Are You All In?

Are you ever in the middle of trying to focus on a task or detail and your physically falling asleep? The way your eyes go all cross eyed and they go out of focus while the eyelids get heavier... This is what my brain feels like this morning.

As I begin to focus on tasks my brain floats elsewhere. To places that I couldn't even disclose the location because it feels like my feet and body are going, going, going and then instantly slowed and stilled until I come to find myself standing or sitting still. Where did my brain go?

Often I think about the ways in which our bodies function and how sleep or lack there of can really bring about odd things and feelings. Nothing is wrong with me, just tired today. It's an on going trend as I am currently in the midst of detoxing from sugar and wheat.

Because of this detox I have been finding it profoundly interesting for many reasons. Our bodies or addicted continually to something. Sugar, Coffee, Nicotine, carbs, bad habbits, nail biting, sex, pornography, TV, Technology, the list could go on. Even when we are with in good self control and personal discipline. The reasons it is a constant practice is because our bodies constantly crave something.

When we cut our bodies off from something it loves and has grown dependent on, they begin to rebel. Your body begins to feel different and the cravings are higher and harder than ever. Even things as simple as sugar can bring out withdrawl symptoms that can throw you through a  loop. Headaches, stomach aches, insomnia...

But your body recalibrates its self to look to what it truly needs. Just like we take pain meds to cover up the pain instead of fixing the pain we become distracted. Instead of solving we self medicate to simply live with the problem instead of dealing with it head on. The worst part? When we make a decision to pursue healing it is often times harder in the beginning of the healing process to continue forward to full restoration because of body rebellion and discomfort.

"13Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only few find it."- Matthew 7:13-14

A few of the differences that I have observed of these 2 paths is the commitment to these things. Are you all in? or are you in but not wanting to give up this or that or do something but under your terms and not Gods...

In order to see change and exercise growth and progress forward we need to work at it. Have the profound discipline and obedience. If you want to become a better skier you must ski a lot , practice and be OK with falling alot. You'll never be perfect.

But to trust the process come what may...

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11

God is present.
