What's in your mouth?

That is a question that I some time ask myself. Because there are moments when I put things into my mouth that shouldn't be there or I will let words come out that shouldn't be said. Whether it is the off limit foods or words of doubt I must be slow to speak and quick to listen! For the past few months I realize that I am what I eat, think, say, do, and pray. I do believe that the Lord want us to be mindful of things that is in our mouth. I reminded of David that said "I will bless the Lord at all times and HIS praise shall be in my mouth" So that is one thing that should be in our mouth. And yes I am going to say this and eating healthy should also be there! Now you know I wasn't going to let that past by!! I learned that I must eat to live and not live to eat. Okay I confess for years I live the opposite way I lived to eat. I use to dream of what I was eating the next day! and also when I prayed I made out my menu then! Now you know I had it bad. No I am not saying that one shouldn't eat, but I am saying that I was addicted to food! I was an emotional eater, always eating because I always stayed upset about something. I thank God for mercy, forgiveness, and grace. That's the reason I don't look down on others as they go through the struggle of trying to get healthy. Because God love is ONE SIZE FIT ALL!!! But even though He loves us and want the best for us , we must also do our part in presenting ourselves to the world as a reflection of Him. We must come together and encourage one another just like the other ones does. I know sometimes it isn't always easy to stay on the path of healthy eating, but we must in control of our flesh(that part of us that just want to do whatever it feel like). We must tell it what it will or will not do. We are God temple here in the earth and we must glorify Him in it. I also found out that I don't have to eat my way into the Kingdom!! And I can now make God presence my comfort food!

Moving Forward

Here I am again back to blogging! A little time has gone by since I've last posted my blog. But that will all change cause now I am back. I will tell you what have been going on with me since the last blog. Well my health has improved greatly and the doctor is real proud of me. I told her that it is the Lord doing and it is marvelous in my sight!! I have been doing my two miles walk at least five days a week and strength training three days a week. The trainer said only do the strength training every other day in order to give the muscles a chance to recuperate. I am also having my breakfast drink every morning which consist of a variety of fruit, veggies, Cinnamon , yogurt, water, and oatmeal! I know it sounds kind of weird but it is very filling and delicious. I like variety every since I was young I always mixed different drinks and foods together! I know that exercise alone won't bring about lasting change, but when I eat the God kind of food(fruit and vegetables) alone with the exercises I can't go wrong!!! The word said my people perish cause of the lack of knowledge, and it goes on to say they have rejected it! When we know better then we must do better. My teacher in high school always said that excuses is just like a but and everybody has one!! (excuse my words)I am rather hard on myself cause sometimes I get lazy and don't want to workout, but I still get up and go . I know that there is no good thing in my flesh. I have to tell flesh what it will do and not or what to eat and not to eat. I told someone the other day when they asked what drives me to be committed to getting healthy, I told them that I was driven by the pain in my legs and back. And by the headaches, swelling of my feet and the doctor report of diabetes(the doctor report) which was not the Lord's report. I went to the doctor last month and got high five from all the medical reports!!! with no medications for the past three months! I am not telling anyone to stop taking their meds! I asked myself who report do I believe the doctors or the word of God thereforth I chose to believe God report that says I am heal! I am free! His report says Victory!!! God sent His word to heal them!!! So what are you waiting for use that measure of faith that God has given to all of us and Be Healed in His name. We had faith for salvation now use it for your healing in the mind soul and body. For His name sake.
