It's exciting to start a new day when life is in order. I'm thankful for God redirecting my steps.

My thinking had to be changed a full 180 degrees, but it was done in the blink of an eye. I knew God was at work in my journey to good health; I just had to be patiently waiting as I hovered close to Him.

God's love is beyond measure.

Today is the beginning of the second week of my new eating lifestyle. I don't remember when I've felt so good.

What is most surprising is how satisfying the food is. No longer am I rattling the cupboards looking for something else, then looking for something else..... (My food cravings were bordering on insanity!)

It doesn't surprise me--though I marvel at--God's goodness. He is faithfully leading me into good heath.

I've been on sabbatical; our computer has been down!

I have never felt better! This eating program is fully agreeing with my system, though it's not the way my flesh would chose to eat. I'm still adjusting to "eating to live, not living to eat."

I thank God for His daily guidance in my life. I can live in peace knowing He is in control (when the flesh is yielded).

Yesterday was a test. It was very difficult because of the busyness at work.

I came home so hungry, because I didn't have time to make my special lunch. Last night I made it ahead, so it is ready for me to eat at lunch time today. I can no longer just pop something(s) in my mouth!

This is going to stretch me in the discipline area of my life. God knows me best; it must be an area that needs attention!

May 5, 2008, is a new beginning for me.

I spent part of the weekend learning a new way of eating, and today is my first day. This is something I've never tried before. After listening, reading, and praying, I think this is exactly what my body needs. It is being done under a doctor's care, and I'm still taking all me prescribed medication--but, hopefully, not for long! If I can stick with this, it will be a win/win for me.

A few days ago I was wandering, but always staying close to God. This weekend He gave me a nudge.

As I am thankful for Mondays, I'm equally thankful for Fridays. It's good to close out a week.

I've had a great week as far as work goes, but a bad week for personal accomplishments. I know God has this all under control; I know He has the answer.

I am wandering around right now but staying close to the Master.

I've had some scares with my eyes lately. It feels like I have someone else's glasses on.

Of course, I think of my diabetes right away. It is going to make it easier to stay away from carbs today as I feel I'm on overload. Lunch will be a couple hard-boiled eggs; supper will be protein as well.

It is good to do what is right--always. I know that; so why don't I?
