Hi everyone!
Last post I spoke about my eating habits and how I seemed to
be feeling lethargic/meh/bored with my choices. I’ve actually followed the
little guidelines I wrote down in my previous post and can honestly say I feel a lot better
consuming less sugar, caffeine and wheat. And guess what? I haven’t touched a bowl of cereal before
bed in nearly two weeks! BUT, I will admit I
did bake a cake in the middle of the week and had a slice or two :x though, I am not
guilty about it! I’m glad I’ve been more conscious of my whole food
intake and believe that a delicious piece of peach upside down cake (I didn’t take
pictures, sorry guys!) is okay to indulge in once in a while. The cool thing is
that the cake I made contained two whole eggs! After eating the cake I did not feel cramps in my stomach at all. It
was kind of like a victorious moment considering eggs have been absent in my
diet for well over a year. I’m incredibly intrigued to try a whole egg fresh
out of the pan with a sprinkle of herbs and salt + pepper. Will it upset me? I
won’t know if I try it and that’ll be another story for another day...
Other than eating, this week I’ve been finishing up my premarital homework and
have come across some very interesting realizations. The chapters that stood out to me focused on
evaluating your prayer life and bible study practice. It helped me realize the areas
in my life that I needed to improve and to seek God for strength in those places. I learned that I
need to pray more through all areas in my life, for the people I love, the
president, our nation and the world's events. I learned that prayer grants us with the
spirit of wisdom. (Ephesians 1:17) The wisdom needed to discern false teachings
and to comprehend the mystery of the gospel to share with unbelievers. (Ephesians
6:19) Overall the whole study on prayer
and bible reading opened my eyes to be more involved with my relationship with
Jesus, and I was so blessed to have received that wakeup call through those
chapters. I really look forward to Wednesday when we actually go over our notes
as a couple with our counselors, Esperanza and Mike.
Well that’s all I have on my mind today, perhaps I’ll have a recipe of the delicious smoothies now that the weather is finally heating up. Aren’t you glad summer is here? I know I am!!
