Day 30- A Good Word for Life

If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14


I love this scripture!  This scripture has been in my heart for a long time as a NOW WORD for all of us. A now Word to do just what this scripture says!  Tying this in to whatever journey you are on.  Take it for just what it says and apply it. 

BE HUMBLE. PRAY. SEEK THE LORD'S FACE.  TURN FROM EVIL (WHATEVER YOU NEED TO TURN FROM).  HE WILL HEAR FROM HEAVEN(HE WILL HEAR OUR PRAYER/CRY), FORGIVE OUR SIN(HELP US MOVE PASS WHATEVER IT IS) AND HEAL OUR LAND(US/OUR SITUATION). 

This does not mean it will be easy or any less of a journey.  But we can move forward with the peace that God gives and knowing that God is in control. 

Today I want to share something that I learned from my Dr.  I have actually been trying to increase my caloric intake because I came to the realization that I was way below the recommendations. Well, with my Dr's approval, I can continue to keep my calories low as long as my meals are balanced and I am getting enough protein.  Currently, I eat quite a bit but it has very little caloric value and a great deal of health benefits so it is doable.  I am not advising anyone else to do this without consulting a Dr. first but know that you can cut down calories under your Dr's supervision. 

So, what do I eat?  I eat a lot of black beans in everything!  I drain and rinse them and cook them in plain water (no salt or anything).  I load them with bell pepper, onion, mushrooms, rotel and salsa. I eat boiled eggs.  I eat a lot of fruits and vegys which have very low caloric value.  I eat a normal dinner, but in very small portions.  My main goal is to make sure that I am not hungry when dinner comes so I don't over eat but I get to enjoy real food.  And as you have heard a million times before, I drink a lot of water.

Now, you may see me in a few days or a week and say,"she don't look like she is losing weight" and to that I say, "Slow and steady wins the race".  In time, In time.  I am not able to fully exercise, but just imagine what will happen when I can.  I am so excited for this journey. 

My prayer is for you all reading this that whatever your journey you find a way to let it excite you.  Change takes work and is not always easy but know that in due season you will reap if you faint not.

Blessings.
