There is a new study out that is talking about how healthy it is to involve God in your everyday decisions.

How do you involve God in your Everyday Decisions???

This weekend...It is time to Spring Ahead!  You have to set your clock ahead an hour Saturday night... or else you may be LATE!!  

Have you ever forgotten to change your clock???  What happened???

A BEAUTIFUL BODY STARTS WITH BREAKFAST

*Eating breakfast boosts weight loss efforts by kick starting your metabolism.  Studies show that breakfast eaters have success at losing and maintaining weight loss compared to those who skip.

 *Improves concentration so you can move about your day with more intellect.  Research shows that people who eat a high fiber breakfast have better concentrations levels then those who eat a high fat breakfast. 

*Protects your heart.  One study noted that people who consumed whole-grain cereals had a lower risk of heart disease. 

Christine Avanti’s Breakfast Tips

1. Eat a balanced meal of lean protein and high fiber carbs, like her Spring Asparagus Mini Frittatas and a bowl of steel cut oats.  Find this healthy recipe at www.christineavanti.com.

2.  If you don’t have time for breakfast, grab a Kashi TLC bar, I love their peanut butter flavor.  It’s packed with good fats, fiber, protein and carbs.  Another quick option is Kashi Go Lean Hi Protein Cereal…it’s got 13 grams of protein and it’s loaded with all natural high fiber carbs.  Add some skim milk and you’ve got a breakfast of champions! 

3.  Eat breakfast within one hour of waking up so that you don’t have a energy crash and crave sugar later in the afternoon.

There is a contest for college scholarships for kids who make their prom outfits out of duct tape!!! What is the most creative thing that you have ever used duct tape for???

We were heartbroken about the terrible loss that the band Addison Road suffered this past week. While on tour with Sanctus Real, their RV burned to the ground and they lost everything. Thank you so much for praying for them, it's been a really tough time. But God is faithful!

God wouldn't let me sleep after hearing about this. He laid some friends of mine on my heart. Geoff and Jill Ludlow of Full Sail Ministries. They travel with their family in an RV spreading the word of God. I felt that God wanted me to call them and see if Addison Road could use their RV. Turns out, they didn't need it until June and after hearing Addison Road's story, Geoff jumped at the chance to offer them the use of their RV for the remainder of the tour!

Jenni shared that they were considering leaving the tour and heading home. They were even questioning their career choice. It's amazing to see how God can use us to make a difference! For Geoff and his family, it was sharing their RV. For you, it may be something different. We are all called to reach out to those around us and share the love of Jesus.

Thank you for praying. Thank you for making a difference!

Thanks for praying for Addison Road. The band is on tour with Sanctus Real and we just learned from the guys in Sanctus Real yesterday that Addison Road's RV caught fire and all of their clothing, including the clothing and toys for their baby was lost. Learn more about how you can help here!

Dr. Mehmet Oz and Dr. Nicholas Perricone are two of the country's leading advisors in health and beauty.

Both of them recommend high-antioxidant superfruits for their skin cell-protective properties.

Antioxidants are the body's only way to combat the harmful oxidative effects of pollutants and sun damage at the cellular level.

Their advice is to eat plenty of "superfruits" with rich, dark and bright colors. The superfruits are known to have a high ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity).

Two of the highest ORAC superfruits are blueberries and acai berries. This smoothie combines them both into a single, nutrient-balanced and delicious drink that is a great breakfast or even a post-workout meal replacement.
