Unique Brain

You are Special!

In Jer. 1: 5 it says "I chose you before I gave you life..."

Just imagine, my name was called in the universe even before I was conceived. I am special because 1 out of 100 mil. sperm cells outperformed the others to penetrate an egg cell, which formed me!

The following info just emphasise our uniqueness. (The following is a quotation, but I didn't pen the author's name down - sorry)
"One of the wonders of human development is the manner in which the human brain , which consists of over 100 billion neurons, can develop so quickly from just a few initial neural cells. During the time the brain is growing "in Utero" it must be generating neurons at a rate of more than 250 000 per minute. Furthermore, once the nuerons are 'born' , they must move to their correct location and form connections , which have been estimated at up to 15 000 per neuron.

This is mind boggling!

What happiness for those whose guilt has been forgiven! What joys when sins are covered over! What relief for those who have confessed their sins and God has cleared their record. There was a time when I wouldn't admit what a sinner I was. But my dishonesty made me miserable and filled my days with frustration. All day and all night Your had was heavy on me. My strength evaporated like water on a sunny day until I finally admitted all my sins to you and stopped trying to hide them. I said to myself, "I will confess them to the Lord". And You for gave me! All my guilt is gone. (Ps 32: 1 -5 from the Living Bible)

O Father, You are the Almighty, the truth and the light. Thank You Lord for forgiving my sins, for they are many! Thank You Hoy Spirit for helping me to forgive those who have rejected me, who have spoken badly of me, lied to me and have broken my heart. Forgiveness has set me free, it has restored my joy and peace in my heart and I can only stay on this road with Your teachings, and inspiration. Thank You for Your Word and that I can know You will never leave me. In Jesus Name Amen

Weightloss

During last year I battled to lose weight. I was exercising, eating lots of vegetables, drank lots of water, and herbal teas but could not shake anything off. The doctor was concerned as my blood sugar levels shot up by 33%. I did some research of my own and decided to cut out as many starches as possible. I still trained, drank my herbal teas and water. I drank cellulite and grapefruit capsules and decided to stay away from the scale for as long as I can. I have now lost nearly 10kg (only got on the scale after 4 months), stopped the cellulite caps but still drink the grapefruit in the mornings. I think weighing yourself too often forms a block on your system, what do you think? It's great to fit into clothing I couldn't wear for more the 3 years!!
