Trusting

This devotional message I read today really spoke to me. I wholeheartedly agree that God sometimes takes things away from us, even good things, to bring something better into our lives.
I am grateful to be able to see His hand in my life, working out The Plan He has for me.
Sometimes now too, I remember how close I have felt to God during the hardest times, and I can see how I have drifted, even if it is only slightly, from focusing on serving Him and surrendering to Him, and I begin to crave that feeling of really being near to God. The closer you get to God, the closer you want to be. 
I have been struggling a little lately....but now I have learned that while the struggle is not fun or easy, the results will be valuable and useful and helpful to me in my walk with God.
Learning to welcome setbacks and pain and heartache is not something that most people probably think about, but I think that being aware of them, and allowing ourselves to feel the emotions that go with our struggles and really trying to surrender to the idea that somehow, this can be good for you, is something that we would all benefit from.
The Bible tells us "All things work together for good, to those who love God and are called according to His purpose."
(Romans 8:28) 
"If God is for us, who can be against us?" (Romans 8:31)
Actually, all of Romans 8 is really uplifting if you feel that you are really trying to do what is right and stay hopeful through a hard time, and yet you feel like there are so many things against you, including yourself....
"You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is fixed on You, because he trusts in You." (Isaiah 26:3)
Trust in God to keep you and uphold you....let His peace take over you, surrender to Him and let go of your agenda and what you think is best, and just lean into Him and see how He will hold you close, and calm your fears and give you renewed strength.
Don't give up you faith and your hope, but do give up your life to Him. He made you, He loves you, He is your safe place and your friend.
Psalm 61:
Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.
2 From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
3 For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.
4 I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings.

This Is Going Well // DNRS review

{This is going W E L L}  Brian gave me this mug for Christmas, and it's my favorite.❤  All the work I've been doing to retrain my brain and heal my body has been going very well, and I am so excited and optimistic about the future!  I mentioned previously that I would be starting the Dynamic Neural Retraining System, (DNRS), which works with neuroplasticity based techniques to heal an impaired limbic system, which is essentially a brain injury that results from trauma and causes your brain to process and store information as if you are in a constant state of "fight or flight", or emergency response.  Trauma is relative to every individual, and there are different types of trauma; obvious things like death, war, victim of a crime, major accidents, and those sort of things are Traumas with a capital 'T'. Things like illness, chronic stress, unstable family life, negative relationships, and many others, are  traumas with a little 't'; on

Transformation // Hair Analysis #2

I haven't posted in over a year.  I have six drafts that I started writing and never posted because I just couldn't decide what to say, with all the current world events and how I was feeling emotionally and mentally, (kind of all over the place), so....it has been quite awhile since I updated on where I'm at in my health journey. When I last posted here, I talked about DNRS and what a difference it was making for me. I am very happy to say that, even with the world being turned upside down, I was still able to keep that new level of health I had reached, and I am now doing better than ever. That's not to say there haven't been a lot of ups and downs, and some really low lows, but I really believe that I healed my root cause issues. 2 years ago, I was working on treating anxiety, SIBO, low stomach acid, HPA axis dysfunction a.k.a. adrenal fatigue (the most severe my doctor had seen on paper), other hormonal issues, and more, all at the same time; it was challenging

Updated Supplement Protocol

This is my current protocol of supplements we are using to support my body in healing my gut, hormones, and overall health. I am posting this partly to document my progress, and also to share what is working for me,  and to maybe give people ideas to ask their doctor about. Do not just start taking any supplement without working with a trained practitioner. There are too many personal and varying factors to navigate the world of supplements and vitamins alone. Do yourself a favor and get professional, knowledgeable help to give you the best chance at complete recovery and fastest results. I saw my Naturopath last week, and we went over my symptoms and adjusted my supplements and added in a couple new things. This protein shake is one of the new additions to my treatment plan. OptiCleanse GHI is a protein powder supplement that we are using to support healing my gut, specifically leaky gut, and also support liver detox. It tastes quite good actually, which I was ver
