No soda, no sugar, no chocolate, no fried foods, nothing but healthy eating. And loads of water.
Next step is to add walking and exercise. Taking it slow. Living one day hour by hour. But I am feeling so much better.
Maybe simply because I'm making time to do something solely for me. Maybe because I am eating healthy.
Maybe just because it's time.

The power of prayer.....
There is a verse in the Bible that says if you have the faith of a mustard seed, you can move a mountain. I have never doubted that, but I have always realized how tiny and insignificant my faith is as I can't begin to move a mountain.
But I do have faith in the power of prayer. And sometimes it just shocks me. And I don't know why because I continue to keep that verse in the foremost part of my thoughts.
Last night, my cousin and my sister spent the night in the guest bedroom. That meant I slept with my hubby. I think he was quite happy, but I was dreading it because of the flopping, tossing, turning and snoring. I finally went up to bed about midnight and put in my earplugs and just started praying. I prayed for Jehovah to heal this man that I love. I prayed for open passages so he could breathe without snoring. I prayed for calmed nerves so his legs wouldn't jump on the bed. I fell asleep praying....
and I woke up at 5:30 am. Refreshed, rested, ready to go!
I want to work on increasing my faith....I want it to grow from the size of an microscopic amoeba to something greater than that. I don't need to move a mountain, but I do need to have the faith that this will all work out.
Somewhere I have a mustard seed necklace that was my Grandmother's. I need to go find that.
