Hi again,
We had a great day on Sabbath but, seeing as Cora did such a wonderful post about it, I'll save you the time of reading about it twice. I do want to share, though, about the fantastic day that I had on Friday. I don't normally work in my Bismarck office on Fridays, but I had received a special request to do so.
The gal who called was in a class with me last Fall in Bismarck. This means that she's a beginner in BodyTalk but was needing some upper module work done. She also made an appointment for her son, whom I learned later is a BodyTalk practitioner a year longer than I am. She also brought her parents in who had medical appointments in town that day.
At first, when Mary Ann called, I had told her that my usual days up there are Tuesday and Thursday. However, when I thought about the chance to have 4 new clients, I decided to go up and do it. What a GREAT day it was--after I got there. Oh my!
You see, the guys have been working on my CP (Crysler Pacifica) because it won't let you put gas in easily. It takes forever to fill and then it only fills half the tank. So my fellows had spent parts of 2 days fixing a PART of the problem.
They were sure that I was good to go so I took off with the CP Friday morning. A few miles out of Bismarck, all of a sudden the gas gauge dropped to nearly empty. I called Robert immediately and he said that it could just be a censor OR it could be that the problem was only partly fixed and that I REALLY was almost out of gas. Although they had put in 11 gallons at home, ever since we've had this problem, it won't burn the other half tank of gas.
Sure enough, just before I reached the first Bismarck exit where I get off to head for my office, I RAN OUT OF GAS. I was glad that I'd left early but now what could I do but call my hero, Robert, AGAIN and ask him what to do. Needless to say, I was shook up, and it really helped that there was a hitchhiker on the other side of the road--NOT!!!
Robert called a taxi for me and I made it to my office just a few moments after my 4 clients did. I quickly set up things; then did a little BT on myself; and set to work. Getting to work was the best thing as I quickly got wrapped up in the sessions. Robert called our Jackson friends and made arrangements for David to get some gas in my car at the end of the day, but that comes later.
It was fascinating working on 3 generations of family members. First I worked on the grandfather who has heart issues and lower back pain. I spent a lot of time getting that back to release and, when he crossed his legs later on, I could see that he had much less pain. He was pleased and gave me a big hug before he left at the end of the day--totally cool!
Then I worked on the daughter who soon will be a grandmother. She is a BodyTalk practitioner but has not been having any real success. She and her son were going to open an office in Willistin but the building got run into by a car and is closed down. We worked on the issues that were keeping her from feeling like a success and now I believe she is ready to begin working with the public. AWESOME!
Next was the grandson who has suffered from test anxiety. He wants to become a Certified BodyTalk Practitioner but blanked on the oral exam when he went in for the test. This 21 year old man (who has been in BT for 6 years) told me later that he felt like a veil was lifted from his face and now he feels like he can test! It's so wonderful to see people being transformed during their sessions. They come in with hangups and the BodyTalk techniques release them so that people can begin again to pursue their dreams!
Lastly was the grandmother whose hero brother died in 1957. That's the year that I was born, so I remember the year, and she's been holding in to that grief ever since. Sure, the tears poured out and she went through 3 Kleenix, but those tears have been waiting to pour out for over 50 years. This woman gave me the biggest embrace that I have ever had when her session was finished! Now can you see why I love my work so much?
It was also a joy when they asked if I would work on another one of their 17 children! This woman has not been able to conceive and the medical system has not been able to help her either. I told them that I was sure that BT could help as it has helped many people to both conveive and carry their babies to term. Isn't that wonderful? They thought that they would stop in on their way home (which was a 3 hour drive one way) and give her the good news that there is hope yet that she may be a mama some day!
After all of that, here comes my brother in Christ, David Jackson, with his sweet babies. They helped me carry everything out to David's van and soon we were parked by my CP on the interstate. I held the funnel, as David dumped in the gas, and I shared how grateful I was for him to be my brother in the Lord. Isn't it strange how I am so comfortable with this black man while my own brother who lives in Bismarck is a total stranger to me. Thank God that I'm a part of the family of God. AMEN?
Well, my faithful CP started right up and David followed me to the Oasis on the East edge of Bismarck. As he filled his gas jug we talked about how he is learning to speak Spanish now and I was just so thrilled to see his desire to learn a new language. It is so wonderful to see adults learning new things--this thrills me every time I see it!
As I filled my CP, ever so slowly, David washed my windows and I rejoiced in his window washing technique as I realized that I was learning something new too. The human brain is so incredible--absolutely incredible!!!
I followed David, Silas, and Jacylyn until they turned off to go to their Lincoln home. The weather was so warm and lovely that I opened my window at the red light as I found myself parked beside them. We all laughed in the Spring evening that marked the beginning of another Sabbath rest. Finally the light turned Green and, as David started turning, I shouted, "GOD BLESS YOU!" His grin was huge as he headed home to his awesome family to begin their Sabbath rest together.
I still had to get to Sam's club for supplies. Would you call this a miracle? As I came out and went to my car, who do you suppose had their car parked back to back with mine? Yes, the family of 4 from Willistin. We all laughed and headed our separate ways but I became more and more aware that the world truly is filled with friends just waiting to be made! Let's go and make them, folks!
Here's to the brotherhood of Christ which spans the entire globe. Here's a hug to all within it, and to those without it, I say, "Come on in". There's room at the table for you!
Have a great week everybody!

Frannie's prophecy
Do you know what I just realized? Frannie's prophecy DID come true! Or rather, it started coming true yesterday in my office. Let me explain.
On New Year's Eve 2006, which was the year that my illness began, we were invited over to our neighbor's home to bring in the new year with fellow believers. At one point, Frannie (now deceased) revealed to me that she had just heard an evangalist speak at a church in Bismarck. She shared that he had shared with those present that God had revealed to him that He was beginning a new healing work on the planet.
This man of God had been inspired to say, "Within 5 years, many people from all over the country will start coming to North Dakota and the people of God will have a great opportunity to wittness to them and to begin healing them."
I remember getting excited at these words as I could sense their significance. Frannie sat quietly for a few moments and then looked at me wide-eyed and said, "God just said to tell you that you and I will be a part of it." How I got tingles then. Frannie and I gazed at each other, both sensing the presence of God near to us and we prayed together then that the Lord would use us to accomplish His purposes for the lost and hurting world all around us.
During my long illness, I thought of that special hour many times. I'd use Frannie's prophecy to pull me through the days that I just wanted to lay down and die. I'd remind myself, "God told Frannie that we'd be a part of helping to heal not only North Dakota but those who came to it." This thought would help me to keep fighting for my life and later, to keep doing the BodyTalk sessions which eventually healed me.
When Frannie died less than a year later, I thought of that moment. I was sad that she didn't get to be a part of the healing work that God had told her about--a work which was to begin 5 years later. Later, as I used her prophecy to pull me through the dark days of shingles on my brain, I realized that God HAD indeed included her in the work. Like He revealed things to the prophets in the Bible, who never got to see them fullfilled on Earth, so had He used Frannie to tell me of things to come.
Everyone knows that many people have come to North Dakota in the past few years as a result of the oil boom in the Western part of our huge state. Many people are aware of the difficulties to the small communities from such a large influx of folks. Many families are split up as the men come for work and leave their families behind. Many folks are finding that easy money has it's price tag too.
Indeed, the church DOES have a huge opportunitiy to help in the difficulties which have developed as a result. I'm including the video which I received this morning to make my point. While some folks look at the joys of an increased state treasury, the reality is that all of this has damaged the small towns that once were quiet, peaceful abodes.
Now, about my part of the prophecy come true. While I haven't worked with anyone involved in the booming oil industry, I have become involved in the Ron Paul campaign because I can't imagine a better President than Dr. Paul who is a staunch Constitutionalist.
Anyway, politics draws people to an area too so yesterday I was priviliaged to work with 2 people from Virginia. Now, who would have thought 5 years ago, as I sat with Frannie on her farm near Kintyre, that in 5 years time I would be able to help improve the health of people from Virginia? or Minnesota? or Georgia? or Nebraska? or Arizona? or perhaps YOUR state?
GOD KNOWS THE FUTURE AND HE DOES REVEAL IT AT TIMES TO HIS PEOPLE!!! If you doubt this, then dig out your Bible and start reading. He keeps His word and you can bank on that!

OK--I give
I can recall my mother snidely asking me about 10 years ago, "How many diets are you going to try?"
I smugly answered, "As many as it takes until I find the one that works!"
Anyone who has read here for any length of time knows how I struggle with getting off this excess weight. Between miscarriages, cancer, and the lenghthy illness with shingles on my brain, I have been forced to be sedentary much of the time this past decade. One still must eat to keep living--that IS the idea you know.
Then, when eating was one of the few things that I did as a child that pleased my mother, I ate to comfort myself as she taught me to do. I know that there are probably people reading this who will snoot me off and say, "Excuses, excuses. All you have to do is eat less and you will lose weight."
Well, I've tried that too. I've fasted and cleansed and lost weight and put it back on again. Every natural thing that I could find, I tried and still there was something that kept me fat. Now, thanks to my dear friend, Sarah, I just may have discovered what that something is.
I called Sarah earlier this week to see if she'd like Cora's help with the children/housework for a few days. Would she! Well, I love talking to Sarah as she is an avid reader who is always searching for the answers to her health challenges just like I do. This time she had some VERY good news to share.
"What's new, Sarah?" I asked.
"Well, I lost 50 pounds since the baby was born," she replied!
Then she had my full attention. Sarah proceeded to tell me about a supplement that supplies the body with iodine for those who are suffering from hypothyroidism. Now, I was tested for that I don't know how many times but, as I learned at the following website, doctor's tests are far from precise enough to detect this problem.
Sarah explained that we live in the goiter belt of the nation. This means that we aren't near enough to the coast to benefit from sea breezes that supply iodine from the salt in the sea water. Goiter is the extreme lack of iodine but many people have health challenges much sooner than the goiter stage.
As Sarah talked about sea breezes wafting in the iodine rich air, I recalled feeling absolutely fantastic when I was breathing the air out in CA last Fall. I told Sarah that the day after our flight, when I thought I'd be recouping from jet lag, we walked 8 miles. I felt so strong in that air that I didn't want to leave the shoreline of the San Francisco Bay. Could it be it was the iodine in the air that was making me so strong?
To summarize, so that I can prepare for Sabbath here, I did order the product that she took which is called, 'Iodoral" and it came quickly. I started taking it 2 days ago and am waiting to feel the affects. I'm assuming that I'm VERY depleted as I haven't felt any difference yet.
You can read about Iodoral at this website:iHerb.com. I decided to stick with this product as it is the one that Sarah lost 50 pounds in 4 months with. However, I was also led to read on this website:
http://www.1-thyroid.com/lowthyroid.htm In fact, I was so encouraged by what I read here that perhaps I truly have found the underlying physical answer (not the emotional ones that I've been working on with BT) to my weight issues. I took their test to see if hypothyroidism is my problem. Goodness, if you score over 70 it's a BIG problem and I had a 137.
I urge everyone to go to the link above and scroll half way down the page. There's a section called, "Am I thyroid deficient?" Click on, "Online analysis," then on, "Low thyroid symptoms." Check off every symptom that you're experiencing and the computer will tally it for you.
So there I spilled the beans. I wasn't going to until I could show you a nice AFTER picture of my new slim body. However, the reason that I have this blog is to share the things I learn so that you can get started ASAP too. Perhaps you will get nice and thin right along with me? WOULDN'T THAT BE WONDERFUL???????????????????
Blessings to all you who keep turning to nature (God) for the answers. Keep searching for them! It may take awhile to find the key to the your particular lock but we read in Scripture, "Ask and it shall be given you; seek and ye shall find; knock, and the door shall be opened unto you." Mathew 7:7
God has a unique healing journey for each one of us. I get to witness this every day and it is so fascinating! I just love it! God is trying to teach us things each time we have a health challenge. He is trying to draw us closer to Him through our difficulties of all types. All He wants is to have a relationship with us. CAN YOU IMAGINE THIS? God, who made Heaven and Earth wants to be YOUR friend!!! Is it time for YOU to open the door of your heart and let Him come in and be your best friend ever? He is waiting for you to let Him into your life. Why keep God waiting a second longer??????????????????
Come to the Lord all who are weary and heavy laden and HE will give you rest.
Blessed Sabbath rest to all God's children,
Dawn
PS. I decided to include the questionnaire here for those of who need a little push to take the online test. There's no charge, and it could change your life, so I urge you to go for it! Just a reminder, taking the "Test" here will not get you any feedback from the company. Use the link above for this.
PPS. Did I ever mention that my hair is falling out a lot this past year? How I pray that this is the missing link in my health care regimen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MC 5--Day 4/Amended version
Day 4 was FULL of excitement. First of all, we're trying to decide which radionics machine to purchase for Robert to use in the upcoming class--and thereafter. I got no less than 4 emails from Ed at KRT so that was a thrill!
If ever I had a loving brother, it would be somebody like Ed. He is so understanding, and supportive, and encouraging--surely this is the role that a real live brother would play in his sister's life in a loving family! PRAISE THE LORD--HE FOUND A WAY TO GIVE ME BROTHERS THROUGH HIS NETWORK OF AWESOME PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Then, the day went well as far as hunger pangs went. I was happy to note that the worst is behind me as those first 3 days can be kind of grueling when you watch your family sitting here eating. Yesterday and this morning, though, I found myself thinking, "I'm on a roll now and I KNOW that I WILL live without food for another week!" In fact, I wondered yesterday if I am meant to go all the way through the home school convention and into the next week. I certainly am willing to do whatever is meant for me to do. Perhaps the home school convention is needing fasting, along with prayer, this year for some reason.
There was a box that came for me from Mercola.com too. All right, it's confession time. I have been doing something a little bit different this time around. I fell in love with Dr. Mercola's whey protein powder. He had a great deal on if you bought 6 containers of this delicacy, so I did.
Truly, there were times on the first 4 cleanses (three 15 day ones and one 10 day one) when I was literally weak. At those times, I'd allow my body the rest that it needed as it cleans out deeply junk that has built up in me over the past 5 decades.
The trouble now is that I have a business where people depend on me to help them to get well. I can't just lie around detoxifying and say, "Sorry that I can't help you for half a month but I'm doing the Master Cleanse, you see."
So, leave it to the Lord, He sent me Dr. Mercola's whey protein powder. Yes, I am adding that to this master cleanse whenever I feel weak. Within minutes I'm ready to go back to work and my brain just loves the stuff.
Part of me feels like this isn't, "Perfect" because it's not sticking to the lemonade and herbal teas only. However, I have made my peace over it and I understand that the perfect one, my loving Heavenly Father, knows exactly what I need to do every day. Now that I'm resolved to this, I am loving THIS cleanse like none before it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now for the most exciting part of our day yesterday. We got an email from Gail B., who is with our home school association, stating that the House of Representatives was going to vote on the home school bill TODAY. She said, "PLEASE write to your representatives and ask them to support the bill IMMEDIATELY--so we did.
It was so funny to hear Cora in on her laptop typing away and Andrew in his bedroom typing away as I frantically typed out here in the dining room asking our Representatives to, "VOTE YES". After that, we rushed through lunch (for me that meant lemonade) and listened to the House meeting in the boy's room. I'll never know how Andrew figures out how to go to all of these places, but it sure is interesting living with him. At first we were watching it but it couldn't bring it in that fast so we just listened.
As we sat on the edge of our seats, we heard the call for the vote and I prayed madly as this was a VERY important vote. When the announcement came that they voted "YES" by a large majority, we were all grinning from ear to ear. There is just something about being a part of the political process that is so fulfilling--especially when we win!
Of course, the battle is only half over as we'll need to go through all of the this again when our bill gets to the Senate side. However, if the House had voted, "No" that would be the end of things. We'd go back to the dark ages of home schooling in North Dakota.
Well, we're loading calves to sell tomorrow in Napoleon so I've got to get going. Please keep us in your prayers--today for safety loading and hauling them and tomorrow for as good a price as possible. I won't be able to attend the sale this time as I'll be seeing people in my Bismarck office--6 tomorrow. OH HOW I LOVE BEING BUSY DOING THE WORK OF THE KING!!!
Later,
Dawn

As we sat on the edge of our seats, we heard the call for the vote and I prayed madly as this was a VERY important vote. When the announcement came that they voted "YES" by a large majority, we were all grinning from ear to ear. There is just something about being a part of the political process that is so fulfilling--especially when we win!
Of course, the battle is only half over as we'll need to go through all of the this again when our bill gets to the Senate side. However, if the House had voted, "No" that would be the end of things. We'd go back to the dark ages of home schooling in North Dakota.
Well, we're loading calves to sell tomorrow in Napoleon so I've got to get going. Please keep us in your prayers--today for safety loading and hauling them and tomorrow for as good a price as possible. I won't be able to attend the sale this time as I'll be seeing people in my Bismarck office--6 tomorrow. OH HOW I LOVE BEING BUSY DOING THE WORK OF THE KING!!!
Later,
Dawn
