Until the last seven years, I used my microwave to heat, thaw, and warm foods like 90% of Americans do. We joked about zapping our food; unfortunately, I never considered how "ZAPPING" my food was the literal truth.The microwave was an invention by The Nazis during the Soviet invasion for convenience because transporting the cooking fuel was an issue, and they were cooking in mass quantities. 

We are ALL influencers! Positively or negatively, everyone influences someone, whether you think you are or not. I pray the Lord will help me take the responsibility of influencing others for Him seriously.

There was a noticeable difference in the children of Israel that King Nebuchadnezzar requested be brought back during the Babylonian siege on Jerusalem.He wanted the children of the elite kings and princes because they had no blemishes, were well-favored, skillful in all wisdom, cunning in knowledge, understood science, and had the ability to stand in the palace.Once the children were brought to the eunuchs, the King, having no clue WHY they were so intelligent and healthy, appointed them a daily diet of his delicacies. 

I know organizing a home is a springtime project but spring is almost over and I want to make sure you're ready.When you don't have your house in order, it causes A LOT of unnecessary confusion, frustration, arguments, and mental stress (which causes illness)!Getting organized before summer will leave you so much more relaxed and peaceful; ready to enjoy the summer season that will fly by so fast! Plus, think of all the time it will save you and time is so valuable!"Let all things be done decently and in order." I Corinthians 14:40

Don't you love those "fixer-upper" shows and the miraculous transformations? It's so exciting to see how things are renewed (made new again), brought back to life, and useful once again? Have you ever wished your health could be "renovated?" Updated, refreshed, and restored with new life put back into you?I'm not talking about temporal "makeovers" for vain reasons or rapid weight loss to be more attractive according to the world's standards, but to sufficiently serve those in our realm of influence- to be a sharpened tool or worthy vessel "unto good works!"

The struggle to make change is REAL! If you want to see your toddler self reappear, try changing your bad food habits. Your mind will fight you every step of the way!Most everyone will agree they need to eat better. They may have a serious brush with death and decide they need to change their eating habits, but that only lasts a few weeks, and they are back to the old habits.Why is that?

The health of his creation was essential to God because with health comes happiness, and what loving parent doesn't want their child happy!?We are no different when it comes to welcoming a new life into our homes. Creating an environment of all of the things we love because we will be spending a lot of time with our beautiful infant there.God did the same thing for us when he created the Garden of Eden, preparing it with exactly what Adam would need. Our loving God meticulously designed every detail to ensure Adam would have the best possible environment to thrive in... The most enjoyable place to work and fellowship in. Cool breezes, warm sun, beautiful starry nights, delicious food, and delightful scents.Let's look at 7 things God established in creation that he knew would be foundational for Adam to survive. 

There comes a time when we must take matters into our own hands. This is usually the case when someone has been neglectful, and another must step up and take over the responsibility.As stewards of God's temple, we are the ones in charge of managing the care and keeping of this fleshly dwelling.

The first I remember being confronted with my need to be born again was after a Sunday School assembly when our concerned pastor kept a group of us girls behind to go through the plan of salvation and pray with us. He then told us to walk down the aisle at the invitation after the morning service. That was very scary to me because the aisle was never used at invitation except for what I perceived to be a terrible sinner! 

Today, as Christians, we are living in the information age, yet..."...my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge..." Hosea 4:6It truly breaks my heart to see so many Christians being led like sheep to the slaughter, unknowingly deceived by false information and addicted to foods that are destroying their that was intended for God's purpose.
