Getting back on a new Whole30. Can't believe it's been two months already! I've slipped back into some of my old habits, although I'm still so much better in control than I used to be. Time to slay some more sugar dragons and kick it up a notch in terms of exercising and spiritual growth. As I said in a post on the Whole30 website, "Yay for whole, real food!"
I'm also FIVE DAYS from finishing my degree in Early Childhood Education. At 47 years old, I am finally finishing college. 'Bout time! Interview tomorrow morning for a job helping families involved in addiction and abuse cycles. Wow.
I am very thankful to the Lord for all of the opportunities He has sent my way in the last couple of years, through foster care and Ashford University. I have learned so much and am heading down a path that I had never once considered when I started back to school.
And now with the Whole30 and paleo lifestyle, my physical body and my mental state/ability is absolutely transformed. I remember praying about fibromyalgia when I was first diagnosed with it, and the Lord showing me that I would not be miraculously healed. That it would be something I would struggle with, that I would have to lean on Him for victory. How awesome that He has chosen to use FOOD to bring healing. It still required leaning on Him, because I have to avoid specific foods to maintain my health. But wow...I didn't realize what healthy felt like! It wasn't until I started eating like this that I realized I've always had pain and discomfort! It wasn't until I found health that I knew I have never really been HEALTHY.
Back to Whole30 today. One week's worth of classwork and a final paper to go and I'm finished with school. Starting one thing, finishing another. It's such a great place to be. Life is so full. I am blessed. And grateful.
