Good and Perfect Gifts

Sometimes when I start stuff that feels like it is going to be painful you set your mind on all the deprivation and do not fix our minds on the right things.  So my entire expectation is for this to be horrible and I just need to get through it.  While I'm in the beginning of a diet and having been on several hundred over my lifetime, I know the first few days are the hardest.  You feel deprived, your body is fighting you, you don't know what to do with the extra time, or you are busy figuring, calculating, making shopping lists.

Well I've been deprived.  Having come off a diet the past couple years where certain food groups were eliminated and no exercise. This one (Isagenix) comes with an exercise plan and choices from all food groups.  I can have avocados, almonds, tomatoes and fruit, I was excited and satisfied.  

But wait, that's not all!  Today was a more restricted today and my friend Ginger let me have her box of Isagenix IsaDelight Plus and I was not expecting this surprise. This product is like eating Ghirardelli dark chocolate but it improves mood,metabolism and energy.  Which my amazing and supportive son says I need all of that.  They were amazing!  I get to have chocolate on this diet and do not have to feel guilty about it.  I'm good!

Not to over spiritualize things, but I just felt like this was my daddy (God) saying, I know you like your chocolates and you can have them now.

James 1:17 "Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows."

My good and perfect gift today was chocolate and a great friend on this journey with me!  Thanks Ginger, thanks Isagenix, and thank you Jesus!
