Cleansing - Day 5

Today was a success for the new cooking master.  I cooked meat for the first time by myself - seasoned and everything!  My very tasty chicken (boneless & skinless) turned out lovely in a bed of stir-fried veggies.  The asparagus was better today, and I sauteed onions!  Tomorrow will be more of the same...

Why do we wait until time is almost over to do the things we had eons to do?  Asking "why?" really isn't important sometimes.  The important thing is that we start and keep going until it is finished.  How do you climb a mountain?  One step at a time...

Cleansing - Day 4

Today I ate the TJ-soup (green onions, tomatoes, green peppers, celery, cabbage) I made.  It was surprisingly very tasty.  I also bought cantaloupe that was super sweet.  I drank my soy milk instead of skim, and it wasn't that bad.  Tomorrow, I will try my hand at chicken and more veggies.  If nothing else, I'm definitely learning how to cook this week.

I'm listening to Pastor Charles Stanley talk about walking away from God.  The main reason for this cleanse to to walk towards God and allow Him to guide my path.  A wandering spirit not lead by God is a wasted spirit.

Cleansing - Day 3

Today was easier than yesterday.  Eating fruits and vegetables add variety, BUT the baked potato with butter was the best meal ever last night!  This is much harder than what I thought it would be.  I have cooked more in the past two days than I probably have in my entire life.  Kidding, but I really have cooked more vegetables than I ever have in my life ;^)

In bible study we are reading The Shack by William P. Young, and I missed the first day today because I'm not feeling well.  If you have not read it, it is a MUST READ and one to keep in the library. Who is God to you?  God is waiting to meet all of us our shack where He will have a conversation with us.

Cleansing - Day 2

Fasting is a journey that you take spiritually, mentally and emotionally... Today was easier than yesterday.  I ate more.  I even cooked squash, asparagus, broccoli, edamame and a vegetable soup!  Yes, you read correctly - I COOKED! 

Spiritually, I know that God was and is with me.  He will honor what we do to get closer to Him - to hear from Him - as along as it is aligned with His word. I pray that I feel His awesome presence more and more!

Cleansing - Day 1

I am 'cleansing' this week. Today was all the fruit I could eat. I am so hungry. Tomorrow is all the veggies I can eat. I'm hoping that they will be more filling than the fruit yesterday. Word of wisdom: NEVER watch t.v. while dieting, fasting, cleansing or whatever. Subliminal suggestions are all over the place... Mind over Matter..
