This is no easy post to write or share. Thank you for your boldness and bravery! Thank you for being willing to be a voice for the Syrians!

I love this line, "There is always something in your hand. An single act of faith, saying yes to WorldHelp challenged me to be brave.." So good! And your heart, thank you. :) I know as others are challenged, as you have been, lives will be changed for eternity through all of this!

All foods, that are actually "real" food, perhaps, are good and clean. But let's not leave out that many of the items on the grocery store shelves are filled with man made and unnecessary additives, chemicals or genetically engineered ingredients that have addictive properties and wreck havoc on our health. And what about the amounts of chemicals being sprayed on the crops that are conventionally grown? And whether we like it or not, what we eat has an effect on our total well being, which you mentioned at the end.

I do believe God cares "what" we eat, just like I care what my children eat. I care that what they put in their mouth is nourishing their bodies, helping them grow and keeping them strong and healthy. And I care about educating them about making wise choices in their eating.

Though, I agree that eating is not spiritual, more like a discipline, the food we put in our mouth helps or hurts our immune system's chance of warring off sickness, disease, and aiding in ridding of toxins that enter our bodies through our food and our environment. And I rather be a healthy Christian than a sick one, and give my body the best fighting chance to stay healthy.

The Bible doesn't tell us what to eat, per say, but God does provide us wisdom to choose what profits most -- for His holy purpose in building His Kingdom.

I have little issue with your words, except that you may give license for people who are already struggling with their health and food choices, to continue. But I do have much issue with your image. I cannot be certain, but it looks like candy. How much actual "food" do you think is contained in each piece? And the amount of sugar and artificial coloring? And "it's all good?" Well it's not good for me, or my children. I dare say, unless it's fruit that has been dehydrated without chemicals and the portion pictured is being shared, it's not good for anyone.

Why not use an image with fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grain bread, and healthy livestock, instead?

I do appreciate your bullet points at the end of the post, and can take those words with me to help in my journey toward a healthy lifestyle.

I love this line..."But this waking up to God, discovering yourself in his house—it can happen anytime, anywhere. Without doors, without steeples. And sometimes even without people. "

And your one word, the greatest Name I know, JESUS!
My recent post Eyes to see… [Dream Again Day 7]

I love how you have a category for random :)

I am sad for you having your friend move away, but you share so beautifully His grace through all your struggles.

Sendin you a {{HUG}} and sharing some virtual cookies and coffee you missed, as I might be mistaken, but I didn't see you at FMFparty :)

My recent post To Walk and Wait in Surrender…

"It's much easier when everything is going your way and seemingly perfect." Yes, it is so much easier.

You have been such a grace-filled presence in my life. Thank you for all your encouragement. I love being part of your hellomornings group -- even if many mornings I am simply a wall flower :)

By the way... the picture at the top with you dancing with your daughter -- graceful... :)

I love this line,"Oh, I love the imperfections. My Jesus can work with those. He can do something with those." Yes, this. I am learning this more and more. It's only in my weakness that His is perfected. Yes, let's boast in our weakness and let His strength be perfected in us. Love your heart. I am so glad to be getting to know you :)
My recent post GRACEFUL {Five Minute Friday}

I love this, "There's the drive to change.
And then there's the determination to abide, to sit, to wait."

Even in the waiting there is change happening. The kind that God does gently and deeply within us.

I understood your words here :) Beautiful...

I love it when when speaks this way. He is so faithful to lead. Thank you for sharing your blessing with us :)

Oh, I am so glad I hopped on over. Coming from Getting Down With Jesus. What an amazing testimony of God's goodness. Surely, the Lord has great big plans for him. Praise God!
