One of our gifts God-YHWH has given us is offering iencouragement to others to follow a similar path of healthy living that we have taken. We strive to promote total wellness through nutrition, fitness and spiritual well being - not merely 'living' in the absence of disease or infirmity but rather 'thriving' in vibrant health.Carmen Brunohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16759242409572000288noreply@blogger.comBlogger2321100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3526513619579964714.post-26145025211358314252011-09-01T19:00:00.002-05:002011-09-01T21:17:05.636-05:00

Pebble Crossing Shabbat is upon us once again.  YHVH is faithful and true to His promises.  We are so grateful for His day of rest that He has given us.  May we continue to pray for each other as we learn to rest and worship Yah in His ways. His ways are perfect, His ways are everlasting. He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel. Tehillim/Psalm 103:7

We've been blessed with much rosemary these past years.  When we first moved in, I decided to plant the rosemary bush close to the front entrance.  We've enjoyed the wonderful aroma from the rosemary as well using it in our food preparations.  To name a few, we use this herb in our herbed Challah, pizza dough, meat dishes and scrambled eggs.  Cultivating rosemary is quite simple like

After a good exercise session in the morning, we all enjoy a healthy smoothie.  Green smoothies starts our day with much needed healthy fuel that gives us a good jump start to keep us moving at a good pace.  This smoothie I'm sharing is very simple which includes only a few ingredients, namely a lot of spinach.

YHVH's/God's  day of rest is such a blessed day more than we can every realize.  YHVH is always thinking of us constantly.  He knew we needed this day.  A day of rest to worship Him for all that He has done for us and continues to do so.  Are you feeling weary and run down?  Here's a song for you 'Let Go' by Teshuva.   It's time to let go

I love eating lentils no matter the time of day.  I even add some garbanzo beans along with some ground up flaxseed and apple cider vinegar.  Ok I know this doesn't sound like the typical breakfast eaten in the North American diet but it pleases me and my body to eat dish cold for my first meal of the day.

How I praise You, Lord and Savior that Your love got hold of me; You have saved and cleansed and filled me that I might Your blessing be. Emptied now of all my rights, surrendered them all to Your hand;With no power but as You give me, to obey Your each command. Just a servant full of blessing, to the thirsty hearts around; Showing them God's full salvation, with His love they are unbound. Yes,

Another school year is coming to a close, only on certain subjects that is.  Learning never stops whether you are a homeschooling family or have your children attend public or private school, parents and children alike.  As we know learning takes form in many different ways.  We have been blessed to be able to have the children take music lessons.  To be able to listen to piano music

Life has been somewhat of a whirlwind lately.  Much to do and only so many hours in the day to complete it.  As I work to meet the needs of my family, other priorities tend to get shifted down the list.  And that is ok.  We are here to please our Heavenly Father as we walk on the narrow path and learn to be righteous.  We am grateful that YHWH/God has given us day and night.  It forces us to

Summer is fast approaching here. We've had wonderful cool weather this past month. The humidity and heat is rising though here in North Texas. I'm so grateful we've been able to enjoy having the windows open. We've been blessed with waking up to the singing of the beautiful bird songs. Praise YHWH! With summer comes more salad making. We usually have a green salad every day regardless

A Devotional from Oswald Chambers . . . strive to have a conscience without offense toward God and men. Acts 24:16 God’s commands to us are actually given to the life of His Son in us. Consequently, to our human nature in which God’s Son has been formed (see Galatians 4:19), His commands are difficult. But they become divinely easy once we obey. Conscience is that ability within me that

Eating Tabouli is a fresh tasting food. Parsley does that. Tabouli is often accompanied with pita pieces. We love to eat it as a side dish. Using buckwheat instead of bulgur (cracked wheat) is a perfect replacement for those who need to include a gluten free food choice. It is a perfect healthy food choice which won’t even leave you with a taste difference. Parsley Facts:  Parsley which

When studying the scriptures, learning the Hebrew meanings of the words gives us so much more depth to the meaning of the scripture itself. It has literally changed our understanding of many scriptures. YHWH/God comes to life even more. We are so grateful when YHWH/God shows us something so special when he personally speaks to our hearts. Recently we watched a seminar presented by Dr. Seekin’

What is a servant’s heart? This question can best be answered by a look at our Master’s life. Jesus came to earth, leaving the glories of Heaven and life with the Father to serve us. He lived it out every day in a very practical way, perhaps just so that you and I can understand and see the reality in the call to serve. First, He obeyed the Father. “I must do the will of Him that sent me.” Jesus

With much talk about the negative effects of radiation exposure, I felt it important to share some information which may help some of you who are concerned and are looking for natural ways to help prepare in case it is needed.  We need to continue to pray for wisdom and discernment when sifting through much of the media information as it may leave us with an exaggerated sense of urgency.

Vitamix is having another Special on one of their Reconditioned Vitamix Blenders. If you have been wanting to purchase a Vitamix Blender, you may want to consider purchasing a reconditioned one.  It is a great way to include daily raw healthy fruits and vegetables in your diet!  This will allow you to include the whole fruit or vegetable.  A great way to include more digestable fiber.  We are

What to do with pears that are on the verge of being overly ripe?  Making pear sauce would be nice.  And of course, we can always include them in a smoothie. I was able to find a neat recipe online and adapted it to include raw honey rather than sugar. I love old fashioned recipes, most often only basic ingredients are required. This pear cake turned out to be moist from the pear juice and

The Lord appeared to Abraham one day and gave him an incredible command: “Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee” (Genesis 12:1). What an amazing thing. Suddenly, God picked out a man and told him, “I want you to get up and go, leaving everything behind: your home, your relatives, even your country. I want to send you

Tilling and Planting As the season of Pesach(Passover) approaches, we meditate on cleansing from sin, removing leaven (pride) from our spiritual and physical houses. We ask YHWH יהוה (God) to cleanse us from our sin. In Isaiah 28, after YHWH יהוה(God) warned of the judgment He had decided to bring to pass on the earth, he says this: 23 Give ye ear, and hear my voice; hearken, and hear my

I’ve always loved beef jerky, I know for sure that if you’ve ever tried a decent piece of the dried meat, you love it too. Sadly, it’s kind of expensive—okay, VERY expensive—and most of the time, the meat contains sodium nitrate. Knowing my love for jerky, it isn’t hard to believe that I came across a recipe on how to make some. Chances are, if I want to go make something (in the kitchen, that is

the beautiful beeswax brick! Recently, after a drive to the country, we brought home a golden brick.....it smelled delicious. Ok, it was a beeswax brick. And it was sitting on my desk for a while, when I thought of making some homemade deodorant with it. I looked up some recipes online, cleaned out an old store-bought deodorant stick case, and voilà! it's nice to have an old stick case on

The Levitical/Biblical Dietary Laws information has been shared on the “About” section of our blog for quite a while now.

What do you do with a bunch of apples which are badly bruised but may still have some nutritional value? A quick an easy way to use up apples is to make apple sauce. Here is a recipe using apples and adding cranberries to give the sauce a tart flavor.  Fruit sauces can be eaten with granola, as jam, or just plain for a snack, breakfast or desert. Ingredients 12-15 apples (different sizes and

During our homeschooling years since the children were very young, choosing curriculum for their courses has taken place nearly every year at our home.  Ideas have come from conversations with other homeschooling families, visiting homeschool book fairs and scanning through homeschool curriculum catalogues. Through this process, let me not forget to mention, we’ve spent time in prayer asking for

  The first time we see lentils mentioned in the Bible is in Genesis as Jacob traded to Essau for his birthright. Jacob/Yaʽaqoḇ then gave Essau/Ěsaw bread and stew of lentils. And he ate and drank, and rose up and left; thus Esau despised his birthright.  Genesis/Berisheet 25:34 Lentils have obviously been part of people's food choices for many years as we have noted above. It has long been a

A few weeks ago, some of us experienced feeling ill. One of the symptoms was a sore throat. We decided to try one of Mr. Christopher’s herbal remedies. Although this remedy was made to help strep throat, it can also relieve a sore throat. If you have garlic, raw honey and cayenne pepper on hand, it is quite simple to make. Proportions Decide how many proportions you will need to prepare.

A couple days ago, I tried a fudge recipe from GNOWFLGLINS.  Because I had recently used a generous amount of carob powder in another recipe, I decided not to make the dark side of the marbled fudge.  Truth be told, we had actually run out of vanilla too.  So... I took the advice of Ms. Wardeh, who posted the recipe, and added spearmint extract instead.  I also added some chopped almonds, and

As homeschooling parents know, flexibility is key when teaching at home. And having a plan and a schedule in place is just that.  A schedule can change from one day to the next. Having homeschooled our two from the beginning, I can tell you we’ve tried different curriculum during our homeschooling journey. We've done some Charlotte Mason, some unschooling and at times a lot of book work.  At

Did you know that Brussels sprouts are a cruciferous vegetable? They are a mini version of a cabbage and when they are eaten steamed, you can reap many nutritional benefits. They are an excellent source of vitamin C and vitamin K. As a cruciferous vegetable Brussels sprouts have many anti cancer benefits.
