Today is June 12th, and it's not just my cousin's birthday, but it's also my anniversary!
It is the sixth anniversary of being a vegetarian! That's right! Since my first mission trip in 2009, I challenged myself to eat more vegetarian which then turned into being vegetarian from that summer onwards.
I want to glorify The LORD in all that I do and in all that I put into this bodily temple, so this continues my journey into a healthier diet.
When I initially started to cut meat and animal products out of my diet, I immediately saw a change in my health. The biggest improvement has been seen in my blood results whenever I go for my physical check-ups. I recall one check up when my cholesterol was lower than average and the nurse got worried and said she couldn't read it! She didn't even know how to decipher it so she called for the doctor but he explained my numbers were perfect. :-) Yes, my blood testifies about my diet.
Society sometimes concentrates so much on external beauty (facials, cleansers, make-up, enhancements, plastic surgery, etc), that it sometimes forget it is more important to concentrate on the internal health of the body. Ultimately, what you put into your body will come out (i.e. it will reveal itself physically).
I thank the LORD for keeping me and teaching me how to live life-after-meat, haha. I also praise HIM for I recall in scripture that the life is indeed in the blood and I have witnessed this in my own body. Is your blood testifying about your diet. Be sure even your blood and diet glorifies The LORD!
