My child, I will not be put in a box or time frame. I am outside of time and ever present. Don’t rush what we have together. Live every moment with Me. Let Me invade your day, take control and live through you. I want to share My all with you. Open your entire being to Me and watch what happens. Your life will never be the same.
Each and every child of Mine is precious and an intrical part of My spiritual building. I am the Chief Cornerstone, but you and those around you are part of what I’m building. Never tear down, only build up. Strengthen and encourage, affirm and exhort. Stop criticizing and judging. That is not what I’ve called you to. Where correction is necessary, do it in love. Where discipline is required, use humility. Always see others more important than yourself and you will do well. Guard your heart from pride and always share My love. I came to bring you life and joy. Live an abundant life and make joy in Me a high priority.
Ephesians 2:19-22 John 10:10 John 17:13
My child, I have called you and kept you. I lavish My mercy, peace and love on you. You are Mine and you can enter in to My rest anytime. You just need to draw close to Me and release all the cares of the world over to Me. Your shoulders are not broad enough to carry that load. I am your strength. Give them all to Me and enter in to My rest.
Jude 1&2 Hebrews 4:3a
My child, as you are faithful in the small things, I will bring you more. With more comes more responsibility. Remain in Me and I will give you the ability and strength you’ll need for the outpouring to come. Revival is coming and the harvest is ripe. I need laborers. You will see much fruit as you stay close to Me and remain faithful.
Matthew 25:23 Matthew 9:37-38
This is a question that I struggled with when a coach asked me this back a few months ago. My target calories were 1300 per day. I was bound and determined to lose some fat and thought that this would do it. Well now it’s July and I have finally realized that I wasn’t eating enough calories! Since then, I’ve started eating around 1800 calories for most days. I eat a plant-based vegan diet getting around 100 grams of protein a day. I eat a lot of green leafy veggies, as well as high protein grains, beans, lentils, soy, almond butter in small quantities, some nuts & seeds and rice, hemp and pea protein. I’ve been watching my measurements move in the right direction. The scale is irrelevant to me so I only use that as a tool to check my body fat. This coach also helped break my scale addiction as well. I’m so thankful for the support and encouragement to get my head wrapped around the higher calories, dump the ‘ideal’ scale weight and hit the weights HARD AND HEAVY!
I’m starting to see some definition and I KNOW I am fueling my body, building muscle and melting the fat off. I have more energy than when I was in my 20’s and 30’s! This was a huge revelation to me. My moods are no longer affected by a dumb number on a scale and my clothes are nice and loose! Thank goodness for the sale racks. I just found a pair of new jeans for $26.00 after a $10.00 off coupon!
All things are possible with God! You just gotta believe Him!
I’m 52, soon to be 53, and there is no turning back from this lifestyle. I LOVE it!
Anyone struggling with the question of calories? Try fueling your body with high quality foods, hit the weights and see what happens. Know that your body will try to hold on to every bit of fat it can when it thinks you’re in starvation mode. Avoid that at all cost! Build up some muscle and the fat will fade away when you get the balance right. Feel free to email me with any questions.
My child, the choices you make affect those around you and have lasting repercussions. Choose wisely in the big things as well as the small. People around you are watching. Don’t thing for a minute your actions won’t go unnoticed. You have more influence than you think. Stay humble and stay close to Me. I give you all the wisdom you need.
My child, do the work of a servant. Have a good attitude when you are called to do the more menial tasks. In humility be willing to lay down your life for another. In doing, you are storing up treasures in heaven. Life is full of opportunities to be bitter or better. Choose the better way. Choose to serve with a happy heart.
My child, now is the time to press in and pray. There is a fork in the road and some that you are praying for are wrestling with which way to go. Pray that they choose Me, the only path to life. Your prayers are effective and powerful. Keep believing and keep praying My child. You will see fruit from your prayers. My desire is that none perish, but for all to come to repentance.
James 5:16 2 Peter 3:9
My child, don’t let the distractions of the day rule your heart. Keep your focus on Me. I will lead you and make your path straight as you seek Me above everything else. Remain in My Presence throughout the day. I have much to show you. Don’t let the world interfere with our intimacy.
My child, the more often you submit to Me, the more often you will encounter Me. The more you lay down your life, the more I can live through you. When you hold back, I must hold back the blessings I have intended for you. Release it all and enter into the flow of My Holy Spirit. There is no greater adventure in this life than allowing Me to live through you.
