Well its almost been a week now and our family has been eating vegan and mostly raw fruits vegetables nuts and seeds. Its been amazing. I am so thankful I have some good cook books ( or rather "uncook books") or I think I would just end up eating salad every meal!
We are taking a season to try to be as healthy as we can be as a family, a season of alignment, getting priorities back on track and and fasting and prayer. I feel more hungry for him than I have felt in a long time. My heart needs JESUS! Please keep me in prayer that I will encounter him in a new way this season. I really want to grow and know him more.
This is what I am meditating on today:: Psalm 42 (The Message)
" A white-tailed deer drinks from the creek; I want to drink God, deep draughts of God.
I'm thirsty for God-alive. I wonder, "Will I ever make it-arrive and drink in God's presence?" I'm on a diet of tears-tears for breakfast, tears for supper.
All day long people knock at my door, Pestering, "Where is this God of yours?"
These are the things I go over and over, emptying out the pockets of my life.
I was always at the head of the worshiping crowd, right out in front,
Leading them all, eager to arrive and worship,
Shouting praises, singing thanksgiving-celebrating, all of us, God's feast!
Why are you down in the dumps, dear soul?
Why are you crying the blues?
Fix my eyes on God— soon I'll be praising again.
He puts a smile on my face. He's my God.
When my soul is in the dumps, I rehearse everything I know of you,
From Jordan depths to Hermon heights, including Mount Mizar.
Chaos calls to chaos, to the tune of whitewater rapids.
Your breaking surf, your thundering breakers crash and crush me.
Then God promises to love me all day, sing songs all through the night!
My life is God's prayer.
Sometimes I ask God, my rock-solid God, "Why did you let me down?
Why am I walking around in tears, harassed by enemies?"
They're out for the kill, these tormentors with their obscenities,
Taunting day after day, "Where is this God of yours?"
Why are you down in the dumps, dear soul?
Why are you crying the blues?
Fix my eyes on God— soon I'll be praising again.
He puts a smile on my face. He's my God. "

I'm so proud of how hard you've been working. You amaze me. I am so proud of well you did in your exercise today, and how significantly you improved the atmosphere of our house. You are fiery and you are an atmosphere changer. Thank you for your post. Your words and the verses you posted have been inspiring me as I read them. I love you and I'm so proud of you!!! :o)
Way to go! keep us posted on how it goes!
hey! I am totally honored to be a bridesmaid for Erin's wedding, but since I am due January 26th I don't think I'll be able to fly out that close to the due date. I am really sad, but I just don't know how to work out the timing.
I hope to do all I can from a distance, though!
this is awesome. i found your blog by reading the comments on beth hasz's blog (used to live in longview and go to church on the rock and be involved with teen mania from a distance, so that's the connection). anyway, we just recently went back to eating right (i.e. mostly vegan). what do you think about posting recipes on your blog for all to see? :) i'd be interested to see what you are eating.
