Day 14

Well, I'll be honest, I need a lot more whole food recipes that satisfy all family members. The 8 yr old would become a frutarian if I let him....he has stated that he very much misses meat and pasta. What he doesn't realize is that we can make our own pasta with fresh ground einkorn berries! So I may do that for Shabbat as a treat. We have enjoyed vegan chili with spaghetti squash, I think everyone will eat this, zucchini boats without the cheese on top (I miss the cheese!) everyone likes the zucchini boats and there is a very hearty kale salad I make that the 17 yr old and I like, the 2 of us also like the quinoa salad recipe I found. I have noticed that because everyone gets hungry faster there's a lot more grazing going on and less focus on meals. I still just eat twice a day that hasn't changed. Guacamole is another thing eaten a lot more of by everyone. I just eat a small bowl of it but the others eat it with cucumbers or carrots. Homemade french fries has been eaten a time or two, sweet potato fries is a favorite by everyone. I've had to hide the dates because apparently dates filled with peanut butter has been discovered....oy...LOW sugar family....low sugar! I say this with humor because I'm pretty proud of them all. They've done pretty amazing taking all the supplements religiously and eating whole foods without condiments. They are realizing how good actual food can taste without condiments! I will admit, I can't wait to eat meat!!! We buy it straight from a farm, I know it's not junk. Anyhow, just a little update, things are going well. I feel like my brain has more energy to tackle challenging things that often I would wait for a more adultier adult to deal with. Like I have some spice and a desire to try some new things. Possibly this has come about because my digestive system seems to be resetting and I'm not worried about previous bowel issues when I'm out and about. I'm feeling more confident in my body even as I heal from a siezed up back. I'm going to try to skip the back brace on Shabbat. I need to remember to prioritize the stretches and exercises every day even when I feel good and then add in the treadmill again. We have 1 more week until we've completed 21 days on Lucinda's Comprehensive Parasite Cleanse, spoken of in her book Natural Herbal Therapy. She's been walking us through this journey and been available for questions every step of the way. Doing this cleanse is just the first step to healing my body. '

New Beginnings

Image
I've got to say, I really like new beginnings. It's the end of the 7th Biblical month and even though it's kind of the middle of the year, it's the beginning of the new Torah cycle all around the world. We have the opportunity to read it anew and learn more with each cycle, going a bit deeper each year we read through it. As a family, we've read through the Torah portion at least 10 times, but we haven't read through the entire Bible that many times. This year we are reading every night after supper and following the BYNA reading plan found HERE Also new to us (not brand new, but it's been a long time), is that we are hosting Shabbats in our home. I kept getting asked if there was a Shabbat group in town and I would always say, "no, we drive 1hr-2hrs away to join one." Well, that's just not realistic anymore. If there is a need in town for a Shabbat group, AWESOME!!! We'll open our home until we are too big and then we'll find a bi...

Next Step in my Health Journey.

Well it's time to take the plunge. It will be Shavuot this weekend and because as a family we believe that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, we are taking a step in our spiritual and health journey that we've never taken before. We've wanted to do it many times before but have always caved and given up when we've experienced hurdles that seem to hard to jump over. I could beat myself up and think of this as failure OR I could embrace the idea that Abba's timing is perfect and we just weren't ready to do this before....it's a very real battle going on in my mind this week as I source all the things we need to take this first step in cleaning up. So what exactly does all of this mean? It means we are going back to Scripture to define our food. We are drastically ditching the ultra-processed products in our pantry and going back to whole foods. This I believe has been a roadblock in my personal healing journey and I am tired of it. I'm tired of ...

The Bible From a Medical Perspective/Medicine From a Biblical Perspective-Dr Strydom

Image
After a year of going through the many videos and reading through the articles and book by Dr. MK Strydom, I'm finally at a point where it's time to put what I have been learning into practice. I've been sharing on Facebook a lot of the things I've been learning and that has generated some great conversations! But the bottom line is, I/we need to die to our fleshly desires if we want our lamp filled with oil and to have extra to last until Yeshua returns. I now understand why we can't share our oil with others, all I can do is encourage others to take the journey of sanctification along with me. All the videos for her conference are found on Youtube here, She has other videos on her Youtube channel as well regarding End Times, but I truly do think that that subject is a distraction from intimacy with Abba. He unveils various different patterns in Scripture to each of us, and because of the variety of our backgrounds, there is just as must variety in our interpre...
