            At the beginning of this journey, it was a journey of identity. I was finding out who I was and this carried over not only in the physical but also in the spiritual. Who had God made me to be? Who was I in the spirit? What was I like in the soul? These I was discovering.

            All along, I had been quoting Psalms 103-1-5 over and over and would concentrate on verse 3 where it says, �Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases.� When one day I read those five verses and verse 5 stood out like it was highlighted. Verse five says, �Who satisfies your mouth with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle�s.� I just wanted to throw this in because we tend to skip this verse because of not really knowing its allusion. The food that I had been eating was some of the healthiest available, and I was eating it because it would be good for my immune system. In light of the diet I was eating, this scripture jumped off the pages and gave me understanding that God would provide good things for my mouth as stated in the first part of the verse. This of course was the healthy food I was eating and the result would be that my youth would be restored like the eagles. Now I can not go into the story of the eagle but after a horrible, weak, molting period the eagle regains strength and is restored to flying high. Of course this spoke to me in my current situation. Perhaps this scripture should be viewed differently by many believers. Many people need to trust God to restore health and actually make good foods satisfying to them.
