Part 2 (Inspired by Celebration of Discipline by Richard Foster) “True service comes from a relationship with the divine Other deep inside. We serve out of whispered promptings, divine urgings. Energy is expended but it is not the frantic energy of the flesh. Thomas Kelly writes, “I find He never guides us into an intolerable scramble of panting feverishness.” (Foster, Richard J.. Celebration of Discipline: The Path To Spiritual Growth (p. 127-128). HarperCollins. Kindle Edition.)” “True service builds community. It quietly and unpretentiously goes about caring for the needs of others. It draws, binds, heals, builds.  (pp. 129-130).” Scripture: Philippians 2:1-7 1 So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy,  2  complete my joy by being of the same mind, ha...
