Current Mood: Happy

Welcome to my little sanctuary on the web. This is where I go to get away from it all, I guess you could call it my version of a bubble bath. As you can see I have a new wordpress layout and I just love it. It was hair pulling at first but so worth it. I’m still in the process of moving all the Adoptables in and revamping the old linkware graphics that I use to have here. So please check back for the new and improved Christian graphics coming up. I want to thank you for visiting and pray that the Lord will shower His blessing on your day. If your interested in learning how to draw your own pixel graphics, like the ones you see in the linkware section, you might be interested in joining my other site at Tweedie’s Country Nest .

Current Mood: Tired

I’ve been down with migraines each day for the last two weeks.  I’m completely sick of them.  I’ve tried absolutely everything and it will help for a bit and then they come right back.  My grandmother, mother and both daughters suffer with them as well.  I know it has to do with my hormones because my mother had a hysterectomy and she never had another one after that.  I use to get them now and again when I was younger but now that I’m going through the middle stages of menopause,  they’re almost my constant companion. UGH  I though being a vegan, that I was  eating as healthy as can be, but after much prayer,  I’m starting to think about going at least 75% raw to see if that will get rid of them for good.  I know the kids and hubby probably wont go raw with me but maybe down the line they will when they see me feeling much better.  Eating raw foods is the original diet given to us from our Creator in the Garden of Eden after all and I think the Lord knew what He was doing don’t you?  LOL I’ve been reading a lot about it on the net along with testimonials and am willing to give it a go and perhaps live that way from now on.  Praise the Lord we have an organic vegetable and fruit farm a couple of blocks away from us (the advantages of living in the country) I want to have my own garden but each year I get so busy that I wait until it’s too late.  So hopefully we’ll see how it goes and I can blog about my progress here.

Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.  3 John 1:2

Our bodies are not our own,  they were bought with a price.  They are also the temple of the Holy spirit and as such, the word of God tells us that we are to take care of them by eating healthy.  The Lord has given us in His word,  the wisdom and means to know which foods are good for us and which we are to avoid.  As children of God we can’t put just anything in our mouths and expect the Lord to grant us health simply because we ask a blessing over it.  We are to use wisdom and discernment in choosing foods that are best for our bodies.  With all the food do’s and dont’s out there, sometimes it can be very confusing to know what is or is not ok.  I’ve decided to have a little section on things I feel the Lord has led me to personally in answer to my prayers on the foods I should avoid.  Personally I feel that anything “Man Made”  is not the best.  My family and I eat foods as close to natural as we can (if it doesn’t come straight from the garden, we don’t eat it).  Here lately,  food is more about convenience and taste rather than nutritional content.  No wonder Americans suffer with so many diseases, obesity and health problems.  Here is one article I ran across (among thousands!) about artificial sweetner, that I felt led to share.  I know we’ve been told that too much sugar is not good (which is correct according to Proverbs 25:16) Yet this supposed ”healthy substitute” is much much worse.  If you are currently using artificial sweetner,  please read this article about the long term effects.
