Had a blessed evening last night.  A couple homeschool mom friends of mine set up a meeting to encourage me and cover me with prayer as I head into a new trial in my life.

There was much scripture reading and we sang the song "Knees to the Earth".  That song just speaks exactly where I'm at.  I OWE my life to him.  None of us would be here if it weren't for Christ.  He is a wonderful Saviour.

I also FINALLY received a letter stating that I have an appointment at Ben Taub.  It's still two weeks away, but at least things are getting started.

I am also looking into ways to change my lifelong eating habits for the better and take a healthier approach to life.  I've always been the meat and potatoes kind of gal.  I love a good grilled steak (Porterhouse is my fav).  I do not believe that I can't have it once in a while, but I'll try to go organic.  I know that I need to stay away from red meat at least while going through treatment.  We'll see what life holds in the days to come.

Praising God for a better understanding of what it means to fully rely on Him!

Hey friend, boy can I relate to the diet thing. I found out three years ago that I was allergic to sugar, flour, red meat and dairy--as in deathly allergic. I go into shock sometimes. It makes things a bit difficult sometimes. One thing I did find that works is the book called 'Eat Right for your Blood Type'. If I stick to that, I seem to be fine. Another thing you can try--and I know it sounds hokey but there is an explanation--is to put a particular food in one hand and get someone to press down firmly on your opposite, outstretched arm. I guess your body senses the chemical makeup of the food and if you are allergic, you become weak. There's nothing mystical or magical about it since your skin absorbs 1/3 of everything you take in. It really works and has saved me alot of grief. I hope that helps you some.
