Feasting on Gods Word vs Fasting on Sugar

redeemingbeautyfamilyadventures

The visual in the @40daysugarfast of stacking Bibles on a cake plate like a cake to remind us to feast on Gods word was something that hit home for me.
.
I quickly grabbed my husbands Bible, my pretty Bible and my carry every wear Bible. Such a simple concept but wow what a huge impact it makes to see these on my kitchen counter.
.
Undoing unhealthy eating habits isn’t a one -time thing . It’s a process of daily desisions one at a time .. continuing to choose health .. much like faith .. we often don’t see the results of faith but we have to keep choosing to walk in faith . Wherever you are in this walk dear friend there is a God who loves you so very much and YOU ARE NOT ALONE❤️

My Dearest Dietrich ~ Book Review

redeemingbeautyfamilyadventures

My Dearest Dietrich by @amandabarrattauthor was our book club book for this month. It gave an incredible inside view of some of those fighting WW2 in their own backyard.
.
It also provided a different view point into that part of history that had me researching and trying to make sense of what happened and why. So often we hear from the ones who were persecuted but to hear from those on the other side brought light to some areas of that part of history that was good. It helped answer those questions like .. did anyone notice what was happening? We’re they all willing so easily to persecute others and how did they not fight back?
.
I don’t know that I would agree with every choice that Dietrich made but I do love how he was seeking God in every situation,for his approval, his forgiveness or his help. I’m also challenged in my own thought life of how would I have handled those same situations. Would I have responded the same way? Definitely a book that gives you lots to think about❤️
