Sorry I couldn't respond to anyone's comments on my last Journal entry -- sometimes, it won't let me click in the Comments box - either in my own post or on someone else's. @Snowwhite100, thanks for the info on Katies71. She really struggled, and I pray she is doing better. May God bring her back to this supportive community!
I made ANOTHER pot of Navy beans today. I just LOVE that I can cook them in the InstantPot without even having to soak them. Funny thing is -- I had never EATEN Navy beans until I made them several weeks ago! My husband loves the canned Luck's ones, but they are almost impossible to find now (they still have the Great Northern, which he doesn't like quite as much). Well, he doesn't love them as much as he loves HOMEMADE ones; and, up until recently, he only got them when his mom would spend two days making them.
I still haven't gotten back into a healthy eating regimen, but I'm not stressed about it. When I eat, whatever I eat, I thank God for providing it for me and for how delicious it tastes. I thank Him that I can afford real butter on my toast, and that I can afford a $6 loaf of Good Seed bread. I thank Him that, even though I have diverticula, it has never turned into diverticulitis, which would NOT be pleased with the seeds. I thank Him that I don't weigh 302 anymore, and that I probably will never get that high again - even though I struggle with significant ups and downs in my weight. I thank Him for the times when HE has taken complete control of my WOE, and has enabled me to have amazing successes. But, the Bible says, "In EVERYTHING give thanks, for this is the will of God." And, "Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God."
Praise the Lord, the Rexulti pills that I had to reduce my dosage of so I wouldn't run out will be here on Wednesday, and I have enough halves to take my full dosage for the next two days while I wait for them to arrive.
God is good!
