A Change in My Path

Image
A couple of years ago I came to a mountain on my path.  I asked God to move the mountain; He had me camp beside it.  Earlier this year He led me around the mountain and I came upon a river. By this time after getting used to the mountain, I wanted to walk through these waters to pass through, continuing on my path. But God did not part the waters to allow me through. He said wait. I waited beside those waters until this recently. I got up expecting God to turn me to a different direction without looking back.  I knew months ago I would not be crossing those waters. In February I received confirmation of that through a good friend, our pastor’s sermon, and words of friends from church.  On the way home from church one day I prayed about what I was supposed to do - how and when I was to turn from these waters and take a different path.   After years on the same path, I knew it was going to be bittersweet and strange - not just for me, but for my family - to...

My Weight Watchers is Not the Same as Your Weight Watchers

Image
As some of you may remember, I have tried Weight Watchers several times.  I had success after my first two children on Weight Watchers, except I always got pregnant while doing the program and had to stop the program.  But when I joined again a few years ago after moving to Tennessee, I ran into some problems.  First, I was still new to town, and the group did not quite have that welcoming feel to it.  Second, we had already made the switch to more natural/organic foods.  So I included eating 'real foods' or 'whole foods' within my POINTS and I was ostracized at the meetings because I would not drink the diet drinks or eat the 'low-fat' and 'fat-free' versions of food.  And finally, when Weight Watchers switched to the POINTSPlus program, I began gaining weight. I want to lose weight, but I don't want to do it by eating chemicals, processed foods, or genetically modified foods.  So this month when a group of my friends decided to join Weight Wa...

What is Christmas really about?

I find it ironic that some people who celebrate Halloween also want to spread the rumor that Christmas was not originally about Jesus (especially those who do so with a Christmas tree and nativity scene up in their homes).  Christmas has always been about Jesus' birth.   Christmas has not always been celebrated on December 25th - religious leaders could not agree on a date.  According to the History Channel, Pope Julius I chose December 25th - and the holiday was then called the Feast of the Nativity.  Other sites credit other people with selecting the date, but all the sites I found agree Christmas was originally called The Feast of the Nativity.   It is commonly held December 25th was chosen for Christmas to absorb the many pagan celebrations that centered around the winter solstice.  However certain sites paint a vastly different scene on why and how the holiday was celebrated than other sites.  The sites I keep seeing people point to say t...
