Something Nubian

By La Trecia aka Reiki Ra-Ess

I have extreme food allergies, so it makes me fearful of almost everything, especially to eat certain foods

I began to question it and if God wanted me to be fat?

And I became that!

And that made me question other things about God

If I am allergic to red grapes, iceberg lettuce, tree nuts, and cherry tomatoes (and that list goes on) what would the other answers be?

I began to realize the things that I was allergic to wasn’t accessible growing up, and did not experience different foods until I was older and able to ask for what I wanted or cared for myself

I wasn’t malnourished as a child but our eating structure was not all natural either.

My mother cooked most of our meals from scratch such as scalloped potatoes, cakes, and soups, but our veggies were canned and we rarely ate fruits or salads

So when I began to talk to the creator about why certain foods did not agree with me, I was shown 4 things:

To be grateful 😮 😳
My mother always said “be grateful for what you have?”
That taught me: Just because I can not eat what I want does not mean I wasn’t eating at all

Grow where I am planted ☘️
It wasn’t until I met my husband that we began to grow our own food, foods that I can eat and love to, not potatoes but corn, greens, zucchini, and squash.
Being stable in the mind helps to be stable in life and my husband and I grew together with our plants in our garden.

Think outside the box 🎁
This life is a gift of alternatives; I learned I was allergic to red grapes and lettuce in the most embarrassing way, by breaking out into hives in front of my friends and non immediate family! I couldn’t breathe or stop itching! My face became disfigured and I thought I was never going to be the same again the first couple of times. Well I was never the same again, although I looked the same, my food choices grew out of fear. I would only eat what I knew and didn’t not want to try new things (people or places) and that did not work in my favor! I love donuts, tacos, mayonnaise, burgers, hotdogs, candy (especially chocolate) and soda!

Of course, I ate more than that but those were always in reach!
Because I felt like I was being punished by God I became rebellious in ways that was self destructive and then I learned about other foods that were similar to those that I could not eat and implemented those into my diet, most by then were to improve my health because I had begun to have issues. I had to get out of my comfort zone and show my gratitude for a renewed mindset

Speak positivity into my life 🧬
I literally did say that God wanted me to be fat! Out loud. And that was not kind to myself or the U-N-I-Verse and I forgave myself for it because the road back to recovery has been a long one
Once I began to speak better words into my circumstances, my world changed daily
I even viewed the Most High different

It was nature that changed the relationship and the only way truly be saved was by living and thinking organically
Anything that is created by or lead out of fear is not how the Creator wants us to live, that is not God or at least the one I serve.

As I reflect on my journey with food allergies, I realize how it shaped my perspective on gratitude, growth, creativity, and positive self-talk. The lessons learned have been invaluable, reminding me to appreciate the abundance in my life, to nurture growth where I am, to think creatively in challenging situations, and to speak positivity into my existence. My faith has been renewed through this process, showing me that true salvation and healing come from living and thinking organically, free from fear.
