Day 1&2 ✅ | 30-Day Healthy Temple Challenge
Day 1 went well. I have not been in the habit of drinking this much water, but I got down far more water than I normally do. Honestly, I almost met my goal, and for me, that is real progress. I do not want to overlook the small victories because they turn into lasting habits.
This week, while studying my Sabbath School lesson on prayer, I learned something that connected deeply with this journey. Prayer is more than simply asking God for help. Real victory comes through communion with Him. Obedience grows out of connection. If we are not staying in contact with God, it becomes much harder to overcome obstacles and unhealthy habits. Taking care of the body temple and building a community that helps me and I them has become a real desire in my heart, not just something I “should” do.
I also learned something powerful from the book Temperance. In my own words, Christ went into the wilderness and overcame on the very point where Adam and Eve fell, appetite. Satan believed appetite would continue to keep humanity under his control, but Jesus proved obedience through dependence upon God was possible. Christ did not only win the battle for Himself, He showed us the pathway to victory. If Jesus overcame where humanity first fell, then He also left us an example and a pattern we can follow through His strength.
That thought encouraged me so much during Day 1.
I mostly ate watermelon, and I was excited because I actually found one with seeds. I bought mostly fruit and salad, and overall, I ate really well. Sabbath was not quite as strong as Day 1, but I am learning this journey is not about perfection overnight. It is about continuing, learning, praying, adjusting, and moving forward without giving up.
OK! Now this statement hit hard in the book Temperance. "A strict compliance with the requirements of God is beneficial to the health of body and mind. In order to reach the highest standard of moral and intellectual attainments, it is necessary to seek wisdom and strength from God, and to observe strict temperance in all the habits of life." Temperance pg 155 We've got to do it. Let's help each other.
Today is Mother’s Day, and I think it is going to work out pretty well. I plan to begin the day with water at 7 am and continue taking one step at a time.
I may not have done everything perfectly, but I am encouraged because I am already becoming more aware, more intentional, and more prayerful. And honestly… that is a beautiful start.
