Day 39 - Incredible, Edible Eggs!

"Which of you fathers, if your son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead? Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!" Luke 11: 11-13

It was a new day, a new phase within my 100-Day-Journey. It was a new stepping out.

So far, I have been adhering to the strict discipline of Dr. Ford's monthlong purification diet. So far, I have only had to obey, to follow orders, to do as I was told. So far, the only choice I've had is to follow or not follow, to adhere or break the rules.

But now I was faced with a choice.

Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in him. Fear the LORD, you his saints, for those who fear him lack nothing. The lions may grow weak and hungry, but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing. Come, my children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the LORD. Whoever of you loves life and desires to see many good days, keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking lies. Psalm 34: 8-13

Today was the first day of reintroducing foods. And so I made my choice. And the winner was ... EGGS!

Although I didn't think of it earlier in the day, this was a fitting choice, with eggs representing new life.

"Go, stand in the temple courts," he said, "and tell the people the full message of this new life." Acts 5: 20

I also want to add cheese and dairy, but decided to wait until I consult with Dr. Ford on Monday. I have a lunch date on Tuesday and it would make meal choices much easier if I could have cheese at this particular restaurant.

In the meantime, I started the day with a leftover chicken breast and a fresh plum, postponing the potential negative reaction to this favorite and long-missed food until lunchtime.

So midday came, and I sat down to test my pulse. Then I dug into a plateful of scrambled eggs with bacon, and a salad on the side. 30 minutes later I took my pulse, and again at 60 and 90 minutes. There was no discernable difference.

It was a victory! I could eat eggs! I passed the test and I could eat eggs! Thank you Lord, I could eat eggs!

For everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving. 1 Timothy 4: 4
