Many times, we run to things other than God to try to soothe the hurting places in our souls. You know the things I'm talking about, those things that are addictive. We think these things are helping but really, they are just numbing our senses and distraction us from the pain for a bit but sadly the results of these additions only make things worse, because then we have the consequences of our addictions plus the guilt.
The quicker we come to realize that only God can rebuild and restore the better off we will be.
God loves us and wants what is best for us and if we will just surrender our lives to Him and allow Him to guide us, we might just be shocked at where He will take us. I know I am!
December 22, I made the decision to make my health a priority. Little did I know what this would mean.
On December 25 I began to read "Plant Powered" by Kim Murphy
As I read a section on meat and dairy, I learned that they contain a lot of estrogen and contribute to many cancers including endometrial (which is what I had removed in 2013). And I made the decision to give meat and dairy up. Now this is BIG! I was a vegetarian till I was 11 so giving up meant for me is really not a big deal but never in my life would I have guessed that I'd give up dairy. And a bigger miracle and blessing is I am totally ok with giving them up. I feel SO much better when I eat healthier. I sleep better too.
God doesn't as us to give up anything that would be a benefit. It is best to put in our bodies that which He created in order to give our bodies what they need. Our bodies will work best with the proper fuel.
God will do amazing things when we allow Him to rebuild and restore you. It still totally shocks me where He has taken me over the last month. Praise be to God!
This is HUGE! I am SO a proud of you, my friend! I know it is not easy to create new habits, but you are so worth taking care of! Know I am cheering and praying you on!
