Introducing us…
Why is this family on a journey? Where are we planning to go? How will we get there?
These are all some questions that we have been asking, and some that you may be wondering. We don’t really know the answers, other than we feel that God had placed this desire in our hearts. The following verse is our inspiration:
“Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit lives in you? If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him, for God’s temple is sacred and you are that temple.” 1 Corinthians 3: 16-17
As a family, we have always maintained a fairly healthy, natural lifestyle. We’ve tried to eat a healthy, balanced diet, avoided “junk food” at home, drank lots of water, exercised regularly and generally worked at staying healthy. So, having a pretty good starting point on this journey is a blessing. Why take it a step farther? Well, even in our healthy diet and lifestyle there is much to be changed. We’ve been doing things that we didn’t even know could be hazardous to our health. So, it seems like eating whole foods, following a traditional style diet and buying organic when we can is a natural step in our lives.
This is a journey of knowledge and change. Not only are we aiming to change our lifestyle, but we are hoping to gain great knowledge of the world we live in. To be a temple of God is a high calling. If we really view our bodies and God’s temple, we will desire to fill it with purity. Ignorance isn’t an excuse anymore.
Where this journey will take us, only God knows. We are excited about seeing where it may take us and the effect it may have on our family. We are praying that God will take this desire and use it for His Glory. May we be temples that worship Him always and live according to his Perfect Will.
