Hey everyone!
We desire to expand Spice tree music
and Integrity Carpentry but we are in need of some things; a great used camera
(for pictures and video taking) our phones just can’t cut it, we desire to be
able to post great photos and videos of work and music (and our growing family)! Also two 2 drawer filing
cabinets and shelving to get our office organized. A laptop or PC to get more
things done! Hard to help Gabe when he needs the computer and so do I. If it is reasonably priced we can pay cash or trade
work (painting or maintenance) or if you know of someone getting rid of stuff
for free, we could sure use it.
Thank you so much!
One more thing: please pray for our
family as we try to expand the gifts Yahweh has given to us, that we would be
focused, disciplined and enjoy the task at hand. HalleluYAH!
Yahweh Bless!

A New Journey Begins!
I usually blog when I am fulfilling a goal in my life or striving to do so! Where I bring you along on my journey! This next journey will be about nine months and at the end of the Nine months we will receive a most priceless possession! Have you guessed it yet? In these nine months I choose to be active and healthy. I want to bring you along as I experience the many ups and downs of hormones and emotions but finding ways to keep self-control in action! I plan on still working towards my weight loss goal which is only 13lbs! after that I desire to maintain a healthy body and a blessed heart!
This new life has brought great JOY to me.. I feel beyond blessed to be his/her mother. I know without Yahweh I could not experience such Joy, such delight! This season of new life we are in, inspires me to keep track and bring you along in the journey. I hope to keep you updated on recipes and ideas and a few pictures (haha) of the amazing process of life. Especially update you on the many blessed moments of spiritually growth and set-apart moments.
Please go forth with us, through Yahushua in prayer and in joy as we embark on this new journey of LIFE! Without Him none would be possible.
It is with GREAT LOVE and Joy, that we share this with YOU!
Yahweh Bless,
Sady K.
WE ARE GONNA HAVE A BABY!!! HALLELUYAH! \o/

Recipes!
This last Shabbat, I made some gluten free cupcakes and cornbread, they turned out wonderful!!
Here are the recipes:
This recipe I got from a magazine, It was a recipe I altered into gluten free thanks to the baker that makes them she gave a gluten free alternative! They were flavorful and had great texture, on the dry side but for the most part were fine.
I got the recipe from a Mary Janes farm magazine. I was able to try out a free one, but I do not care to subscribe to it... so here is the recipe by April Hale Open Table Catering :
Makes 12 cup cakes, preheat oven to 400. grease a muffin pan set aside.
Add dry ingredients in medium bowl set aside, in large bowl add butter and sugar, mix in vanilla, then add one egg at a time.
Add a third of the dry ingredients and buttermilk, alternate until all is mixed up. Pour batter into muffin tin. bake for about 15 minutes. Let cool on rack or plate then frost!
I made a simple frosting with Powder sugar, 2 tbsp butter, little milk, and lemon juice. (my own throw together)
NEXT Gluten-Free CORNBREAD!
I scanned the internet for this recipe, one that wouldn't consist of a many gluten-free ingredients, I like keeping it simple... I have only a few ingredients to work with on a GF routine because some stuff is silly expensive!! This recipe I found on Gluten free mommy website! I altered it a little bit because I had Masa flour (corn flour) instead of cornmeal. Still turned out wonderfully great, not overly chewy or crumbly, perfect texture!! especially with the chili I made with it... Here it is:

I altered it a little bit because I had Masa flour (corn flour) instead of cornmeal. Still turned out wonderfully great, not overly chewy or crumbly, perfect texture!! especially with the chili I made with it... Here it is:
1 cup white rice flour (I used brown rice, measured less then a cup because of using masa flour)
3/4 cup stone-ground cornmeal (I used masa flour)
2 to 3 Tablespoons of sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 Tablespoon butter
2 beaten eggs
1 cup milk
1/4 cup melted butter
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Mix the dry ingredients (flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt) together in a med. bowl and set aside.
Melt the one tablespoon of butter in a 10 inch cast-iron skillet or 8/9 inch round baking pan in the oven. This takes about three minutes. Swirl the butter around the pan coating the bottom and sides.
In a small bowl, combine the eggs, milk, and 1/4 cup butter. Add this mixture all at once to the flour mixture and stir until just moistened. Pour batter into the hot skillet or baking pan. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until a wooden toothpick comes out clean. Serve warm.
So there you have it!! I also have a Quinoa Pancake recipe that is wonderful... will be posting that soon!!
Yahweh Bless

Gluten Free Fun!
Well let's say I am enjoying trying to make foods work that don't involve wheat... That is one of my goals after my fast is to stay away from wheat, I love wheat, yummy fluffy breads and pastries! hehe... I see how full and yucky they make me feel after enjoying them. So I am slowing on a journey to go more to the gluten free side. We have rice galore so I am grinding it and I still have some left over gluten free gear from my last gluten free go-about. haha...
Tonight for Shabbat I am making Chili and cornbread... so I will have to post how it turns out! I'm going gluten free on this one.. kind of making up my own which is probably not the greatest idea since gluten free baking is very very finicky! I have also enjoyed using masa flour (which is corn flour) to make corn tortilla's.. I love them when they are soft and warm with some guacamole! YUM! Anywho....
With tonight being Shabbat, I am making a dessert, Gluten free CupCakes! I'm having fun with this one as well and going to make Lemon-Ginger! Pray for me that all turns out... I found a pretty easy recipe in a magazine and thought'd try it out.
Besides me going gluten-free I think it will help Gabe out as well.... He has always had a sensitive stomach towards wheat. So as I embrace it for myself I hope we can keep up with it and keep going to see if it helps everyone. We still have wheat and I will still make stuff with it, I don't want to waste the good stuff we have but it is fun trying new things out... if the recipes do turn out I will post them for you!!
Well got bunches to do.

Prayer request
Shalom.
Today is a rough day for me, I had my wisdom teeth extracted yesterday, though the surgery went wonderful. I am super sore, swollen and uncomfortable today. I ask you all to please pray for a quick recovery, it is hard to be momma when I can barely say a few words. haha. I am thankful to have this procedure done it has been a long road of much pain and I feel so much better getting some things taken care of. I am saddened though I treated my teeth with carelessness, I pray now I will work harder at keeping them healthy by my taking great measure to care for my body like I should instead of the glutinous way I have treated it. Always need your prayers and encouragement to walk this set-apart path and to hold strong to Yahweh's ways and paths I know He has purposed for our family.
Yahweh Bless you all and I pray you have a blessed week and true opportunity to shine your light wherever you go and in whatever you do!! All through YAHUSHUA!! HalleluYAH!
Psa 100:1 Raise a shout for יהוה, All the earth!
Psa 100:2 Serve יהוה with gladness; Come before His presence with singing.
Psa 100:3 Know that יהוה, He is Elohim; He has made us, and we are His – His people and the sheep of His pasture.
Psa 100:4 Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him; bless His Name.
Psa 100:5 For יהוה is good; His kindness is everlasting, And His truth, to all generations.
I give thanks to Abba Yahweh for all the love He has surrounded me with in His peace!
Zep 3:17 “יהוה your Elohim in your midst, is mighty to save. He rejoices over you with joy, He is silent in His love, He rejoices over you with singing.”
Psa 32:7 You are my hiding place; You preserve me from distress; You surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah.
Have a wonderful day and may you be greatly bless and surround you with His mighty strength.

What?!? No Desserts.....
HAHAA... I'm almost to a place where YES! NO MORE DESSERTS! This reasoning comes from having a trial of a day yesterday just by making a batch of cookies for our landlords family and Gabe's clients! Laughing-So-Hard.. I made these amazing Zebra Cookies (dark and white chips) with walnuts! Oh My!! OH MY! WHY WHY WHY? It was the silliest thing I have done here lately because I overly enjoyed them! Then I had to fight temptation all night not to have more. I won the battle even though I wished I would have never made them! But at least I finished the long awaited use of my choco chips! So NO MORE COOKIES.... okay I won't say that, it is more making a big batch and being the taste taster! I need to set a goal not to even touch if I dare to make.
This week has been good, but I have noticed myself craving more food and snacking a little bit to much. So I have stepped up making a more intense plan to follow, I kind of slacked in the area of being more specific about what I need to stay away from and what I need to eat more of. So I am figuring it all out and once I do, might share my "daily routine" with you!
I am excited for what is to come, whatever it may be! Yahweh is good and I am so blessed to be reminded of His love and mercy!
So my friends and family have a blessed Shabbat! we are going to get hit with SNOW! YAY! More to come about my week but must end here for now.
Shalom for now,
Sady

Thriving!
Heb 12:1 We too, then, having so great a cloud of witnesses all around us, let us lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race set before us,
Heb 12:2 looking to the Princely Leader and Perfecter of our belief, יהושע, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the stake, having despised the shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of Elohim.

All I can say is it is nice to be able to eat! I have learned so much and on day 41 I got to put it into action and for the last 7 days, I feel like I am reaping fruit and I feel that the bounty is life changing. In the entire fast I lost 35 lbs. but I have gained 5 lbs back due to building muscle and my body no longer in starvation mode! I took some pictures through the process of my first day and until today!
I am learning to listen to my body and not my flesh, which may come as a confusing thought being that my flesh is my body. I'm more talking about understanding what full is and not to trust my eye sight, for there are times my eyes fool me into thinking I desire more when in fact I am content. fueled. ready to go!
Many things have changed in the DeLapp household, Thank Yahweh I have an amazing crew that is right on board with me. With these changes do come more effort but I think we are up to that because the results have been more energy and less irritability! I have goals coming together and being thought of as I continue my way towards a fat-free body! hahaa not a fat-free diet but a fat-free body!
I have kept my meals small and frequent. which personally have helped out BIG TIME! I give thanks to Yahweh for my encouraging friends and family who have all played a major role in support, prayer and superb ideas! The thing I am learning through the small meals is the fact I have to make time for myself, which has encouraged me to stay motivated and excited to begin each day.
Yahweh has placed an amazing desire to work hard! To enrich my life with the tasks at hand... To stay inspired and keep enduring through the rough stuff. I have had my moments this week where stress did try to come in and play with my emotions, I was encouraged cause I turned to YAHWEH! I truly made a choice to by pass any other out and turn to Him.. He supplied my strength and then some. He is so good. Praise ABBA YAH!
Well I must end here, I hope to share more from this new season and some more testimony from my 40 days... Yahweh is so good. I love you all and pray you are inspired to find great hope in the great awakening inside you, YAHUSHUA! in whatever that may be! Shalom for now...... Sady :D
Pro 13:4 The being of the lazy one craves, but has not; While the being of the hard workers are enriched.

Had another egg over easy. Man, your eyes can sometimes deceive you in wanting more... but I choose not to eat more and about a few minutes after finishing my egg I was full and content!
I enjoyed a mid-morning snack of a banana, apple and yogurt with a few pieces of fig. The children and I LOVED it! it was just the right snack! no sweetener needed! My portions have been crazy small but I have felt completely satisfied with them. HalleluYAH! I plan on keeping everything small and simple for a while or forever! haha... Feeling great, had a stressed moment but didn't turn my thoughts to food which was really awesome, I turned to prayer and sought Yah for strength! That felt so good... I pray you have a wonderful day! Keep you posted about this week...

One chapter closing as another opens!
Day 40!! Really? I made it?? I can not begin to tell you how incredible it feels! I am humbled by this journey, humble by the fact that Yahweh asked me to go forth, to know He wanted me to succeed and overcome my flesh. HalleluYAH! It is the most amazing feeling not just looking at my flesh and seeing a person I hardly recognize but seeing my flesh in all reality! Seeing that Phil 4:13 is true. Seeing that I am not what I was before. Seeing that I too can overcome.... each time I come to this place (which have been many) I am astounded and overwhelmed by the true grace and mercy and love my heavenly Father has for me. It is not a false love... it is not for a season but for all eternity! That through Messiah Yahushua I can have this pure set-apart bond with my Heavenly Father and know that I am His!
Psa 100:1 Raise a shout for יהוה, All the earth!
Psa 100:2 Serve יהוה with gladness; Come before His presence with singing.
Psa 100:3 Know that יהוה, He is Elohim; He has made us, and we are His – His people and the sheep of His pasture.
Psa 100:4 Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him; bless His Name.
Psa 100:5 For יהוה is good; His kindness is everlasting, And His truth, to all generations.
Day 40 is more a day of awe.... Thanking Yahweh that my last day is a Sabbath! A day of rest and day that is for my family and I to become more of a family and abide in Shalom with much rejoicing and much laughter!
Now my world is in full throttle motion towards FOOD! lol. Well that is where I put on the brakes and make sure I am in check! Day 41 is going to prove to be my hardest day yet! Funny as that may sound being that I have dreamed of this day, though in all reality being off of food for 40 days makes me a baby! My body has to take time to understand solid food again.... SO I ask you to please keep me in your prayers. I see the enemy in John 10:10 wanting to come and destroy! As I come back into healthy solid foods I hope to share with you the many dishes I plan and hope to be making. During this Fast Yah has given an enjoyment to finding great recipes for my family. He overly strengthened me to bypass my fleshes want for the food I was making and encouraging me to go further by preparing me to embrace a more set-apart healthy lifestyle. He is so good like that... Just AMAZING!
In these last days I have been given some great scriptures in preparing for day 41 and beyond. I hope to hold these dear and keep accountable to them, maybe they will strengthen you as well.
Mat 26:41 “Watch and pray, lest you enter into trial. The spirit indeed is eager, but the flesh is weak.”
1Co 10:31 Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the esteem of Elohim.
Well my friends and family this is not the end though my fast is coming to a close the journey is not over. My prayer and my hope it is the continuing of a testimony in progress...
Once again please keep me in your prayers.. I do truly need them in the days to come!
Yahweh Be praised for all His great and miraculous ways and His beautiful love that strengthens and cultivates this reckless and ugly heart. Yahushua Thank you... for Your testimony and love to show us that Yahweh is forever strong! I am forever grateful for YOU being in my heart and calling me out of my muddy pits.
Once again Yahweh Bless and keep you all,
Sady

Daily Struggle
So easy to fall for future's expectations. Where you'd like to be or what you'd like to be doing but truly the one day we are in has more then enough going on to not be so focused on what you wish you were when! haha... seem confusing? Read this:
Pretty basic and pretty humbling. It is easy to fall for a desire, a hope, a glimpse of something that makes you more than just you. Let me encourage you here with this:
What I am trying to get at is. Seek Yahweh, Seek His timing, seek the path He desires you to take. Not the lastest trend or a souped up pill or beating yourself up with past mistakes. But take this moment, this day to truly give over your weakness, your hurt, your depression, your situation, your spouse, your children to Yahushua and know that He will strengthen you in whatever needs need to be faced. Not saying you shouldn't write up goals or have a plan but in your daily life when thoughts overwhelm and insecurities set in don't let those moments force you to change or keep you from overcoming what the enemy wants to do. DESTROY.
He has given so much to live off of that isn't food for the belly but food for the soul and in that is Perfect HEALTH!! He will guide you in the path your family needs to go whether it is changing your lifestyle or spiritual walk.
In my daily life right now is where I find my struggle, even with the "somewhat finish line" ahead of me. I can still feel the pull, the little temptations I'll fail. Even my mom "semi rebuked" me the other day because I was speaking death over certain things (so thankful to have her in my life, she is a beckon)! I keep being reminded it isn't about tomorrow, it is about today! What is it that I am going to do today. Live in Life? Death? the curse? the Blessing?
Deu 30:15 “See, I have set before you today life and good, and death and evil,
Pretty easy to see we have a free will and we have a choice! So... in making the right choice looks what awaits!!!
We will be given our inheritance... We will be strengthened to overcome. that Through Yahushua we have been given a NEW outlook unto everlasting life! (once again Phil 4:13 comes into play!). We first have to remember to CHOOSE LIFE, that Blessing!... speaking death will only get you to give up.
So in your daily life may you come to find new found strength to overcome what so easily besets YOU. I know it is hard... I'm right there with ya! My prayers go out for you and as I thank you wholeheartedly for your prayers for me, the have gone without void! They have encouraged and strengthened me in this time and the time to come. I look forward to the rest of this day and will rejoice to start anew!
Yahweh Bless
Sady
Mat 6:25 “Because of this I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you shall eat or drink, or about your body, what you shall put on. Is not life more than the food and the body more than the clothing?
Mat 6:26 “Look at the birds of the heaven, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into storehouses, yet your heavenly Father does feed them. Are you not worth more than they?
Mat 6:27 “And which of you by worrying is able to add one cubit to his life’s span?
Mat 6:28 “So why do you worry about clothing? Note well the lilies of the field, how they grow. They neither toil nor spin,
Mat 6:29 and I say to you that even Shelomoh in all his esteem was not dressed like one of these.
Mat 6:30 “But if Elohim so clothes the grass of the field, which exists today, and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, how much more you, O you of little belief?
Mat 6:31 “Do not worry then, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’
Mat 6:32 “For all these the gentiles seek for. And your heavenly Father knows that you need all these.
Pretty basic and pretty humbling. It is easy to fall for a desire, a hope, a glimpse of something that makes you more than just you. Let me encourage you here with this:
Mat 6:33 “But seek first the reign of Elohim, and His righteousness, and all these matters shall be added to you.
Mat 6:34 “Do not, then, worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow shall have its own worries. Each day has enough evil of itself.
What I am trying to get at is. Seek Yahweh, Seek His timing, seek the path He desires you to take. Not the lastest trend or a souped up pill or beating yourself up with past mistakes. But take this moment, this day to truly give over your weakness, your hurt, your depression, your situation, your spouse, your children to Yahushua and know that He will strengthen you in whatever needs need to be faced. Not saying you shouldn't write up goals or have a plan but in your daily life when thoughts overwhelm and insecurities set in don't let those moments force you to change or keep you from overcoming what the enemy wants to do. DESTROY.
Php 4:13 I have strength to do all, through Messiah who empowers me.
He has given so much to live off of that isn't food for the belly but food for the soul and in that is Perfect HEALTH!! He will guide you in the path your family needs to go whether it is changing your lifestyle or spiritual walk.
In my daily life right now is where I find my struggle, even with the "somewhat finish line" ahead of me. I can still feel the pull, the little temptations I'll fail. Even my mom "semi rebuked" me the other day because I was speaking death over certain things (so thankful to have her in my life, she is a beckon)! I keep being reminded it isn't about tomorrow, it is about today! What is it that I am going to do today. Live in Life? Death? the curse? the Blessing?
Deu 30:15 “See, I have set before you today life and good, and death and evil,
Deu 30:19 “I have called the heavens and the earth as witnesses today against you: I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. Therefore you shall choose life, so that you live, both you and your seed,
Pretty easy to see we have a free will and we have a choice! So... in making the right choice looks what awaits!!!
Deu 30:16 in that I am commanding you today to love יהוה your Elohim, to walk in His ways, and to guard His commands, and His laws, and His right-rulings. And you shall live and increase, and יהוה your Elohim shall bless you in the land which you go to possess.
Deu 30:20 to love יהוה your Elohim, to obey His voice, and to cling to Him – for He is your life and the length of your days – to dwell in the land which יהוה swore to your fathers, to Aḇraham, to Yitsḥaq, and to Yaʽaqoḇ, to give them.”
We will be given our inheritance... We will be strengthened to overcome. that Through Yahushua we have been given a NEW outlook unto everlasting life! (once again Phil 4:13 comes into play!). We first have to remember to CHOOSE LIFE, that Blessing!... speaking death will only get you to give up.
2Co 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Messiah, he is a renewed creature – the old matters have passed away, see, all matters have become renewed!
So in your daily life may you come to find new found strength to overcome what so easily besets YOU. I know it is hard... I'm right there with ya! My prayers go out for you and as I thank you wholeheartedly for your prayers for me, the have gone without void! They have encouraged and strengthened me in this time and the time to come. I look forward to the rest of this day and will rejoice to start anew!
Yahweh Bless

Nourished Thoughts
Pro 31:13 She shall seek wool and flax, And with delight she works with her hands.
Pro 31:14 She shall be as the ships of Tarshish, She brings in her food from afar.
Pro 31:15 She also rises while it is still night, And provides food for her household, And a portion for her girls.
I have been having fun finding new and creative ways to use beans, peas and rice!! We have a plethora of them and so I am scanning away to find some delightful breakfast, lunches and Dinners for my tribe! Yahweh has been so good, because it really hasn't bothered my fast... Funny how that is but I believe He is giving me strength to overcome my will and be strengthened by His.
Yahweh seems to be encouraging me to prepare for my 41th day! Which will be the day I slowly come back to food. He is helping me to see I need accountability, structure and wisdom on how to maintain a simple and healthy lifestyle. Because once again I am not going back.... I am running this race and I will run it for my children and my children's children. My amazing Husband has been my head coach and cheer leader from the start and I am so so so grateful for His support, love and encouragement at this time.
Heb 12:1 We too, then, having so great a cloud of witnesses all around us, let us lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race set before us,
Heb 12:2 looking to the Princely Leader and Perfecter of our belief, יהושע, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the stake, having despised the shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of Elohim.
It feels good, seriously feels like I am in a shell and it is breaking apart piece by piece and I am coming out new and refreshed like a butterfly!
Yahweh has been so faithful to lift me up, to dry my tears, to listen to my silly woes and to discipline when need be. I am forever grateful that He has called me out.. That He fortified a vision and an opportunity to do this. This great awaking within my sleepy self! It is one step at a time, I know it is going to be rough at times to go back to a type of normality but I pray that it will be a new fresh adventure and it will not end this is just the beginning to the rest of my life.
I don't know who is reading this, but to be somewhere or someplace I have never gone or have never felt is most amazing. To know that food is not on my mind... or a constant thought to comfort me, is incredible! Please understand I am bearing deep things that really are embarrassing but yet sharing them helps me admit that I want change and I no longer desire to walk there in! It makes me accountable, no longer is it something that is masked. I was sitting on the couch the other day and it hit me what life would be like not having to worry or need the comfort of food. HALLELUYAH!! I believe I am getting there! I believe that I am seeing that food/desserts are not what makes me complete inside and out!! I am rejoicing in this knowledge. I believe I have known this all along but really didn't care to expose it to light. Praise Yahweh this last year I did... it has been quite a year in the making.
So here I go five more days.... these are big days to me, full of thought, scripture and direction. SO please pray for me as I start marking and writing out goals and reminders to who I am now and what it took to get here. May I always be reminded of His great calling for my life whether it be in health, home life and my spiritual walk.
Well enough randomness..... Yahweh Bless! I love you all but this momma needs some sleep....

Psa 27:8 To my heart You have said, “Seek My face.” Your face, יהוה, I seek.

In times of weakness
Day 32.
Dear Yahweh. I am weak today so in that I hope that that makes you strong in me...
I wish I could say these past few days have been easy, but I can not. They have been full of doubt and weakness. My body is exhausted and slow moving at times, I am still keeping on but oh there are moments that if I stop it overcomes me. I still am battling thoughts of food, but truly feel that is the enemies tactic plan to cloud the efforts I know Yahweh is teaching me and showing me in this path I walk. Food is not the enemy nor am I going to completely stop having a treat once in a while but I am going to have a plan, a goal, something that helps me stay within the accountability for me and my family and our health. I am the baker and chef (besides Gabe when he gets a chance) So I know I need to be wise in many of the decisions that comes into our cupboards! I will say during this time I have not stopped cooking or baking or experimenting with some really good and healthy foods. Which I am so excited about, I feel He is driving a huge desire to start now even though I do not eat the food being made. HalleluYAH!! It hasn't been hard sitting here and watching my family eat and enjoy what I make which blesses me and encourages me because our table time is special and means alot to be all together, we not only eat but we read scriptures and pray!
One thing that seems to be a big thing right now is finding out more about how it is not the weight we fight but it is the hurt and insecurities that dwell within our hearts and the depths of our being. Weather it be from childhood (which is where some of mine stems from) or young adulthood or here recently. I am seeing a lot of my choices are do to the fact I picked up someone else habits and made them my own. Where they had found comfort I found comfort yet really not knowing why I needed comfort. I put my emotions in food and found it to make me feel better instead of truly putting my hurts and frustrations in Yahweh's hand.
Mat 11:28 “Come to Me, all you who labour and are burdened, and I shall give you rest.
Mat 11:29 “Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am meek and humble in heart, and you shall find rest for your beings.
Mat 11:30 “For My yoke is gentle and My burden is light.”
Psa 4:4 Tremble, and do not sin. Speak within your heart on your bed, and be still. Selah.
I felt as though I was sitting in the shadow of His wings.
Psa 91:1 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High, Who abides under the shadow of the Almighty,
Psa 91:2 He is saying of יהוה, “My refuge and my stronghold, My Elohim, in whom I trust!”
Psa 91:3 For He delivers you from the snare of a trapper, From the destructive pestilence.
Psa 91:4 He covers you with His feathers, And under His wings you take refuge; His truth is a shield and armour.
What a moment for me!! Really!!! I mean I didn't blow, I didn't give in and I finally let go, and you know what He was there.... He was there holding my hand and saying there is another way to do things. He showed me that I don't need all the extra that just clouds and hides my true heart from Him. whew... sigh. Even now it amazes me, that in my WEAKNESS He was made strong, I feel I have some what of a grasp on what that scripture really means. Not to say there won't be moments but to say that I know NOW there is a better way and it is a path I desire to take 100% of the time.
2Co 12:9 And He said to me, “My favour is sufficient for you, for My power is perfected in weakness.” Most gladly, then, I shall rather boast in my weaknesses, so that the power of Messiah rests on me.
2Co 12:10 Therefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in insults, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for the sake of Messiah. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
This fast is not to lose weight. I did not begin this fast so I could lose weight, though it is a perk to what I am going through it is also a reminder that it goes much deeper. I encourage and put a disclaimer on fasting... if you are doing it to lose weight... don't do it, because I feel it could cause anyone to become caught up in something that is not healthy nor good for you both mentally and physically. But please if anyone does desire to fast please make sure it is of Yahweh, make sure you are doing it to change your heart and to desire a closer walk with Him! This fast began because of some things going on in my life, my families and my friends. I could have not done this on my own.. I know that because I have tried!! Oh how I have tried... But this new season has proved that Yahweh was awakening me both mentally, physically and spiritually! HalleluYAH! how I have truly needed it... It has been a long time coming, a stirring within me so great that it couldn't be ignored.
So writing this to you I feel encouraged though I do still feel very weak. I am learning to take every moment and thrive. Not that that is easy! But I will continue only a few more days.... until next time Yahweh Bless and may you be encouraged.

Mat 11:30 “For My yoke is gentle and My burden is light.”
Hmm... HalleluYah! Think about those words and read it over a few more times. especially in that last verse, verse 30 "for My yoke is gentle and My burden is light". His burden and yoke are not like those of food, smoking, drinking, porn, abuse, yelling and and and the list could go on. See we get ourselves in traps and snares when we allow things around us to comfort our problem instead of facing it. Truly these 32 days I have had no place to hide, no place to console my weary state, no place to indulge in my time of stress. There was one moment I count as a victory when I was about to LOSE MY NERVE!! I was about to blow, I felt hungry, tired, worn out, stressed... I wanted to quit and indulge. He grab my thoughts made me go into my laundry room with the lights off and just sit in stillness.
Psa 4:4 Tremble, and do not sin. Speak within your heart on your bed, and be still. Selah.
I felt as though I was sitting in the shadow of His wings.
