Passover and the tomato sorrows!

יום פסח I hope you are all having a blessed Passover week. I am going tonight to a Seder at Harei Yeshua but I do have to bring my own food. But Passover is not really about the food. It is about how we were redeemed from sin by the blood of the Lamb (Yeshua). When we drink the wine (His blood) and partake of the matzo (His bruised body). We are redeemed from the curse of the law. It will be a wonderful time with my brothers and sisters in Yeshua, as we share together what He has done for us.
Well there was just a small little damper on the day. This morning I went out on the deck and discovered that my large tomato plants had frozen and were toast. It is strange though that the small plants coming up did not seem to be effected. Oh well, that is what I get for rushing the season and not taking my plants inside on a cold night. You cannot fight or trick nature.
My raw food journey is still going very well. I had to do some clothes shopping yesterday and I have went down two sizes, and I know that I will reach the proper weight. I did not go into this trying to lose weight but instead it was to get healthy. At this time I can say that I have gotten both. It is amazing to me that all those times I have tried all of the different diets that did not work, that all along it was just as simple as eating what Elohim created me to eat. It just goes to show that His ways are always true and streight are His paths. Thank you Adoni for your Word and Your wisdom.
Shalom till my next post.

Why is the Moon on my blog page?

Here is a little bit about why I acknowledge the new moon every month. As we have went out of the darkness into light by the grace of Yeshua, so I look at the moon and pray that all my ways can follow that path. When I see that first sliver of the new moon each month I praise Yeshua for His wonderful gift to the World, and to me.

The system of keeping time in the Old Testament was based on the cycles of the moon rather than a solar calendar like we use today. In fact, the Hebrew term for "month," chodesh, means "new [moon]," referring to the new moon that began the month. The lunar cycle played a significant role in the cultural and religious life in ancient Israel so that time could be counted by the cycles of the moon (Ex. 19:1). The New Moon was a festival day, observed by burnt offering and sacrifices as well as banquets (Num 29:6, 1 Sam 20:5, 1 Chron 23:31). The New Moon festival was often listed along with Sabbath as an important religious observance (2 Kings 4:23, Ezek 45:17). Like Sabbath and other rituals, it also came to symbolize empty and self-centered religion when not accompanied by faithfulness to God in other areas (Isa. 1:14, Amos 8:5). Likewise, the middle of the month or the Full Moon was an important marker of the passing of time. Two of Israel’s most important festivals fell in mid-month (Passover, Tabernacles; cf. Psa 81:3).

I hope that all will use this feature for a praise to the Lord.
