From 'test' to 'testimony"

Turn your 'test' into your 'testimony'
Joel Osteen

We all face struggles, challenges or even tragedies in life.
Not everyone will agree with your decisions.
You may not realize that you're making choices at that time.
Things might just seem crazy to you?

This morning, I was reading a post from a friend who teaches raw food lifestyle to help people experience vibrant health.
He is angry and disappointed with Paula Deen's choice to hide her diabetes for the past 3 years -
all the while promoting very unhealthy ways of eating - the direct cause of her type 2 diabetes.
Now she is a spokesperson for a pharmaceutical company, promoting drugs for diabetes management.
Continuing to promote an unhealthy foods, while profiting from promoting prescription drugs.

I understand my friend's frustrations.

What strikes me, though....

We all make decisions that make sense to us 'at that time'.
We do the best we know how, with the knowledge we have-
our present emotional and intellectual intelligence.

Paula Deen has a great opportunity here to turn her 'test' of diabetes
into a 'testimony' for the masses to relate to.
She will have an amazing story of following the SAD - standard American diet and succumbing to it's effects - diabetes.
She will have tried the pharmaceutical drugs to manage her diabetes.
She'll most likely travel the same path as other Americans.
More drugs, many side effects of those chemicals, and eventually insulin shots to try to manage 'a tired pancreas'.

This path will provide a great testimony of natural, living foods -
how they will turn Paula's health around and cure her type 2 diabetes!
This natural healing happens all the time, but to people like you and me.
People who don't have influence like Paula Deen.

I'm not angry with Paula Deen's choices.
I'm looking forward to her eventual realization -
her testimony after the test.................. ❀
