Don't Jump Off the Wagon!

Whether you are following the Daniel Plan with the PRF small group or not REMEMBER WHY YOU STARTED! Even if you have yet to "start." The seed was planted in your soul to make a lifestyle change to be healthier. 
DO NOT BE DISCOURAGED!
This is a plan that is FOR YOU~ because it's Your Plan. Make no mistake about how personal this journey is. Each and every one of us have a different story. Different health issues, bad habits, triggers, emotions that surround food choice, exercise and awareness. 
Sue is doing an Amazing job giving us a front row seat into gluten free living. She has shared her story that motivates us all. For those that want to really dig in and investigate our foods and what they do to our bodies thoroughly what a great blessing to have someone that has walked through what Sue has. 
For those that are feeling overwhelm by the Daniel Plan~ Don't Be.
This weeks topic was "Focus" (chapter 6). And what a phenomenal topic this is. I will be blogging about it when I can get myself in a deeper "focused" state of mind. For now, I wanted to remind you all that change can happen on any level. If you are starting this journey by only doing a few small things: like cutting out soda, label reading to try to not take in so many chemicals, walking every morning, whatever.... As long as it's positive change in the right direction you have already succeeded! 
The minute you let your mind feel like you have "failed" you have kicked God out of the car. HE is the motivation. HE is for You. For your health. For your Happiness. For your well-being. Let Him back in the front seat and just keep your eyes open to be fully present for the ride. 
The Daniel Plan is a guide. Think of it like a map. People like Linda, Lesa, Sue and myself are gas station attendants trying to support weary travelers. Attempting to give clear direction and hopefully provide a place to refuel. God is in the passengers seat to love, enjoy, support, and encourage your amazing road trip. Where you go and how long you travel is entirely up to you! 
Pray and Set your Goals. 
How far do you want to go? What do you want to see along the way?  
On the video about focus they said something along the lines of this: Your ideals, wishes, wants, and desires are just dreams. It's not until you put it on your calendar that it becomes your goals. 
Get those calendars out people!

  1. Bami, thank you so much for the encouragement. And, yes, I'll raise my hand to be a gas station attendant. Get over here friends and let me give you a hug to spur you on!
