Day 8 - Get Crazy Healthy quickly!

Wow! What a great first class we had last night! Many who came are going to be making huge changes in how they look at food and what they put inside their body. Remember the saying, "You are what you eat"? This is more true than ever before in the history of the world and especially in America. Last night we learned simple, yet powerful ways to promote healing in the body through what we put in our mouth. If you missed it here are the key points you need to know:

When looking in your fridge follow this simple rule:

80% of the food I eat is FOOD BY GOD

20% or less is FOOD BY MAN

Food By God                                                  Food By Man

                                         

Food by God are the foods that God put on this earth for our benefit. Nuts/seeds, vegetables, fruit, and meats. The more untouched by man, the better for our body. On the other side is Food by Man. These are foods that have been put together, processed, and manufactured by man. You will typically find these foods in boxes at the grocery store. These foods are toxic to our body and lead to many health issues.  

There are 3 dangers in current-modern day nutrition:

1. Sugar
2. Bad Fats
3. Toxicity 

All three of these cause inflammation in the body and restrict healing. Symptoms of having too much of these three things in your diet may include:

Weight gain
Pain
Arthritis
Fibromyalgia
Forgetfulness
Memory Fog 
Fatigue/Lack of Energy
Asthma/Allergies
Headaches

So want get crazy healthy quickly in the next 32 days? Follow this plan and see amazing results!

5 Keys:

1. Eliminate sugars
2. Cut out grains
3. Remove bad fats and add good fats
4. Eat small amounts of fruit – berries only
5. Avoid toxins

You can do it! Look yourself in the mirror today and say three times "I CAN DO THIS!" We aren't all perfect, but if you want changes in the next 32 days, DIVE HEAD FIRST!

We are here for you! We are here to help you on this journey so please let us know if you have questions. Start making changes today! Take the simple things you know won't be hard to change first and then keep improving everyday.

 Last night, we had someone attend who had read about the 40 Day Renewal in the bulletin. He saw that the first class started that night. He attended not knowing what it would be about and what was going on. After the workshop he came up to us and said that he "never realized how BIG this 40 day renewal really was and how important it is for everyone to attend." He continued by saying that his family had started to make healthy changes, but that now he knew they had to do more!

What did he mean by "how BIG" this thing is? Until last night he had not grasped the bigness that if everyone from the church gets on board and starts to make healthy changes to their body how different (in a good way) our church community will be.

This 40 Day Renewal is about you, but it's NOT about you at the same time.

Who do you know that hasn't plugged in yet? Not everyone can make Wednesday classes, but have they been on the website? Have they reached out to the leaders asking advice? Have they committed themselves to improving their body throughout Lent? Have you?

---------------------------------------

ACTION STEP FOR REST OF THIS WEEK: 

Talk to 3 friends about the 40 Day Renewal. Get them to check out the website and attend next Wednesday's class on Fitness. We could all do this alone and see great personal change or we can do this as a group and see our entire church transform! 


Ready....Set....GO! 



Maximum Blessings to you this week

The Purpose Driven Life - Finding Your Purpose

CHAPTER 8 -  PLANNED FOR GOD'S PLEASURE

You were planned for God's pleasure. The moment you were born into this world, God was there as an unseen witness, smiling at your birth. He wanted you alive, and your arrival gave him great pleasure.

Bringing enjoyment to God, living for his pleasure, is the first purpose in your life. When you fully understand this truth, you will never again have a problem feeling insignificant. It proves your worth.

• Bringing pleasure to God is called "worship"
• Worship is far more than music - every part of the church service is an act of worship: praying, Scripture reading, singing, confession, silence, being still, listening to a sermon, taking notes, giving an offering, baptism, communion, signing a commitment card, and even greeting other worshipers. 
• Worship is not for your benefit.  - We worship for God's benefit. If you have ever said, "I didn't get anything out of worship today," you worshiped for the wrong reason.
• Worship is not a part of  your life; it is your life. - Every activity can be transformed into an act of worship when you do it for the praise, glory, and pleasure of God. 

Point to Ponder: I was planned for God's pleasure.

Verse to Remember: "The Lord takes pleasure in his people" Psalm 149:4a

Question to Consider: What common task could I start doing as if I were doing it directly for Jesus?
