"See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland." Isaiah 43:19
This Scripture is fitting for me right now. God is doing a new work in me... and preparing me for the future that He has for me.
Last fall, I participated in our local Healthy Eating Adventure and now I am Vegan (except for honey...have to have my honey), eating lots of fruits and veggies. I lost almost 20 pounds too!
"...who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagles." Psalm 103:5

And then, God prompted me to go natural in my hair color, which has turned out to be a beautiful gray, silver, and white. So my auburn Nice 'N Easy #111 hair is gone. My best friend blessed me by cutting it and giving me this fun, short style! I'm sending the hair to Locks for Love.
"Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness..." 2 Timothy 4:8
God has been teaching me about wearing His garments and crown (spiritually), but it turns out that the spiritual and physical worlds are connected more than we know. Somehow, my healthy eating and losing weight is connected to my spiritual robe and my gray hair to my spiritual crown.
What has God been teaching you? Do you see correlations between the physical and spiritual?
I absolutely love it and very proud of you for steppping out in faith. GROWTH MY LOVE GROWTH!!!! PLUS YOU KNOW I LOVE SALT AND PEPPER.

ReplyDeleteLooking good, Dawn! I do think there is a correlation between the spiritual and the physical. I think how we treat and use our bodies is often a reflection of our inner selves.
ReplyDeletePam, I hadn't thought of that before, but I think that's true. Love you!
