Congratulations Beth!  I hope your relationship with the Lord is as blessed as mine has been.

In other random news...

I have finished my 10 raw/vegan detox.

The first couple days were hard, but the pay off was worth it.

I am so glad I pushed through the hard days and made it all 10. 

But friends, you can bet your bottoms that I was at the Starbucks drive-thru at 7:30am to get my coffee.  The surprising thing was, it didn't taste as good as I had hoped.

I also indulged in pizza on Sunday night, and some dessert yesterday.

I am still eating 2 raw meals a day and doing my best to keep my snacks raw.  (Either fruit, veggies, or nuts.)  I am committing to doing this better through the rest of the week.

I did lose some weight.

I did feel better.

I did have a better mood/attitude. (After the first 3 days.)

I did enjoying trying new things.

I did find some great new snacks.  (Banana and almond butter.)

 

I did not sleep well.  I had crazy dreams and was very restless.

I did not get headaches.

I did not like not eating warm food.

I did not think I was going to make it all 10 days, but I did!

I am also so excited for this journey to continue.

Thankful Thursday - not a fan.

 I started this post yesterday, when it was Thursday and never got around to finishing it.

So can we pretend it is Thursday?

Ok, Thanks!

 

Rob and I started reading this book about a month ago.

It is call not a fan, by Kyle Idleman.

Rob first bought it back in July when we were in Pikeville.

He read a few chapters and was really intrigued.

When we got home from Pikeville it sat on his night stand for a couple months.

Then we decided to read it together.

I thought, I might learn a thing or two.

But the subtitle is Becoming a Completely Ccommitted Follower of Jesus.

If you would have asked me a few months ago if I was a completely committed follower of Jesus I would have confidently said yes.

If you would have asked how I knew I would have said because

I go to church,

go to house church,

read the Bible,

and love the Lord.

While all those things are good and evidence of someone following Jesus this book, along with scripture, is showing me so much more.

 

It has been life changing.

 

It is not a deep, theological book.

But it cuts straight to the point and the heart.

 

We started doing it with house church last night and I am super excited

 to watch the Lord continue to work.

 

I would love to share this great book with all of you.

So I am going a giveaway!

All you have to do is comment to this post.

Then Monday I will pick one lucky winner!

Good luck and have a great weekend friends!

I Can't Comprehend

 

Yesterday morning as I was driving to work

I turned the corner

looked to my left

 and saw this beautiful sunrise

 

And, I kid you not, as soon as I did this song came on

 

 

I can't comprehend your infinitely beautiful and perfect love

Oh I've dreamed dreams of majesty as brilliant as a billion stars

But they are never bright enough

 

You are Holy

Oh, Holy

Holy, Holy, Holy

 

I will sing a song for you my God with everything I have within me

But it's never loud enough after all

 

You are Holy

Oh, Holy

Holy, Holy, Holy

 

Heaven and Earth are full of your glory

My soul it overflows with your glory

Oh blessed is He who reigns, full of your glory

My cup, it can not contain all of your glory

Hosanna we are found after all you are

 

You are Holy

Oh, Holy

Holy, Holy, Holy

 

I can't comprehend your infinitely beautiful

 

You Are by David Crowder Band

 

I was in complete awe. 

The really funny thing was, the kids lesson for house church last night was about how we can look at creation and know Jesus.

God is so good!
