Do not be discouraged by the resistance you will encounter from your human nature; you must go against your human inclinations. Often, in the beginning, you will think that you are wasting time, but you must go on, be determined and persevere in it until death, despite all the difficulties.

Good morning!
As of this writing, the topic of Detox has been on my mind. That is a perpetual and ongoing occurrence it seems! I’ve been having conversations with people that have brought about deeper thinking for me. How amazing it is that God made us with minds and bodies that can be renewed, rewired and detoxed!
When you think of the ability for healing to come through the way we think and what we put into our bodies, it is so encouraging and hopeful! I had a conversation wit...

God cannot give us a happiness and peace apart from Himself, because it is not there. There is no such thing.

We were blessed, and with blessing comes responsibility.

P.S. my friend guided me toward reading her story. Such an overcomer. She died at age 29 recently.
I taught my ballet class today but forgot to get that SOTD which would have been more appropriate with her quote!

Exploration is how you discover what works.
Persistence is how you make the most of what already works.
What does your situation require? More exploration or more persistence?

Jesus didn't say, 'Blessed are those who care for the poor.' He said, 'Blessed are we where we are poor, where we are broken.' It is there that God loves us deeply and pulls us into deeper communion with himself.

SUSTAIN ME is an acronym that a health warrior named Barbara O’Neill coined as a way to think about our health. I love the basics of this philosophy because in a world where everything is quick fix in nature and short-sighted, this is practical and wise.
Sunshine, Use of Water, Sleep, Trust in Divine Power, Abstaining, Inhale, Nutrition, Moderation, and Exercise are the categories that make up SUSTAIN ME.
I won’t get into the details but each category has s...

For Jesus, there are no countries to be conquered, no ideologies to be imposed, no people to be dominated. There are only children, women and men to be loved.

You saw. We did. 
This weekend wraps up Sugar Detox.
You probably saw all the advertisements I posted ahead of time. So, what happened as we are wrapping up 21 days of no sugar?
Reports from participants:
15 pounds lost (one person....!!! and counting)
Our glory is hidden in our pain, if we allow God to bring the gift of himself in our experience of it.

Good morning!
Wisdom and Discernment seem to be a lost art these days. Most of what we see and here in the media and news is controversial, changes and causes panic, mistrust and unsettled emotions. Everyone has an opinion. Everyone thinks they are right. These opinions change on a dime, though, which can leave everyone perplexed and anxious.
During a group devotional I was reading with friends, I jotted down some things that grounded me in Truth. The Truth according to God. These...

It may be a repeat, but one of my favorites:
It would seem our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased.
