June 26, 2012 - Change One Thing

Good morning to all, Yesterday was a very long day, but a good one. I was up at 4 am and dressing to meet Laura, Chip, and Parker for his surgery. He did great! The surgery to repair the ASD went absolutely perfectly. About 1:00 yesterday we got to see him and he was just waking up, really pink and doing well. Praise God. Thanks for so many who prayed for him. This Sunday is the share-a-dish at my house. If you are coming, could you let me know? We are planning to meet monthly to share and pray. I am believing God for new recipes and monthly breakthroughs as we pray for one another and for God's divine plan for our lives. If you're coming, bring a dish to share, 10 copies of the recipe, and you could get a 2 inch notebook to start a cookbook. That's what I plan to do. IF you have no dish to share, come anyway for accountability and prayer. Come on! The watermelon and spaghetti squash plants are growing like crazy now! It's amazing how just ONE variable can "break" free those chains that were stopping growth. The new soil worked like a charm! If you're stuck today in your health plan and you keep saying, "but, I am doing everything like I always have," ask yourself......what ONE thing could you change to see if that is the issue??? Maybe that's smaller portions, maybe more OR less water, maybe decreasing the amount of nuts due to the salt intake, ask........ The Bible says it's the little foxes that spoil the vine. Try changing ONE thing at a time to see where the issue lies. I realized eating nuts daily made my feet swell from the increased sodium. Not only have I limited the amount I consume in a week, I now purchase them raw. This ONE thing did indeed cause the swelling in my feet to decrease. If you feel you're not being as successful as you'd like, I encourage you to look for ONE thing right now - address it - watch to see a change and then if something else is the issue - change it. :) This is a life-long journey for us and life brings change. So, like Joyce Meyer says, if the situation isn't going to change - you must change." I got the results from my lab work before camp and it was really good! While my bad cholesterol was up a little (maybe all the half/half in my coffee - I am looking for an alternative to this) my good cholesterol was SO perfect it counteracted the other. FOUR great blood reports now. YEA! I am so happy to be healthy. Are you keeping up with your health checks? PK PS - let me know if you're coming Sunday night. We are meeting from 6-7:30. If you're coming, try to bring dishes/recipes that we could use for the 4th of July.
