Health&WELL BEING

Food for the Soul: It’s Time to Forgive Yourself

There is someone who is working to undermine the gracious and saving work of Jesus in your life. This person has ruined a part of you, leaving a stain that won’t go away. This person has so negatively influenced your spirit that you have been stunted in your spiritual growth and they may have literally taken years away from your physical life. This person I’ve been describing…is yourself. I’m writing today to tell you it’s time you learn to forgive yourself. Paul wrote, “[God] made [Jesus] who knew no sin… to be sin…on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in [Jesus]” 2 Corinthians 5:21 (emphasis is mine).

1999-2023

When we sin, we feel remorse. But something is amiss when that remorse grows into crippling shame. Depending on what happened, there could be a period of time where we experience spiritual and emotional crisis while we deal with the raw aftermath and consequences of sin. But we must remember that the natural emotions we feel after we’ve messed up have a God designed purpose. God’s design for regret, guilt, and shame is repentance NOT debilitating self-hate! [Check these out: 2 Corinthians 7:8 – 10; Psalm 32:1 – 5]

We need a Biblical view of sin, it’s true. We need to know what sin is, what it does, and why God hates it. But we must

also have a Biblical view of how our God views us – His children who still struggle with and against sin. In this article, we are not talking about continual and deliberate sin. We are not discussing the theology of apostacy or what John calls practicing sin. Instead, we’re dealing with the sad reality that some of God’s precious children are living a stunted, distorted, and handicapped version of the life that God has prepared in Christ. God is constantly telling us to put down the weight of our past, to cast off the burden of our mistakes, to just let go of our sins, but we go around picking them up and placing them on our shoulders. This is no kind of existence for the redeemed people of God. This is not what freedom in Christ looks like! I’ll say it again, God’s design for regret, guilt, and shame is to lead us into repentance not debilitating self-hate.

5 Practical Steps to Promote

Self-Forgiveness

#1 Recreate Your Identity in Christ

z Disconnect the mistake from who you are.

z Challenge your thoughts, THINK about your thinking.

• Do we realize that so many of our thoughts are not true?

• Demand evidence before coming to conclusions about yourself.

• Trust what God says about you more

than what you think about yourself

• Don’t give equal value to your thoughts.

• Some of your ideas are great….and others are not.

z Write down for yourself a new identity. One that is Biblical and true.

z Example: I am a dearly loved, redeemed, cherished, highly valued, child of God.

#2 Sharply Rebuke the Inner Critic

z Our inner critic is intensely negative.

z We need to practice silencing this voice and play loudly the voice of affirmation from our Lord and our friends.

#3 Read verses on forgiveness, but apply them to self-forgiveness

z For example: Colossians 3: 9 – 13

#4 Write Yourself an apology

z Read it aloud to yourself

z Include a close friend

#5 Understand….this could be a faith-issue

z If we believe we are unlovable, unforgiveable, then we do not believe or trust in what God says about forgiveness, about the power and beauty of the gospel, about the saving work of Jesus.

z It’s like saying, “I’m sorry Jesus, your sacrifice is not far-reaching enough for me and my sins…. I’m just too sinful for you to heal.”

z If you believe the Word of God then let your beliefs and actions follow.

Peter and Judas both betrayed their loyalty to Jesus. They both committed terrible sins against Jesus. One couldn’t recover and ended his life committing suicide. The other, though destroyed inwardly for a time, found his self-worth in Jesus and went on to serve the King all his life. Consider too, the apostle Paul, who felt as if he were the chief or foremost of all sinners (1 Timothy 1:15, 16). Paul went on to write these words: “Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead” (Philippians 3:13).

What lies ahead is a life of kingdom service, of encouragement of the brethren, of joy, of victory, of glorifying God in the life that Jesus died for us to live. There is no glory for the Lord in the life that refuses to walk in the true reality of the gospel.

Are you ready? It’s time to forgive yourself!

Why Clean Wine and Coffee

A huge part of changing your health when it comes to what you are eating is simply to become aware of what it is you are consuming. The Standard American Diet (SAD) is filled with toxins, dyes, sugar and chemicals. I help my clients find better options and it starts with reading the product label as you CANNOT rely on the marketing information on the front of the package. Overtime, the toxins, chemicals and sugars we consume can cause serious health issues. 32% of Americans drink wine 2–5 times a week. 74% of Americans consume coffee every day. Did you know that the wine and coffee you are drinking is most likely filled with toxic pesticides, dyes, chemical additives, mold, and sugar?

This is why I became a consultant for Scout and Cellar. Not because I drink wine or coffee. I actually really don’t like either. I became a consultant because I could get behind Clean-Crafted Commitment. If you’re going to drink coffee and wine, why not make it “clean”? It’s better for you.

What does Clean-Crafted mean? It means that the grapes (or beans) are grown without toxic pesticides. It means they are produced without artificial processing aids or ingredients like dyes, flavorings, sulfites (this is what causes the pesky headaches) and sugar!

How do we know this? It’s sort of like our food that is labeled “FDA Organic”. It means certain guidelines must be followed. In the case of Scout and Cellar, the company works with independent labs that test the products. And best of all, there is full disclosure because every product Scout and Cellar creates is accompanied by a Soil-to-Sip report, a proprietary breakout of in-depth product details, including ingredients, fermenting/aging/bottling processes, and nutritional content. That blew my mind. When I researched wines from a liquor store, I really couldn’t find any ingredients or nutritional information. I did find Yellowtail, a wine we used to buy. It has 15g of added sugar per serving. A serving of wine is 5 oz. Your typical bottle of wine is 750 ml or 5 servings. 5 servings x 15g = 75g of sugar. That’s 51g over the daily suggested amount of added sugar per day you should consume. Wow.

And if you’re a coffee drinker, what about the mold and pesticides you’re drinking. And how many cups of coffee do you drink per day?

So, like what you eat, if you’re going to drink wine and or coffee, a small change can make a big difference to the amount of toxins, chemicals and sugar you are ingesting. I would love the opportunity to share with you personally what Scout and Cellar has to offer. I can come to your house and give a little wine tasting to you and your friends for free. I could even brew some coffee for you. Just drop me a note to get that going. www.scoutandcellar.com/lidajohnson

Alternative Medicine: A Way Forward

Working as a healthcare provider I’ve noticed an increase in stress and anxiety among people of all ages. As such, I’d like to take this opportunity to share information about A Way Forward, a non-profit organization in Longmont that is here to assist all people in their journey through life.

Our mission is to smash barriers to recovery and create more access to comprehensive, evidence-based services focused on substance use and mild to moderate mental health disorders and create a community of belonging and healing in the St. Vrain Valley.

In 2022, A Way Forward began offering a series of mental and emotional health classes. The classes use a Hazelden Betty Ford curriculum, which is based on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and uses workbooks and accompanying DVD. The eight-week classes each address a different one of the following subjects: Anxiety, Depression, Grief, Anger, Guilt & Shame, and Self-Esteem and Self-Compassion. The pandemic had a strong negative impact on mental health especially increased Anxiety and Depression (45% increases according to the CDC). The classes attract people in the recovery community as well as community members as a whole.

Harm reduction is also a critical topic to address with overdose deaths in 2022 exceeding 107,000 in the US. A Way Forward receives bulk shipments of Narcan, a drug which can reverse the effects of an opioid overdose. Free Narcan training and packages are available free at A Way Forward. On-Site trainings have also been held at outreach partners including The Inn-Between, The Suites, and a local school.

We fill a gap in community nonprofit services by offering wrap-around services and evidence-based recovery classes facilitated by peers. In addition to support groups and structured classes, we provide individual peer recovery coaching with Certified Recovery Coaches. We are open 7 days a week and all services are free. Inclusive access to high quality services is paramount and for that reason, all of our structured classes use Hazelden Betty Ford materials, known world-wide for their recovery services. Peers provide all services. All our staff have walked the road of recovery either personally or with family members. Evidence suggests that a peer-supported community program focused on self-determination can have a significant positive impact on recovery from substance addictions and homelessness.

Self-Reported Outcomes as of 2022

z 100% reported feeling more hopeful

z 98% improved ability to deal with stress

z 96% felt less depressed

z 96% less anxious

z 100% reported having more tools to handle cravings

z 100% reported benefiting from a sense of community

We have had the honor to touch many lives in our community. Our total client contacts in-house increased from 2,504 in 2021, the first year we opened, to 5,418 in 2022. For more information about A Way Forward https://awfnobarriers.org

Find The Courage To Ask For Help

The society norm tells us that asking for help is a sign of weakness or failure. I disagree, asking for help is a sign of confidence in yourself knowing that you want to take the next step. It’s a vulnerability, and it gives someone else the opportunity to be a blessing to you.

When it comes to your health and fitness goals, don’t be afraid to ask for fitness and nutritional help from a qualified, experienced, Certified Personal Trainer. You’re asking for directions or a blueprint that will save you a lot of frustration, time, and money.

Most people don’t have the fitness knowledge or the consistent motivation to do it on their own and that’s ok. Take the first step by asking for help in this area and contact me for Mobile Personal Training where I come to you, or we can meet virtually if you prefer. This will give you the blueprint you need, plus accountability, and motivation.

If exercise consistency and intensity is something you struggle with, you need to find a workout partner or group. If you don’t have a workout place of support in your life, check out my fitness group classes: Mobility & Pain-Relief Class Mondays at 8:30am, Interval/ Strength Training Tuesdays at 9:30am & Wednesdays at 7pm, and CoreFirst Trainer Class Fridays at 9:30am. We all have to start somewhere and all fitness levels are welcome.

Start by finding the courage to ask for help and I’ll meet you right where you are. Push past the doubt and discomfort and you can achieve success you never thought possible. Contact Tracy Rewerts, NASM Certified Personal Trainer and Corrective Exercise Specialist at TimeForChangePersonalTraining.com or call 303-828-2856.

United Power Member-Owners

My name is Ginny Buczek. I am the incumbent director for the West District of United Power. It is an honor to represent the members of United Power. I have been a committed member of the United Power community for 32 years and remain focused on the families and businesses of our community. Quality of life, successful businesses and strong, prosperous communities depend on reliable, safe, affordable power.

Happy 1st birthday to our beautiful Ella Paisley! You are our biggest blessing. Mom and Dad love you so much.

Happy 7th Birthday our dearest Ariah. Shine bright and keep on dancing. Mom and Dad love you dearly.

“Happy birthday Jake! Your life is about to pick up speed and blast off into the stratosphere. Wear a seat belt and be sure to enjoy the journey. We all love you!

As a United Power Board Member my continued longterm commitment to our communities and civic groups connects me to the members of United Power. As a not-forprofit United Power Co-op can focus on our members’ priorities. When I am talking to members I hear two phrases, “Keep my lights on” and “Keep my rates low”. Reliability and affordability continue to be the top concerns of United Power members.

United Power was among the most reliable Distribution systems in the country in 2022, as measured by industry standards. Not all power outages can be prevented. Equipment fails, cars seem to find power poles, and weather will always be a factor, but investing in continuous maintenance, system upgrades, technology and our dedicated employees will support reliability.

United Power has not had a rate increase in three years despite inflation and supply issues pushing material costs dramatically higher. One measure taken by the Board to address price increases was approving the 2023 Capital Construction in the Fall so materials could be purchased in the most cost effective and timely manner.

Your co-op advocates for your interests as a member/owner at the Local, State, and National level. I was elected by the Board as United Powers’ Director on the Colorado Rural Electric Association Board. CREA represents 23 Co-ops providing electric service to over 1,000,000 Colorado residents. I am the current President of the CREA, having been elected by the other 22 Co-op Directors. Being President of Colorado Co-op’s Statewide organization allows me to advocate in the interest of United Power members.

My experience serving in every officer position on both the United Power and CREA Boards, hundreds of hours of Elective Cooperative education, and listening to you, the member, has provided the experience, knowledge, and community connection to serve the best interest of the members. I would be honored to serve you, the members, for another term.

Thank you for your continued support and interest in Your Co-Op.

Happy 1st Birthday, Aden! It seems like just yesterday you were brand new. Now look at all the things you can do. 0n your big day we wish you nothing but the happiest and brightest future. Love Mom, Dad and Liam.

Real E$tate Re$ource$

Purchasing a home is one of the most exciting decisions one will ever make. Unfortunately, for many, that excitement is served up with a whopping side of stress. While you may never erase all of the stress associated with home-buying, with the right mindset, and the right toolset, you can certainly minimize the stress of finding and buying your dream home.

1. Get pre-approved. Making sure you are able to get a mortgage will reduce the stress of the home-buying process, because you know you’re eligible before you even begin hunting, automatically taking that stress factor off your plate. That’s not the only way pre-approval will reduce stress – it also makes the home search easier. Many sellers won’t even work with a buyer who is not pre-approved, so you automatically open up your housing pool when you get pre-approved.

2. Find the right budget and stick to it. Money is a huge source of stress when buying a house. Figure out exactly how much house you can afford, and refuse to even consider a home outside of that budget.

3. Make a Needs vs. Wants list. Similar to sticking to a budget, understanding your needs (three bedrooms) in relation to your wants (a gourmet kitchen) can save you time and energy during the home hunt. It will also help you decide what tradeoffs you are willing to make when it comes to price versus the wish list.

4. Work with a Realtor you trust. Working with a professional real estate agent is the number one way to reduce the stress of buying—or selling—a home. Find an agent

who specializes in your market and similar clients—first-time buyers, move-up clients, vacation homes, etc. While many think hiring an agent will make the home-buying process costlier, agents can help save money in the negotiating process. Regardless of money saved, working with an agent—who knows the process inside and out—will save you a great deal of stress.

5. Understand the current market. The real estate market is much like the weather, it’s ever changing and can even be different just a few miles away or with a different type of property. Work with your Realtor to understand what is going on and what you should expect in the negotiations.

6. Give yourself time. With so many variables in the home buying process, try not to cut yourself too close on time. The appraisal or loan approval process can take longer than expected so make sure you have a plan in case of a delay.

A Team Effort

If you have ever been a part of a group of people trying to work together, make decisions together, create something, or collaborate in any way, you know it can be challenging. What makes the process exciting (varying viewpoints, learning styles, levels of creativity, ideas, communication styles, etc.), is also what makes it incredibly frustrating!!

A family is nothing more than a small team that operates in a similar fashion. Each individual not only comes with their own opinion, strengths, communication styles and the like, but they also come with their own deeper level issues, some that they may not even be aware of.

Thus begins the beauty of navigating family dynamics when trying to make decisions regarding an older loved one. But this article is not about the pitfalls you may encounter, it’s about ways to grow and strengthen in the process. Here are some tips.

1. Begin the conversation early: Preventing fires is always easier than escaping a burning building. Everyone will age, and most will need some sort of help when they do, so as a family, discuss what that might look like for your older adult.

2. Decide on some ground rules: Make decisions on how you wish to communicate

with one another, taking into account everyone’s wants and needs if possible. Commit to listening to each other, honoring opinions, and being kind. These are the things that will have a lasting impact on you, long after your loved one is gone.

3. Don’t go it alone: Engage the help of resources to help you with the process. If history and arguments are keeping your family from even having a conversation, consider a mediator. If hurt and emotional trauma is impeding the process, consider a counselor. Working through conflict and emotional issues can bring new life and freedom to the process that once seemed “stuck”.

4. Keep your eye on the ball: Keep returning to the goal of the wellbeing of the older adult. Keep the priorities at the forefront and hold each other accountable when the conversation strays. Do your best to check your ego in the process. Commit to doing things with integrity and love, for the betterment of you, your loved ones, and everyone involved.
