Day 57

Well, it certainly has been a very interesting day today and I am feeling better.  Not 100% mind you, but better.  I have started to really listen to my body and I need to back off the bikram somewhat and start doing restorative yoga also, I am also eating vegetarian...and taking supplements!  What you don't know about me is that I have scoffed at supplements and also vegetarians my whole life!  But this water retention is driving me crazy and it is keeping my blood pressure really high.  I learned today that detoxing will take on many forms for a while, but I need to be loving my body through it.  Thanking my "self" for the hard work it is going through.  I guess this could be about self-love now couldn't it?  See how GOD is inter-twining all these things together to bring me into the Full Life HE wants me to have? Full of HIS grace, HIS mercy, HIS power......how many things can I list that I have heard or read but never truly understood until now?  So............not mad at my body anymore, as I laugh to myself! 
I am finding this blog becoming my time with GOD...I get up in the morning and immediately start doing my yoga then its on to the rest of the day and finally at the end of the day, it is HIS time.  I am praying more, seeking out HIS wisdom more, trusting that voice inside and knowing it is HIM more, basically having more and more of HIM in me and the faith to believe it.  I am just starting to read the whole account of the death and resurrection of Jesus and my bible has a chart that you can read all 4 gospel accounts.  Powerful stuff thinking about the last supper and Judas' betrayal.  Can't wait to read more tomorrow.  And I love my Beth Moore daily devotional...it is her praying 'God's Word Day by Day'.  I sometimes can't believe how it always fits the day.......here is what I got today:
"I am your dearly loved child. I am from You, LORD GOD, and have overcome the influences of the evil kingdom, because the ONE who is in me is greater than the one who is in the world (1John 4:4)".  
Always amazed, full of wonder, loving my KING!

so....day 57, at vegetarian all day, took my supplements, did bikram, actually stayed focused all day, cried a little,.........rest of life????free from the smokescreen!

Hoping that this is your day 1, praying all the time for you!  May HIS peace surround you and give you much needed rest.  Lovingly, Jules
