If you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever -the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. – John 14:16-17
He who has My Commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him.” – John 14:21
Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him. – John 14:23
But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you. -John 14:26
For everything there is a season. A time for every purpose under heaven: A time to be born, And a time to die; A time to plant, And a time to pluck what is planted; A time to kill, And a time to heal; A time to break down, And a time to build up; A time to weep, And a time to laugh; A time to mourn, And a time to dance; A time to cast away stones, And a time to gather stones; A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing; A time to gain, And a time to lose; A time to keep, And a time to throw away; A time to tear, And a time to sew; A time to keep silence, And a time to speak; A time to love, And a time to hate; A time of war, And a time of peace.
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
This morning I’m up early, thinking I had a Zoom call with my Noom coach for my health. As I often have done in my life, I got my days and times mixed up so have realized my appointment is not until tomorrow morning.
However I want to blog today about how good it feels to let go of groups or activities that take up time in life yet caused me stress of time being given to causes I no longer have an interest in.
Such as, a neighborhood group I was the secretary for, where I had to take the minutes of the meetings and create the newsletter among other things, has finally been let go from my life.
The people were nice, don’t get me wrong, but I know I’ll be moving out of the city I live in here in Washington state to another sizable city in Washington so I no longer want to be wrapped up in city news and how it’s effecting my neighborhood.
One less group to belong to and all the accompanying tasks I had volunteered to do. It helps me relax so I can focus on other things.
Another thing I let go is from managing an online social group around news in my city that I started when I was attempting to start a local news company. It didn’t get going due to my having another day job that took all the prime hours I could have been contacting people to gather information for news stories. It got to be too much. That social media group on NextDoor was a pain. Someone stepped up and took the reigns and I haven’t been back since.
I can’t tell you how much better I feel to let those things go.
I encourage you to prioritize your lives if you haven’t already and let the things go that drain your energy and aren’t’ really serving you.
It may feel awkward to do so, but let them go. You may have time to relax, and find you have more energy and are happier during the day!
Food is the best thing to do to lose weight and get healthy. It starts with food.
Now that I am not doing keto, and not doing intermittent fasting, I’ve returned to eating more of a Mediterranean diet.
It actually gives me more energy to think and keep active during the day that I’m surprised I tolerated doing keto, when it wasn’t helping me feel better.
Keto made me feel sluggish and tired. I’m sure I ate too much fat and animal proteins.
Now that I am back to eating more veggies, fruits and whole grains like quinoa, my brain has fuel to go on.
I need the complex carbs to feel good.
Here’s a video I made today. It shows what I ate for lunch today.
It needed something else to add taste, maybe grated Parmesan cheese or some Tajin chili lime spice.
I’m not uploading the YouTube video because I prefer that the originator gets the web traffic. I believe that’s fair.
I also take nattokinase, “natto”, which I heard about many years ago. It’s an enzyme from fermented soybeans.
Medical science in this country does not push natural supplements, they push prescription drugs. So I’ve searched for cures and natural treatments online. Even physicians and doctors who are health service providers create over-the-counter supplements they develop for their stores. I prefer to shop at these stores.
If you’ve been jabbed, I hope you can use some of the suggestions in this video and that they help you get your health back.
The LORD is my strength and song, And He has become my salvation. – Psalm 118:14
Although the date is incorrect in this reading, I did not start on January 1. This is a 365 day bible in order to finish reading the bible in a year. This is where I am today.
