Tasting Life Abundant

"The LORD has done great things for us; and we are glad." (Psalm 126:3)  -->Music I'm listening to<--   Today is an exciting day for me. I am currently doing the avoidance phase for my last 'Top 15' NAET  treatment!  I have been waiting and waiting to finally get to this one, the hormone treatment.  Ah, hormones....they can be your very best friend or your worst nightmare. And I've had my share of the nightmare side these past four years.  But I am feeling so good after today's treatment. During the acupuncture part, "This is what we've been waiting for!," kept going through my mind. I just feel so relieved and happy, and so ready to put this behind me. I feel strong today. "Those who sow in tears Shall reap in joy. He who continually goes forth weeping, Bearing seed for sowing, Shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, Bringing his sheaves with him ." (Psalm 126:5-6)  Before doing the actual hormone treatment,

This morning's breakfast-Smoothie, peppermint tea, and cashew butter. I've been experimenting a little with my smoothie lately. This one turned out good; smooth and creamy thanks to the avocado. Smoothie ingredients: 1 orange carrot, 1 stalk celery, 1/2 green apple, big handful baby spinach, 1 cup frozen wild blueberries, juice of 1 small lime, 1 small avocado, knob of ginger, about 2 tsp of fruit anthocyanins, ice, water, and then a dash of cinnamon stirred in after. basically, I like the ginger and cinnamon because they distract me from the fruit taste :) and the avocado really helped with the texture. (I was thinking I should be adding Great Lakes unflavored gelatin to all my smoothies as well, but forgot with this one.) This is Raw  Cow Milk. I was "muscle tested" and it should be ok for me to drink..... I grew up drinking raw milk on my parent's dairy farm. Loved it. But after all the health issues over the last few years, and drinking nut "mil

 Going into last week's appointment with Alicia,(my NAET practitioner), I had a few issues that were bothering me, mainly emotional; I have been feeling conflicted about some decisions I need to make.  At every appointment, Alicia checks to see what is the highest priority for me, treatment-wise, and then we go from there. Last week, NAET, BARS, and a treatment that she offers, called Reconnective Healing, came up. I decided to go with the Reconnective Healing.  Alicia had given me a pamphlet about it awhile ago, so I knew a little about how it would work.  You can Google it if you want to learn more...it's probably one of the more controversial or "out there" treatments I've done....ok, it definitely is, but that's ok. I was open to the experience, and it did do something for me.  I don't know all the details of exactly how this treatment works, but I don't always feel like I need to know for something to work. I used to be a Googler of Everyt

The last few days have been pretty crazy. I have also seen God clearly working in all the craziness....His timing is astounding, really. I've had some anxiety issues in the past, and a few weeks ago they kind of flared up again. It surprised me because it's been quite awhile since I actually felt anxious (paranoid even?) about things, and I don't really know why it happened...sometimes NAET/NET can do that for me. Maybe the holiday season parties and stress? I don't know. But it wasn't fun. And I was discouraged too because I really thought I was "over that", ya know? I had counseling a couple years ago, back when we were in the middle of my postpartum hyper-thyroiditis struggle, and between the counseling and really learning to just give things to God and trust Him more, and let go of my plan for my life, I was able to release the anxiety and find freedom. So, I was having all these flashbacks and worrying about going backwards and really trying not to
