We are not sure if God will continue to grow our family in number, however we continue to grow in love and our roots deepen and take hold. My prayer for my family is that we deepen our love for the lord as we travel this journey to discover God's purpose for each of our lives. We surrender ourselves and may we always be open to the plans He has for us.


For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom his whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Ephesians 3:14-19

REAL Food!

I won't make this long, and I'll get right to the point - I am no longer a raw vegan - hurray!    We were discussing having another child, and I started to wonder about all the miscarriages I had... my friend P emailed some articles that I read, and they went against everything I have believed about food!  But....it made sense - and the missing pieces that I was searching for finally fit together.   I believe I miscarried because I was missing some key ingredients which would lead to early miscarriages.  I also came to realize that I chose a lifestyle of being a vegetarian, and then moving to a raw vegan, for the wrong reasons - I chose that way for appearance and not health.   So now I drink raw milk, eat grass fed beef, pastured chicken, pastured eggs, occasional organ meat, you get the idea.   I have put on a few more pounds than I would have liked, but now that I'm back exercising and figuring out just how much is good for me, the weight is coming off.  I am really enjoying cooking again, and having people over.  My family is happy!   I still love my veggies, fruit and salads, but these are no longer my staples.   And did I mention - I am really strong - stronger than I've ever been.   I believe that whether or not we have another child, that God used that to get me to look at what I was doing, and He saved my life.    Read for yourself - Nina Planck's REAL Food, and REAL Food for Mother and Baby - and make the choice that is best for you.
