Jumping in!

I decided to jump in with both feet.  I have known I need to make some extreme changes if I want to turn my health issues around. I have been trying to make changes here and there, but it seems like I was taking 3 steps forward and 2 back. I am so tired of it. Yesterday, after spending hours listening to the 3 doctors taking part in the Daniel Plan, I knew I was in. They reinforced what I knew God had already been speaking to me.  I have been researching and praying what I could be doing to improve my health for literally months.  I am ready to do whatever I need to do to help me improve my life.  I want to be around to have a positive influence on each of my children and my grandchildren.  I am committing to making several changes over the next 52 weeks.  The first two changes are ones that both my endocrinologist and my naturopath have already encouraged me try, but I was never really motivated to commit to them and that is give up both caffeine and sugar. They are both triggers for my autoimmune disease and even though I have cut way down, they still have a hold on me and have a negative impact on my health.  Since I decided to do this, I thought I might as well go wheat free and dairy free as well and see if I don't feel better with them out of my system. Oiy! So I spent my afternoon cleaning my cupboards out and making a plan for the coming week.  This will be a good thing...

"Do you not know that your body is a temple

of the Holy Spirit within you, 

whom you have from God? 

You are not your own,  

for you were bought with a price. 

So glorify God in your body."

1 Cor. 6:19
