May is such a refreshing time of year in many regions! The new shoots, the fresh green grass, the crisp and clear air! 🌱🌱🌱 This is a wonderful opportunity to get your garden in! Being focused on clean eating, Vegetarian or at least Mediterranean, fresh fruits and vegetables that are local are centric! Look around you, can you manage a little 4X4 garden? A window box? Indoor planters in a sunny window? No matter where you are; you can grow food! Microgreens are super easy on the countertop -- and these add tons of nutrients to your regular diet. I challenge you to add some fresh grown goodies that you cultivate yourself, this is an awesome family project and connects you with the relationship we have with the food chain. 🌿🍃💚

Quality of thought.

We hear many people say what we should be as an ideal believer in G-d.
We should be humble, follow the commands, meek in spirit.
I challenge you that it starts before all that, and even simpler than that... it all starts in the QUALITY of our thoughts.

In a day and age where we are bombarded with flashing images, fleeting trends, societal mayhem, and uncertainty at every junction- it has become increasingly common to have very little "deep" thought or well constructed thoughts of our futures. We are often manipulated by outward pressure to be stressful, fearful, upset or anxious.
These are not productive emotions for G-ds most precious creation.

These emotions arise from unsure thoughts, half realized or misunderstandings. We need quality of thought to get us to the future that God wants for us.

It's not just our futures that need quality of thought; it is our family life, work life, health and spiritual well being.
In all these things G-d wants to bless us- we just have to be aware, awake, and of substance and quality to understand that the blessings are set before us, waiting on us to accept these gifts.

Our quality of thought directly affects our lives in a multitude of ways, and unfortunately we are not challenged to address this in mainstream life. In fact, it seems that they belittle this approach.

Today I ask that you take some time to think about your quality of thoughts.
Are you suffering needlessly? With worry, doubt, anxiety?
If this is true, it is possible to improve your quality of thoughts....it all starts with G-ds creation. Your body, your spirit and things you put into these affects your thoughts.
Have you ever watched a TV show that had an effect in your behavior? Maybe you craved pizza because the people on the screen were enjoying it? Maybe your language became more crass because the characters on the screen were more foul mouthed? Or how about a survivalist show that makes you feel anxious for the future? These things happen to everyone, you are not alone! But this is the sum of the quality of our thoughts, our health and behaviour. This is just a small example of what we put into ourselves, we will get out.

I'm of a firm belief it all starts with body health, when we are feeling well- we want to DO things, accomplish tasks, and are motivated. It keeps our minds busy on quality endeavors and actions. Everyone is probably a little off balance nutritionally, so careful consideration of what you need and how to get that daily is a worthwhile undertaking!
Once more wellness is centered, your desire for unhealthy inputs (items that bring forth negative emotions), will decline.
More joy will emerge and with that even more health and quality of thought.

This is an intertwined system that G-d has designed.
And for a more in-depth study on the creation of our body and their needed nutrients, support on understanding supplements, and individualized studies- please get in touch with us to schedule some time.

But until then, look at your diet, your input from outside sources and see if that may be affecting your quality of thought!

I hope you find motivation and joy when embarking on this less talked about idea!
Peace be with you!
🌿🕊🙏🏽

No one is perfect.

Are we punished for our faults and imperfections?

If you've been to Sunday School or any religious domination that talks on judgement day- you may know what I'm talking about.
In these mainstream theologies, if you are "bad" or "sin" you are punished with damnation. Firey hell. Eternal suffering!

I feel this is an erroneous way of looking at how God weighs our actions here on earth.

Let's think about what we know of God. He is perfect in his ways, holy judge, loving father, merciful, knows we stumble, gave us guidelines to help us achieve what is acceptable, blessses us or sends us trials whilst on earth, does speak of a panel of judges from among the earthly generations, does speak of a new heaven and new earth, does speak of a lake of fire... so how does this all fit together?

First off, I know we will be judged for our trespasses of Gods Law. But how that judgement manifests is where the theory diverges from mainstream thoughts.
I have found to believe we are judged daily.
One big reason I feel this is the case, is God is not within our limitations, He sees and functions in an infinite loop, no beginning no end, all timelines coinciding all done or yet to be fulfilled.
So, as we trespass, we are already being judged for those trespasses. The judgement IS occurring, in my opinion. Some religions call it karma, and there is a similarity to this theory. Your action causes a response (or reaction), being weigh and judged in real time, as God works in ALL time. We are connected to all things simultaneously.
We have a say in our punishment, we make our choices- and we are held accountable.

Oh yeah, that lake of fire I mentioned- that's only been prescribed to the fallen ones. Lake of fire, eternal abyss- there is no original writing I have read that sentences man to this fate.
However, we are all waiting on a formal judgement after death, either we are weighed and found worthy of entry into the new world- or we are not. There is a little more to it, but for the sake of time and focus, I'll leave it at that.

But where do the ones go that are not returning to the new earth? The ones found unworthy?
This is largely unclear in many original texts, but one theory is the ones found worthy will be resurrected in the new earth and share eternal life with God, the ones found unworthy return to dust of the earth no longer endowed with the spark of life. Gone, forever.

All in all, our punishment for "sins" happen here and now, our guilt/anguish/illness/loss/etc, is our "hell" on earth- especially since we are separated from our Heavenly Father, which is a form of punishment all in itself, in my opinion.

Our ministry does not promote the fear of damnation, because in our opinion - being so far from God in our daily lives IS punishment and that is why we strive for communion. We strive to align our lives to bring Gods law to life - so we may commune with Him and enjoy the blessings he has in store for us. We are cautious to not be careless with our eternal soul, to remember this life is but a moment until we await final judgement and a new earth. So we can become a holy people, the Children of Light, Sons of God... the other option being eternal sleep then dissolution from our creator- nothingness.

Personally, I choose joy and love! I am working towards that judgement day- so I can worship my Heavenly Father and rejoice in the Earthly Mother and sing with the Holy angels!

I hope that this little snippet inspires you to look into how you view the "ever after"- are you living in fear? Are you unsure of what to think? These aspect do take a toll on your spiritual health and they are important to at least frame out - so you have a strong foundation in your faith.
I wish you well on your journey, peace be with you! 💛🕊🙏🏽
