Do I Look Different ? ? ?

I want to share some exciting news with all my blogging friends. . . in the past I've posted how there are two things that I've struggled with over the years, 1) finances, and 2) my weight.

Well, my friend Beth at "My Destiny Sharing Hope" introduced me to something that would answer both of those problems at the same time! 

It's called Isagenix and it's amazing!

(Watch this 3 minute video to find out more about Isagenix)

Let me tell you, I was the biggest critic of all...and you absolutely will NOT find a pickier eater anywhere! I've tried several weight loss programs and never stuck with anything more than two days, if that. If the shakes or food wasn't good, I didn't even last that long.

Isagenix is not a diet, it's a cleanse (and before you get the wrong idea by hearing the word "cleanse", let me say that you don't end up spending all your time in the bathroom, LOL). It is designed with natural ingredients packed with vitamins and nutrients your body needs, and our normal diets lack!  Once your body finally gets the nutrients it needs, you no longer having cravings.  At the same time, it works to release your body of all the toxins coming from the food we eat and the environment around us.

Now, here's the best part - I just finished my 30 day Cleanse (30 days of taking Isagenix products) and I'm happy to report that I've lost - get ready for it. . .

 19 pounds and 21 1/4 inches ! ! !

I'm so excited, I've been emotional all morning from the time I got off the scale, to the moment I measured, to the telephone call to my friend Beth to give her the good news. Even though I have a long way to go to reach my goal weight, I already know that I am so much healthier.

Here's how I know:

• I haven't had a soda in 30 days. Before I was drinking Diet Dr. Pepper (at least 4 a day, sometimes more.) Now I drink only water

• I was eating Hershey Drops candy (a little bag by myself every other day) - often due to stress of everyday life  (which I don't have anymore, because Ionic Supreme helps with lowering your stress level)

• My wedding ring is loose, my clothes are loose, my face isn't puffy, my ankles aren't retaining water anymore.

• My feet that had been tingling at night due to the on-set of nerve damage from my high blood sugar are not hurting anymore.

• I have energy - I don't crave sugar anymore, I don't really crave anything.

• I no longer have headaches that came on during my monthly cycle (sorry if any guys are reading this) due to a dip in hormones

I could go on and on about the health benefits that I've already experienced in the first 30 days.

The reasons I believe it has worked for me, when so many other things didn't are the following:

• The products actually taste good

• There is a network of people encouraging you and helping with any advice along the way (you don't have to go through it alone, and there's great accountability)

• There's no guess work - I don't have to count calories - its all very straight forward and it makes my life so much easier and doable. 

• There's the added incentive of making it a successful business by simply sharing the news about how it has worked for me. If I can do it, anyone can do it!

A Poor Gospel

Bill Johnson, Pastor of Bethel Church in Redding, CA wrote the following:

 

There is a big difference between preaching the gospel to the poor and preaching a poor gospel! Here are 7 signs of a poor gospel;

1- A poor gospel identifies with people's pain but has no power to deliver them from it.

2- A poor gospel loves the sinner but can't transform them into a saint.
3- A poor gospel has compassion for sick but has no gift to heal them.

4- A poor gospel loves heaven but can't bring it to earth.

5- A poor gospel embraces humility but resists being exalted at the proper time.

6- A poor gospel loves generosity but doesn't understand the principle of reciprocity.

7- A poor gospel embraces the cross but resists the resurrection life it provides to live powerfully.

The poor gospel isn't the gospel Jesus preached! He preached the GOOD NEWS of the kingdom where nothing is impossible with God! Do I believe in a prosperity gospel? You bet...it is the only gospel that has the power to transform us into the image of Jesus and destroy the works of the devil. -

God's Wife

Someone emailed this to me today and it really touched my heart. I thought I'd share it with all my blogging friends.

An eye witness account from New York City , on a cold day in December,
some years ago: A little boy, about 10-years-old, was standing before a shoe store on the roadway, barefooted, peering through the window, and shivering
With cold.

A lady approached the young boy and said, 'My, but you're in such deep thought staring in that window!'

'I was asking God to give me a pair of shoes,' was the boy's reply.

The lady took him by the hand, went into the store, and asked the clerk to get half a dozen pairs of socks for the boy. She then asked if he could give her a basin of water
and a towel. He quickly brought them to her.

She took the little fellow to the back part of the store and, removing her gloves, knelt down, washed his little feet, and dried them with the towel.

By this time, the clerk had returned with the socks.. Placing a pair upon the boy's feet, she purchased him a pair of shoes..

She tied up the remaining pairs of socks and gave them to him. She patted him on the head and said, 'No doubt, you will be more comfortable now..'

As she turned to go, the astonished kid caught her by the hand, and looking up into her face, with tears in his eyes, asked her:

'Are you God's wife?'

 

What a perfect picture of what the Bride of Christ (the Church) should be like.
