Benefits of Sprouting Grains

Y’all know I’m the salad queen but occasionally hubby likes a good sandwich for lunch and the kiddos do too. But all breads are not created equal. Most breads on the market today have unhealthy dough conditioners, bad for you oils, genetically modified grains and harmful sweeteners.

 

No good.

 

But not to worry. Silver Hills’ organic sprouted breads have NONE of those harmful ingredients. Their breads have only good for you ingredients that you can actually identify and pronounce. 

 

I feel good knowing I’m feeding my children and husband food that support good health. And not only that, their new loaves are chock FULL of fiber, protein, iron, selenium, zinc and more, providing key minerals and vitamins that your body needs to run optimally. 

 

And let’s not forget that Silver Hills’ breads are made from sprouted grains. What’s so special about sprouting? I’m glad you asked. There are immense benefits to sprouting grains. Sprouting:

 

  • Unlocks more of the foods nutrients
  • Helps your body more easily and readily absorbs the nutrients
  • Make food more easily digestible 

 

Desiree Nielsen, Registered Dietitian shares “Sprouted grain breads are higher in filling plant-based protein and fiber than standard whole wheat breads. Sprouted grains, being intact whole grains, will have more nutrition: sprouted grain breads have on average 12 grams of plant-based protein per two slices, and a whopping 10 grams of fiber. Compare this to 7 grams of protein and 4 grams of fiber for an average supermarket whole wheat loaf.”

Now grab your Silver Hills Sprouted Bread and give my new sandwich a try.

 

Smoky Tempeh Sandwich

 

Steam tempeh for 10 minutes. In a separate pan, heat 1 tbsp grapeseed oil on medium. Fry tempeh until golden on both sides. Season tempeh with 1 tsp coconut aminos and ½ tsp maple syrup. Splash a little water in pan and let sizzle to carmelize. Grill your Silver Hills Wheat & Greet Sprouted Bread. Take one chipotle pepper in adobo and mix with 2 tbsp vegan mayo. Slather on the bread. Stack lettuce, tempeh, red onion and avocado. Enjoy!

 

 

 

“And you, take wheat and barley, beans and lentils, millet and emmer, and put them into a single vessel and make your bread from them. During the number of days that you lie on your side, 390 days, you shall eat it.” Ezekiel 4:9

5 Tips for Living In The Present Moment

Urgency. Immediacy. Insistency. Life has a way of trying to choke out your ability to live fully in the present moment.

 

Kids always need something. Your boss always needs something. Even your past tries to haunt you playing scenes over and over again in your mind like Groundhog Day. 

 

But God doesn’t want you living a slave to urgencies nor does He want the past to rob you of the present. In fact, Jesus addressing this saying:

 

But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. Matthew 6:33-34

 

Jesus is urging you to not worry about tomorrow but to seek the kingdom. And finding the kingdom isn’t difficult. From the time after His temptation in the wilderness thereafter He preached where to find the kingdom. He said it was AT HAND! 

 

At hand, in the present moment there is perfect love. At hand we have an opportunity to bask in what IS. Yesterday is a memory and tomorrow yet exists but the present moment is ripe and bursting with God’s tangible manifest presence if we would just avail ourselves to experience it.

 

So just how do we lean into the present of His presence? Here are 5 practical tips for living in the present moment.

 

1. BREATHE – Friend are you oxygen deprived? Don’t feel bad, most people are. Be intentional about your breathing. Are you breathing shallowly? When you focus your attention on your breath, it forces you to slow down and draws attention to the present. As you inhale deeply, expanding your diaphragm, give thanks to God. Thank Him for the Pneuma (breath, wind of God) and ask Him to fill you afresh.

 

2. BODY AWARENESS – Right now bring awareness to your body. Are your facial muscles tight? Are your shoulders hunched? Is your jaw clenched? Drawing attention to your body brings you into the moment and extends to you an invitation to relax. As you draw awareness to your body and relax, thank God for creating you fearfully and wonderfully. Commit to using all your members as instruments of righteousness for helping to build His kingdom.

 

3. ENGAGE YOUR SENSES – God created you with a physical body that has senses so that you can engage with all of creation. Fully utilize your senses. Look and BEHOLD all the beauty before you: the blue sky streaked with cirrus clouds, buds on the tree, the wrinkles on the hand of your grandpa and even the crooked grin of a two year old. Listen to a bird’s mating call, the lap of the ocean and the hum of the air conditioning unit. Utilizing your senses is a powerful way to connect with what is happening now. Habakkuk 2:1 says I will stand on my watch to see what He will say. When our eyes are open we can hear from God. Did you catch that? Isn’t God amazing?!

 

4. BE A NOTICER – Jones, in the book The Noticer by Andy Andrews has the uncanny ability of seeing things others miss. When we lean into God, we can sharpen our discernment, catching things that we may have otherwise missed. Again when we are inundated with the cares of the world, we can miss many God moments. Let us pump the brakes and slow down enough to be a noticer.

 

5. GIVE THANKS – My, my my! Gratitude is a game changer. Your heart beating in your chest, running water, shelter, provision, creative genius, cognitive function, love, I can keep going and going. One of my children has been struggling lately with serious quarantine fatigue so I had them start a gratitude journal. It’s been going well so far and has been a way for this child to redirect the energy of harping on the past or trying to predict when life will return to some semblance of normal; and turn their attention to giving thanks for what is. 

 

I’ll leave you with these words from Brian Courtney Wilson in his song Already Here. I love how this song affirms where we find God. Be blessed as you embrace living in the present moment.

 

“We watch and we wait, Lord, anticipate the moment you choose to appear. We worship, we praise until there’s no debate. And we recognize you’re already here. YOU’RE ALREADY HERE!”

 

As always, it is my prayer that you’ve been Inspired to Live Fully!

How to Hear From God

Whales can communicate with each other from distances of up to 2 miles apart. And how? Sound is transmitted better where molecules are closer together, such is the case in water.

 

Oh that we would find ourselves immersed in rivers of Living Water, that we would hear from and communicate with the Lord. That the molecules of our souls would be so close together that nothing would impede our communication with Him. 

 

Perhaps you are saying YES, I want to know how to hear from God but do you have an ear to hear?

 

Communicating with God requires that we hear from Him. And to hear from Him we must lend an ear. At least 7 times in the Gospels Jesus says, “He that has ears let Him hear.” Jesus took aside a man that was deaf, put His fingers in the man’s ears and said to him, “Be Opened!’ and the man’s ears were opened (Mark 7:31-37).

 

Suffice it to say the Lord wants us to hear. And from these instances we can ascertain that the Lord is not only drawing our attention to the ability of our ears to hear but more so that we will TAKE ACTION on what has been heard. Yes we know that we have two ears on the sides of our head, but do we have ears to hear what the spirit is saying? 

 

It is not enough for sound waves to enter the outer ear, to travel through the auditory canal, then on to the eardrum, through the cochlea, up the auditory nerve and to the temporal lobe. Once that information HITS the brain, it compels a response. And the same is true with God. When He is speaking to you, His words have to travel through your mind, weave their way through your will, and navigate your emotions so that they can reach your spirit. He is trying to reach your inner most being He wants to do something! 

 

But depending on where you are emotionally, mentally, physically, and spiritually, that can be rocky terrain through which the Lord has to traverse to reach your spirit. 

 

So how do we position ourselves to have ears to hear?

 

  • We have to dial down the internal and external chatter

  • We have to clear out some of the mental mess

  • We have to avoid eating food that clogs up our ability to think and to hear

  • We have to guard our ear gates and eye gates

 

We must incline our ears. 

 

And let us not only hear with our ears but also with our hearts.

 

Incline your ear to wisdom and your heart to understanding Proverbs 2:2

 

Why does He need to have our ear?

 

He has need of us. He wants to remind us that we were fearfully and wonderfully made. He wants to assure us of His everlasting love for us. He wants to remind us of His word. He wants us to remember how we defeat our adversary. He wants to give us the next imperative for our kingdom assignment. He has plenty that He needs to share. And we get to reap rewards for listening.

 

There is blessing for the one who has an ear to hear.

 

Hearing increases discernment.
Hearing increases faith.
Those who hear bear fruit.
A sheep who knows the Shepherd’s voice is kept safe.
Hearing Him and responding in obedience is an act of love.

 

But he said, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and keep it!” Luke 11:28

 

Do you have ears to hear?

 

What barriers are in the way of your hearing? What will you do to make room to hear from Him?

 

LIVING FULLY is a holistic approach involving the mind, body and spirit. And we can nurture the spirit through prayer, meditation, bible study, and more but even greater than that we can commune with God through our listening and our obedience.

How To Avoid Getting Sick

In the name of Valentine’s Day we do it

In the name of Super Bowl Sunday we do it

In the name of Easter we do it

In the name of family traditions we do it

We eat ourselves sick.

 

Clever marketing and the manipulation of our taste buds have us coming back to the junk that makes us sick time and time again. The more we consume detrimental foods, the more prone we are to catching disease and the more sick we become.

 

So how do we avoid getting sick? We must stay away from foods that degenerate our health.

 

How can you have an immune system that’s healthy enough to fight off disease when all you’ve fed your body is trash masquerading as food? Surely Doritos, Poptarts, Cereal, and BBQ chicken and macaroni and cheese are not the building blocks for making your immune system strong and healthy?

 

I know, I know, it tastes good. So what? Is it good for you? Is it promoting strength, health, energy and vitality? Or is it breeding obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes, and heart disease?

 

Recently, my husband and I stopped in the store to pick up one thing. As soon as we hit the door we were bombarded by garbage. 

 

12 foot long display of Valentine candy. Just steps away from that a towering Super Bowl display laden with chips, dips and soda. Then we proceeded to walk past an end cap that was also full of sugar. I said to my husband, “I bet each end cap is full of sugar”. So I went to verify my hypothesis and indeed it proved true. 

 

And this is why heart disease is the #1 killer on the planet.

 

And this is why diabetes, high blood pressure and obesity run rampant in my community. 

 

GOD BUT!

 

He has an answer.

 

He said the leaves on the trees are for the healing of the nations (Revelation 22:2). 

 

“But blessed are your eyes for they see and your ears for they hear” Matthew 13:16

 

You can avoid getting sick when you have eyes to see. The next time you go grocery shopping search out LIVING FOODS. Let the scales fall from your eyes so that you can SEE all the cookies, cakes, chips, sodas, candy, packaged foods for what they really are, HEART DISEASE IN DISGUISE. Don’t be fooled by the costume of packaging. 

SEE

 

 

Eat LIVING food like this. This is similar to what my lunch looks like daily. You can find this recipe and more HERE

 

Hear what I am saying and receive the truth in love.

 

When you have seen and have heard, you KNOW the truth and the truth makes you free. 

 

 

You can be free from sickness

You can be free from disease

 

 

And when you are set free you can choose to WALK in freedom.

 

February is American Heart Month. Love yourself and love your heart by avoiding those things which are making you prone to get sick. Say NO to heart disease by not purchasing the trash and by eating more fresh vegetables, fruits, seeds, beans, legumes and moderate whole grains. Say YES to your heart health by going for a walk. 

 

Declare that you shall be in good health and prosper even as your soul prospers (3 John 1:2).

 

Thank God that you CAN do all things because He gives you strength (Philippians 4:13).  

 

You are worth it and sickness does not have to be your portion!

 

As always it is my prayer that you’ve been Inspired To Live Fully!

You Shall Wear A Crown

It would be an understatement to say that 2020 was rough but not to worry because you are the one who shall wear a crown.

 

Even in the midst of civil unrest, political turmoil, global pandemic and seemingly endless death God remained faithful. Many experienced His grace and favor. People reaped a harvest of time as many “busy” activities suddenly came to an end. Many reaped a harvest of health as they took the time to plan their meals, cook at home and since there was nowhere to go they took their neighborhoods getting plenty of exercise. Many saw a harvest in their finances as the Lord allowed them to recoup some of the money that would have been spent on travel, eating out and making unnecessary purchases. 

 

And there is a promise for the year ahead. God is crowning you with goodness.

 

You shall wear a crown.

 

 

You crown the year with a bountiful harvest; even the hard pathways overflow with abundance. Psalm 65:11

 

 

God will continue in this vein by crowning this year with bountiful harvest, causing even the hard paths to overflow. And not only is He crowning your year beloved, He is crowning YOU!

 

You shall Wear a crown.

 

 

Picture with me for a moment the Lord placing a royal diadem upon your head. He has selected the most precious, flawless gems and placed them in a crown of gold. He takes this crown and slowly approaches you. As you humbly bow, He places the diadem upon your head. And while the crown is heavy, He gently places His hand on your chin, lifting your head. As your head rises up and you meet His gaze, your spirit is strengthened all the more and the “weight” of the crown pales in comparison to the weight of His glory. 

 

 

You shall be a crown of beauty in the hand of the LORD, and a royal diadem in the hand of your God. Isaiah 62:3

 

 

Let me pronounce this prophetic decree over you and your household. 

 

You are the righteous of God. God dwells with you and you with Him. As His chosen beloved Child, you are an heir to the throne of grace. You have received His inheritance as your reward. Your year is crowned with a bountiful harvest. Overflow is your portion. Because of your obedience the blessing of the Lord overtakes you. You walk in radiant health. Your relationships are deep and fruitful. Your God ordained business ventures are blessed. Your household is blessed. You are blessed when you come and bless when you go. Goodness and mercy follow you all your days. You are crowned with goodness, glory, grace and honor. Love encircles your head. Your thoughts are true and praiseworthy as you are crowned with the mind of Christ. God’s wisdom is the nuggets and gems that ring your head. You are seated at His right hand. His right hand leads you, guides you and protects you as you walk in paths of righteousness for His namesake. Your year is marked with evidence of God’s faithfulness toward you. In Jesus Christ name I pray, Amen!

 

As always it is my prayer that you’ve been Inspired To Live Fully!
