I'll talk myself into thinking I want to go snip-snip until I see this, then I recognize, how God has given me a long desire of my heart to have #longHEALTHYhair as I did in my childhood - but better. Back when I wanted to be an independent teen, that did her own hair, I certainly got my wish. I told my mom, she did not NEED to do my hair anymore, I could do my own hair. Well, little did I know that I knew little of what she knew about my hair, and I paid for it, by my hair beginning to break. Five days before my 18th birthday, I pulled my hair back in a ponytail and I cut the tail off! Then I hid my new do - lol! I felt more ashamed than liberated, simply because I did not know what to do with my hair being short, X-D, plus how could I tell my mom. She certainly found out when she saw my hair on my birthday, just before I slipped out the door for school. Boy, did she fuss - She protested she could not get senior pics taken. I really wonder what went through her head, when she saw it. (She did eventually get the senior pics she wanted. ;-) ) #thatWASthen HAPPY to have #GONETHRUtoGETTO

The only way to increase your hunger for more of God is to make a habit of getting in the word of God every day. The holy bible is your spiritual food for your soul. Feed your self with His word and grow strong in the Lord.

This is what 2000 calories can look like at Chipotle, or at home.

I was reading the New York Times this morning and one of the quotes struck me. “It is the collapse of home cooking that directly led to the obesity epidemic.”

CHIPOTLE: Carnitas burrito (945), chips and guacamole (770), Coke (276).

HOME: Yogurt with fruit and nuts (210), toast and jam (85), coffee (2), beef stir-fry and farro (400), diet soda (0), pretzels (220), pear (100), chicken and arugula (490), Brussels sprouts and squash (55), water (0), wine (120), cookies (200)

The home cooked shot doesn’t depict clean eating or meals I’d eat everyday, but it does show that if you cook at home, you’re more likely to eat better and “eat more” (volume-wise) without a thought. It’s also cheaper!! Do you like to cook?
