BACK TO JERUSALEM

As I have stated in my previous update here, our prayer group planned to go back to the village where we have all been born and introduced to the Gospel to listen, talk and have fellowship with people who are having problems in their walk with the Lord.

We rented a big jeepney and left Bambang on Thursday (Nov. 1st) morning.  One member of our group failed to show up at the designated time and place while one came late and so we left without them.  The tardy one  took the passenger jeep and so we were very happily surprised when we found her in one of our target houses.

Accomplishments:
1.  We were drawn much more closer to God and to one another as a team when we went there and found out that each of us one cannot do or say everything there is

I asked the hubby if I can try one of his and a pair looked not so bad as the others. So off we went with me looking like I have boats attached to my feet rather than shoes. I used the lesson that I prepared for a women's conferenc

ADDICTIONS

My addictions are weird but I think these are not unique to me.  I have three addictions and I am very glad that I have overcome one of them, at least for now.   #SUGAR_ADDICT  Over a month ago, I was probably one of the worst sugar/carb addict there is.  Since I was diagnosed with diabetes almost three decades ago, I went into a rollercoaster of dieting and fasting and binge eating.  I would weigh myself, get disgusted with what I see and resolve to eat nothing for a week. I would lose 10kg, then the following week, I would eat all the calories that I restricted myself from and more.  Then in April of last year I tried the ketogenic diet and it was working for a month or so until an aunt commented that I will get all wrinkly and saggy if I lose too much weight and my mind used that statement as an excuse to go back to my standard way of eating which has always left me feeling and looking bloated, inflamed, fat, and ugly.  It also aggravated all my health issues specially w
