Ahh! Hello! I can't believe it is already May! Dang, this year has flown by! There have been so many changes going on in our life this last year!
First off, and most importantly, my relationship with the Lord has grown so much! It has been amazing seeing what the Lord is doing in my life and the life of my husband! The Bible study I am doing with some women from our church has been such a blessing! God has been teaching me the duties of a woman, wife and mother. I am learning how to submit to my husband and take care of the needs of my children and my home! I am more confidant then ever about my place in the home with my children!
We have been going through
Becoming A Woman Who Pleases God. It is on the Proverbs 31 woman. I would recommend it to you for yourself just to read or in a Bible study of woman to go through! Love it! We are on our last chapter this 2 weeks.
My relationship with my husband is growing deeper with both of us desiring to serve the Lord with all our hearts and might! He has been teaching me a lot about our God and King! I love him more and more everyday!
Third, Our eating habits are so totally different it is awesome! We now drink raw milk from a local farm, use free range eggs, grass fed meat, no preservatives or added ingredients as much as possible and we joined a CSA for organic, local produce that starts for the summer season in a month! I have gone through our cabinets and fridge and gotten rid of any and everything with added ingredients in it... Well, I couldn't bare to waste it all, so I tried to eat a lot of it so it wasn't going to waste. But either way, it's gone! And gone for good! :) I home make any treats we want to eat from the store or just can't part with... like my husband and
Homemade cheese crackers or cheese its. Obviously, I substituted the flour with fresh ground whole wheat flour. Or the other day we made these amazing
churros! Same thing with subbing, but I did use sugar, organic. And deep fried them in peanut oil. Next time I will do them in my deep fryer. It was really hard to keep the temperature right in a pan! Here are the pictures of mine:
We devoured them!
Seriously!
There would have been more, but Ryan and I couldn't keep our hands out of them while we were making them! :)
Basically, we are still eating most everything we used to eat, just the healthy version of it! Which has been nice because we don't feel deprived! I still bake. I just use healthy substitutes and use honey or Stevia for my sugar.
Stay tuned for healthy chocolate that you SHOULD be eating every day! :) I know, there is no such thing... YES there is!! :)
