What's New?

What's new with me? Well, there is so much going on. God is doing multiple things in my life at the same time, He always is, but this time I am just more aware of that fact. I have a couple of decisions I need to make and so I am praying about those. I am really craving to read lately but it's a bad time to get a craving like that because it is nearing the end of the semester and my work load has tripled. In just a couple of weeks I will have been a vegetarian for 6 months. That may be a record for the longest amount of time that I have stuck to something health wise. However, I am extremely concerned lately that I am not getting enough protein. I am praying about whether I should eat fish and poultry and just leave out red meat. I think that may be wisest. Even with beans, veggies, and grains, I am not able to get the protein recommended and I am worried it is beginning to take a toil on my body as far as energy and overall health. It may sound silly to pray about that but even though I don't always try the hardest health is something that is very important to me. I want to be a good steward of my body that God has given me, because it is for him. I think it would be really nice to have turkey this Thanksgiving as well :). Speaking of Thanksgiving I have been thinking a lot about it lately. "Thankfulness" is something that is being more and more foreign to our country. I worry that even as Christians, because of the world we live in today, Thankfulness has somehow lost its meaning. We say we are truly thankful but do we even know, do we even understand? I want God to so overwhelm me and wreck me with his Love and Grace that I live as a thankful woman. When my soul pulls at me to be selfish to protect myself, I want God to pour His Love out through me as I live a thankful life for His love and friendship in my life. It's counter culture but it should be our prayer. As we think about the celebration of God and his goodness this season, we need to look for every opportunity to live in thankfulness.
