NOT A DIET


LAST APRIL, I was told by my physician that I was now a diabetic.  For years I tittered on the border of being pre-diabetic not taking this serious and not being convinced that I was adding insult to injury ignoring the pre part.  

I believed I was alright since I wasn't actually diabetic.  Did nothing about changing so I wouldn't become a diabetic.  I paid no mind to the medicines I was taking that contributed to high blood sugar levels and weight gain.  What about raising my cholesterol levels?  

Food was food at that time and I was not concerned about food additives, colorings, added chemicals, natural flavorings, GMOs, foods being highly processed, hidden sugars.  AND some not so hidden as they are listed on the food labels such as HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP.  A multiple of other names are used that one can hardly pronounce tucked away towards the bottom of the list of ingredients.  Who takes the time to look up just what the heck that one is? I'm working towards knowing.   

Personally, I believe that HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SRYUP is a demon designed to make us sick, stay sick and help us die sooner than later.  Did I say demon?  Yes.  I did.  I also believe that the additives allowed in foods is cause for alarm.

I would have more lab work done in 4 months.  SO from April until August I was determined to get my A1c number down and lose some weight.  When I was weighed and bloodwork taken, I had lowered my A1c number and lost some weight, but my cholesterol had climbed.  

Changing what I ate and how I ate wasn't a picnic for me.  It was actually very trying and I had a great deal of change to embrace.  Change I did.  I'm still watching what I eat and how much. Another lab will be done in December.

My journey continues as I have studied up on natural ways to combat diabetes, high cholesterol and high blood pressure.  It comes down to what I am allowing to put in my mouth.  My personal opinion tells me that we are being manipulated by what is being sold at the markets and given the FDA approval of what is alright to consume.

Manipulated.  It concerns me.

DECORATING

I knew a very frugal Lady named Edith that shared with me a excellent guideline for decorating. She said with ease, "If your room has clean ceilings, floors, and walls, and the windows have nice curtains, you'll have an attractive room."



John 3:7

“Marvel not that I said unto thee,

Ye must be born again.”

King James Version (KJV)

PSALM 118:17

I shall not die,
but live, and declare
the works of the Lord.

PROVERBS 24:3-4

By wisdom
a house is built,
and through understanding

it is established;
through
knowledge

its rooms are filled with rare

and beautiful treasures.

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS
SELECTING THE CORRECT SIZE CHANDY TO USE IN A ROOM MADE EASY. FORMULA MEASUREMENTS: Measure the room's height and width. Add together the numbers. Example: 8' x 10' room is 8 plus 10= 18" Use a 18" wide chandy. OR Take width of room calculating 2" for every foot. Example: 15' wide room. Take 15 times 2 = 30. Room needs 30" wide chandy. Standard distance between the bottom of the chandelier to the top of the table is 30 inches. When hanging the chandelier, make sure to hang it at the proper height. The bottom of a chandelier over a dining table or kitchen island should hang 30 to 32 inches above the top of the table or island. Most rooms call for at least 7 feet of space between the bottom of the chandelier and the floor.

WISHES

NO MATTER HOW BADLY YOU WISH with all your might that the something devastating that happened in your life hadn't happened and want so badly to go back in time to prevent it from happening...it isn't humanly possible to do this. You can't change the fact that it happened. IT DID. But JESUS can change the MEANING of what happened to you and give you PEACE. He can show you the way in which you are to go. God richly BLESS you. ~Deanna
