Is Quitting an Option?

  I haven't written here in a long time about my death experience in the Fall of 2006.  I'm thinking of it now because of this email I just read about pushing through to victory through God's power and peace.

  In the Summer of 2006 I grew deadly ill but nobody could figure out what was wrong with me.  I won't belabor the agony but it felt like someone was holding an iron to my neck--for 3 months!  If I hadn't known about using clove for pain, I am certain I would not have been able to endure that Summer.

  In early Fall Robert took me to a natural healing center up by the Canadian border.  There I learned from an angel that I had internal shingles on the brain.  The owner began bee venom therapy to try to save my life.  IT WORKED!!!  YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

  I was at the center for 18 days while the bee venom began to heal my nerves.  When I came home, my 20 year old daughter gave me 5 bee stings a day in my head.  The venom took down the inflammation in my brain and restarted my immune system which kept shutting down from the shingles. 

  I received 5 bee stings a day for nearly a year when my naturopathic doctor pointed me to BodyTalk.  This is an amazing system of assisting the brain to know what it needs to focus on.  As soon as I took the introductory BodyTalk class (BodyTalk Access), the healing began immediately.  After 6 weeks of doing Access on myself, I was able to give up the bee stings entirely.  That is a day I will always remember!!

 After my brain started healing with the BodyTalk techniques, folks started asking me to work on them.  I've been giving BodyTalk sessions now for 18 1/2 years and it is such a blessing to be able to help people who had no hope.  I know what that was like.

   So, for me, what I had to press through was the concerns that I would never live through shingles on the brain.  Many people were praying for me and Robert took me to THE HEALING CENTER OF THE NORTHERN PLAINS.  Here I was prayed for and given some Scriptures to focus on.

  When the pain was the worst, I would read those Scriptures on healing OVER AND OVER!!  Death was at the door for nearly half a year but the Lord kept reminding me to read the healing Scriptures and focus on life.  I really doubt I'd be here if I had not pushed through the pain to believing that God wanted me well!!

  So, whatever your problem is, I urge you to find some Scripture verses about how God helps people with that problem.  This will take your concentration off of the problem and on to our God who can solve it!  The sweetness of being totally reliant on God for life is not something I'd care to go through again.  It's scary thinking that you're going to die and leave 3 children and a husband behind.  However, being so close to God that you know He is keeping you breathing is a tenderness that normal life won't bring.

 Let's all press on through our problems by leaning on our Heavenly Father who made us and who knows what we need to make it to the end of the day.   That sweetness of knowing He cares about me so much as to hold me through the long nights of pain is something that comfort and ease can't provide.  

  Here's a song about pressing on when that is what we must do. The wonderful news is that we don't have to do it alone!!  

  Pressing on towards the high calling of Christ!

I Hear His Whisper...

Don’t give up.

Beloved, when you’re in the middle of a test or unpleasant circumstance, don’t look for a quick exit. I know how difficult it is. I understand that sometimes it makes you want to run away and forget everything. But in the middle of the process, you are not alone. I’m with you every step of the way. Just as a pregnant woman must pass through the pains of labor, so you also must push through the birthing process of this trial. I promise, you will come out of this with new stores of favor and light.   I call for you to be content in the process, without needing an explanation that satisfies your impatience. If there is something you need to know, trust me to reveal it plainly—to pour out my wisdom and unveil the hidden secrets. Listen to my voice and follow its sound. I’ll take you to places of delicate pastures, where you can rest. Simply come closer, and my grace will give you the strength you need to get to the other side. I am with you. I will not leave you. Don’t give up!
