     I am so thankful for a godly husband that will lead our family in family devotions even after working 12 hours a day!  We have been reading in the book of Zecheriah lately.  We have also been going through some simple children's catechism's.  Last night's was over What is God?  God is Spirit and does not have a body like men.  John 4:24 God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.  We also go through a verse each night in Proverbs 31 the virtuous woman.  I am striving to be a virtuous wife.  The Lord knows I fail in so many areas daily, but just got to keep asking Him for help daily.  I want to be the woman I know God wants me to be.  Titus 2:3-5 says The aged woman likewise, that they be in behavior as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teacher's of good things: That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their own husband's, to love their children.  To be discreet, chaste, keeper's at home, good, obedient to their own husband's that the word of God be not blasphemed.  I am making that one of my life's goals is to be a Titus 2 and Prov. 31 woman and wife.  So thankful the Lord has blessed me with a wonderful husband and 3 wonderful children.
     On my progress on my health, my sugar was 223, gone up a bit from the 200 yesterday, but that's okay, I know I will get it down,  Blood pressure has gone down to 119/88.
      Well hope everyone has a wonderful day, those who follow my blog.

                                                                                      May God Bless You.

     Had a very nice walk this morning with my daughter Amanda.  Kind of humid, but still a cool breeze every now and then.  When I got up this morning my sugar was 216 and blood pressure was 120/84, so I'm still making progress.  Still need to get my sugar down to 120 and maybe even lower. 

I skipped carrot juice this morning, but I will have it tonight before supper.  I had a wonderful garden salad for lunch with fresh corn cut off the cob, cucumbers, and yellow squash!  God has been very good to us in our first garden.  Thank you Lord for the good food you have provided for us!  Ijust checked my sugar at 11:50a.m. and it is 200.  woo hoo!  Came down 16 pts from this morning.

Hello!

I would like to start off by saying that I'm very new to the concept of blogging, so be patient with me as I learn!

I would like to use this blog as a tool of accountability as I continue through the raw diet that I'm on.
This is day 11 of a thirty day cleanse.
The reason I started on this lifestyle change is because I am a Diabetic.  Before starting on this journey my sugar had gotten up to 464.  My kidney's were hurting and I did not feel good at all.  My blood pressure was 145/96, since I've started eating raw (no sugar, flour, processed, or cooked food) my blood sugar fluctuates between 208-242.  My blood pressure has gone down to 123/84.  So the Lord is helping me make progress and I pray He will continue to do so!  I am doing this for His glory, my wonderful husband, and my three children, and also myself!  My daddy died from complications due to his diabetes, at the age of 57, I want to be around alot longer than that.  I do not take any medications (although I am supposed to), they just don't seem to work.  I am trying to control it naturally, through my diet and exercise.  Please be in prayer as I go through this journey in my life that I will "Always Make Progress for His Glory"!
