I thoroughly enjoyed spending a few hours with my favorite aunt, Shelia Holmes, rearranging our booth at Kaleidoscope, eating a yummy lunch together, and just catching up today! Sometimes people underestimate the power of face-to-face interaction with loved ones! It refreshes the soul!
I have to say, I feel a little terrified by the thought of my 21 day sugar detox being over! Under its umbrella, I knew there were certain things that I just simply couldn't have. Now that I'm "on my own," I am afraid of myself, my will. I have prayed for a keen sense of knowing what is good for my body and what is not. Now that the toxins of sugar and artificial sweeteners have been cleansed from my body, I am more sensitive to these cues, but still have to test the waters a little. The ghost of diets past wants to remind me of my failures and make me relive them. The Ghost of diet future, my God who has already walked the path before me, desires to see me succeed! I'm choosing to trust Him! After all, I'm human, and humans are untrustworthy!
About a year ago, I read 1 Cor. 10:23, "Everything is permissible - but not everything is beneficial." Now that I am living the lifestyle for which the detox prepared me, I think that keeping this Scripture close to my heart might be a really smart thing! I have no real restrictions placed on what I can eat or drink, but not everything is good for me! Later in the chapter in verse 31, it says, "So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God." There you have it!
Blessings!
