Day by day, as I'm climbing this mountain back to health, I'm growing so aware of all the ways that God's provided ALL the things I need to finally succeed in reaching my goals & being restored to health through what He created for food...
...accountability, through my (few) raw friends I see face to face, & the many I'm making on the RawFoodTalk message board {still haven't been able to afford to order Alyssa's book & DVD, but it's moving up on my list of priorities!}, it's become a place to share my struggles & adventures as I learn to do this consistantly...far-away-friends I've never met who encourage, educate & pray for me!
(As I'm able to for those just learning...what a joyful honor!)
...And who knew how much it would make a difference?!!?
I hadn't really realized just how much I needed accountability with this...
...when I had it before, at RawFoodBootCamp, I only let it in so far...& I allowed other things to interfere...but now it's all so much clearer, & now that I'm truly, fully ready, it's making such a difference!
Support, in many forms...though encouragement, sharing recipes, food, rides to the health food store & resources as needed...(even my sweet sis, who's working on getting out of debt, has been sacrifically helping me out financially to be able to afford to stay raw & get the things I need, knowing I was only able to afford it half the month most of the time! That in itself has spurred me on, & really lifted off the stressful aspects of doing this so I can finally get more consistant! {No more excuses or reasons NOT to be!*grin*} I'm finally sharing the link with her to this blog, letting her in further, to really understand what this journey has been (& is!) like for me! & she wants to learn more about & go raw!!! Woohoo!!! Can't wait to see all it does for her, too!!! Hi, Chrissy!!! Your goona love it!!!
{***Waving happily**)
People who believe in me, & are encouraging me to keep pressing on, & not give up, no matter what! Wow! What a major blessing! So many times, I've kinda given up on myself (not really, not permanently, of course, but until I could get refocussed, recommitted, & re-motivated! Which has taken anywhere from a week to a year!) but now, whenever I'm tempted to do so, I just can't, for the sake of those standing behind me! To know that others are in this with me, {as much as they can be!} is really the wind beneath my wings!
So all this is just to say I'm counting my blessings tonight, naming them one by one, & so many people have been impacting my life, I just wanted to publically thank you! You ARE making a big difference in my life, & soon the evidence will be revealed!!!
May God pour out His blessings upon your life a hundredfold in return!!!
I'm STAYIN' RAW!!!!
