As living temples of the Most High God we have responsibilities to take care of ourselves as best as we can!  Recently I found out personally just how important this is!  I had a health wake up call from the Lord.  You see I was destroying my temple by what I ate and all the sudden the temple began to be torn down.

       During this time I went to the doctors for a routine exam and blood work.  I have PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) and it does a lot of not nice things to my body.  I had tried everything I could to fix it.  They say that if you lose weight that you may be able to get rid of the symptoms.  I tried every diet in the book including a few Christian weight loss programs.  Nothing helped.  The week before my doctors appointment my mom had given me a magazine with a diet in it to check out.  I praise the Lord that she gave it to me.  I read the plan and decided to start the Monday of my doctors  appointment.

       After my appointment I was feeling pretty good about my plan to rebuild my temple.  Then crisis hit.  The PCOS doctor's nurse called and said I needed to get to my doctor's office immediately because of what they found in my blood work.  High sugar level, high liver enzymes, severe anemia, and thyroid issues.  All of which stemmed from the PCOS and the anemia that I got from bleeding too much.  They put me on iron and diabetic medications.  Then came a week full of doctors appointment and another medication for my thyroid. 

       My husband and I were praying that God would heal me completely.  Then came a miracle!  I woke up and I could see without my glasses which I have had for over 20 years!  Then we knew that God was working and healing me as I took steps towards a healthier life.  Thank you Jesus!  Two days after starting the thyroid medicine I was off that too!  Praise the Lord!

       This is what prompted me to write this web site.  I wanted to share with you the tools I have learned about living healthy and rebuilding our living temples!  The first thing I wanted to share was the diet that I had found.  Since I started the plan I was on I have modified it quite a bit.  In fact it is now it is a totally different program that the Lord showed me in a vision.  Now mind you for the first few weeks I followed a conventional diet.  The diet I was on was not what God had taught me earlier in the year...that is why I had to modify it!  I am down to my lowest weight in 10 years but I still have a long way to go.  That is why I want to invite you along on my journey! 

I am currently in the process of writing a book all about what the Lord has taught me.  I should have the book done and on the web site by the end of October.  I would love for you to join me in building your Healthy Living Temple.

June:

God really began to move in me in June!  I took more time to pray, more time to study God's word and more time to figure out how I got to be the way I was.  An unhealthy living temple!   But God had begun His great healing and I was eating healthy and feeling healthier.  By the end of my 3rd week of the diet I was off all medications!!!!  Praise the Lord!  What a blessing that was!  The first doctor I had seen told me I would be on medications for the rest of my life.  I told him I wouldn't and that I didn't receive that report.  I am so blessed that God began His healing in my life during this month.

July:

Wow!  Praise God!  By July 4th I had lost over 30 lbs.  It was another miracle!  I still had to go into the gynecologist for more tests and a biopsy this month though.  The biopsy had to be sent to a specialist because it had polyps and abnormal cells.  The cancer curse word came up in conversation.  It again brought fear into my heart but determined to stand on God's word for my complete healing I pushed the fear away in prayer.  At the end of July I had a small exploratory surgery of my uterus because of the biopsy.  God performed another miracle!!!!  Praise the Lord.  When they took samples from all over the uterus they found no abnormal cells, no polyps and no cancer!  My God is bigger then cancer!

August:

I was so looking forward to the beginning of August because that was the time for the Joy Worship Conference that my husband and I get to help at!  I had lost 60 lbs.  What a miracle!  Another miracle was that I was going to have to get all new praise garments!  I was told not to do too much lifting because of my surgery.  I tried my best but began to bleed extremely bad...ruining 3 new praise garments. :-(  But the last night of the conference the Lord set me free to worship with out worrying about the bleeding.  It was a very intimate time with the Lord were I felt His healing come upon my spirit!  It wasn't a physical healing this time...but a spiritual release!  You see, it has been my desire all my life to dance.  I love to dance for the Lord...and that night I danced before the Lord like I was in the room all by myself and not surrounded by others!  It was a miracle!  August was a slower losing month because of the surgery. But I praise God for all He did!

September:

Yesterday September 3rd was my 12 week weigh in!  Glory to God!  He has been teaching me how to eat healthy and I am feeling so much better!  Not to mention I have now lost 80 lbs and close to 70 inches off my body.  What a miracle!  If you had told me that I would be here today saying this I would have said you were crazy!  People with PCOS can't lose like this.  God is healing the PCOS!  I believe I am set free by the blood of Jesus and by His stripes I am healed!  I still have a little over 40 lbs to go to get to the weight I want to be at for health but I know with God's help I can do it!   In Christ I will have the victory and I will live healthy and have more energy to praise the Lord!  At the end of September I have now lost 90 lbs and over 85.75 inches!  Praise God!  For continued progress I have opened a journal in the Building a Healthy Living Temple Forum called Kristin's Triumph.  Click below to enter!
