Very recently, I’ve learned I had to regulate my intake of Vitamin K. What, in my preacher voice, is Vitamin K? It is a vitamin found in green leafy vegetables (spinach, kale, collards, etc.) that assists with blood clotting. Why do I have to regulate my intake? Because as someone whose survived heart surgery, I now take an anti-coagulant (something to limit blood clotting). Although I still eat the veggies I love, I’m mindful to not ‘go overboard’ (such as having: a spinach salad for lunch on Monday; kale and cranberry salad with dinner on Tuesday and collards with smoked turkey on Wednesday). Did I mention I love my veggies? Just as I’ve had to learn to have a bit more balance in my physical diet; I’m learning to be more balanced spiritually (Ecclesiastes 3:1-8). What’s a spiritually balanced diet? Prayer/meditation + Personal Devotions + Corporate Worship + Work (engaging in actions that align with my belief system to positively change the arenas in which I work, live and worship) + Family Time + Fellowship with Friends. I must admit, there have been times when my scales were off balance but I am now very clear – every part is needed for me to enjoy having a balanced life. Blessings, Rev. Antoinette
