And the Journey continues....

Day 15 of 21

The detox phase of our nutritional cleanse is over and today we head into the third phase and final week.

In two weeks, I have lost 15.5 pounds and my beloved has lost 10.7 pounds.  Through healthy and clean eating of real foods, fruits and vegetables, proper hydration and healthy organic supplements we have reclaimed our bodies natural balance, released the unwanted compounds that were holding our sytems back and began the detoxification process.

Last night before dinner we drank our last detox shake and this morning we begin the process of restoring our digestive systems and our other internal processes through more clean eating, hydration and healthy supplements so they can operate at thier maximum efficiency.  

This cleasnse was the jumpstart that both John and I needed to help us reach our goals. He is headed towrds ONEderland and is just over 5 pounds away from reaching his goal and am determined to lose another 50 pounds this year and just over 34 pounds away from my goal.

- we are losing weight
- we have more energy
- our skin is clearer andhealthier
- we are learning new recipes, some we like, some not so much
- we are learning more about nutrition and food as fuel for our bodies
- we are sleeping better
- our digestion is better

And the list goes on.  Bottom line, we are improving our overall health inside and out every single day.   And the grace and the gift of that cannot be measured!

Here is to the start of another amazing day!  Thank you Jesus!

  A little break from making St. Joseph's bread for a reflection on keeping my focus on Jesus.

No matter what I can always find Joy in the Journey

This morning I did my prayers and readings in my prayer room and then went outside to enjoy some time in the backyard oasis while I shared my reflections on today's Jesus Calling by Sarah Young.  And today's reading always reminds me of one of my favorite books " Hinds Feet on High Places" by Hanna Hurnard. I believe that the journey to the mountaintop, the experiences along the way, the gorgeous views and the beauty that it seen on the climb enriches the experience not only along the way up and when I get to the top and take in the beauty of God's nature all around me.  It also fortifies me for the climb back down. While I would love to stay on the mountaintop, I know that I will have to make the trek back down.  And what a blessing to take it all with me on the way down and and beyond for whatever comes next I am back in the valley.               
Today's resounding message in my morning readings and reflections is to let go of control and to trust and surrender all to the ONE who created me and as scripture says .   "For I know the plans I have for you, says the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.  Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you."   Jeremiah 29:11-12   Can you relate? Trust and Surrender
