Dear all friends and supporters of Kingdom Kids Nutrition,
As I sit here on this rainy Minnesota morning I began to
ponder what does Kingdom Kids Nutrition really means and stand for. Why are we doing what we are doing? As friends and supporters of KKN I think it
is important that you really understand what it is you are supporting so, I
thought this would be the perfect time to put words to what has been bottled up
I my head and heart about what Kingdom Kids Nutrition means and stands for.
When I first decided to teach classes I was praying about a
name for my business and the name Kingdom Kids Nutrition popped into my
head. I wrote it down in my
journal. I then got a picture in my mind of two children a boy and
a girl both wearing crowns on their heads; they were bright and smiling ear to
ear. That looks good I thought and the
name and logo of my business were born!
(Thanks to my amazing sister in-law Anne)
As I sit here I recalled that picture to my mind. I see these two children with crowns upon
their heads and it made me think, “Wow, they are a picture of what it is to be
a child of God, a child of the king.”
The kids in this picture know who they are, they are royalty. They have a heritage, a destiny on their
lives, and call to be fulfilled. They
have influence and power because they are a son and daughter of the king. Their smiles show that they are filled with
confidence, they are healthy and strong, and most apparent is that they are
filled with love and JOY.

Well, our mission is to bring restoration to these children
and families! We are here to restore all
that has been stolen from the lives of these children and families. We are here to replace the tarnished crowns
with ones that sparkle. To bring back
the smiles to their faces. To build their
confidence, teach them their identity, and show them they are of great value,
they are little princes and princesses that have power and influence, with a
call and purpose for their lives. We want to restore their health so they can
be strong and walk in their destiny. But
most of all that they would have a HOPE and a future that is good and overflowing
with love and JOY! We have seen this transformation with our
daughter and our family. It is our
expectation and a joy to see this happen over and over in the lives of children
and families we encounter!
There is also a broader call on KKN that goes beyond families
in crisis. As I continued to ponder what
is KKN, I was reminded that we are all
children of God. There are many hurting
adults who have lost their identities, and are weak and unhealthy themselves. We have been working with many adults already
to discover who they are and what the call upon their lives is, thru teaching
them to eat healthy and strengthen their bodies, bringing clarity to their
minds, they are more equip to recognize the destiny on their life and walk it
out. Many of these opportunities have
been with organizations like Adult and Teen Challenge and Union Gospel
Mission. It is so fun to see God using
us to bring hope to the hopeless, and restoration where there has been
devastation.
And to those families that there kids really do not have any
major “health” concerns but want to do what is best for their families, we come
along side of them as they strengthen
their families through nutrition, building identity and strengthening values! We have already been doing reaching out to
families through a monthly community night at our local co-op Valley
Natural. (We will be there this Tuesday
for Healthy Kids Night- I will be making lemon-lime all natural soda with them-
join us. It is a free event.)

You may all be thinking right now, how does this all have to
do with NUTRITION? Well the definition
of nutrition in the dictionary is the act of or process of nourishing or being
nourished. Upon further study of the
word nourish it means to sustain with food, supply with what is necessary for
life, health, and growth, to cherish, foster, keep alive, to strengthen and
build up. I was so excited when I read
this. Because I go in and speak about
our story and teach about how to eat well, that prayer changes things, how to’s
of eating well with kids, special diets, etc…but I would always say to my
hubby, “I don’t teach nutrition.” I always think of nutrition as what vitamins
are in what foods and how do carbs and proteins work, stuff like that. But looking at the definition of what the
broader word nutrition means it totally fits.
I go out to speak and teach people that I cherish, to supply them with
what is necessary for life, health and growth.
To foster them, strengthen them, and build them up!
Our hearts desire is to get our story out so we can bring
freedom to children and their families. We have seen how the power of our testimony
has brought freedom to so many, now it is time to expand the territory and
bring freedom to the masses! Thank YOU SO
MUCH for your encouragement and support!
What to watch for ahead….a new website, children’s “foodie”
classes, parenting seminars, more “foodie” classes, upcoming Health
Conference…Feb. 22-23 in Burnsville, MN (Great Christmas Gift for that Health Nut on your list...tickets on sale Dec)!
Blessings to all of you and your families,
Kelli
