Morning Devotions//Strength For The Day




"...Faith looks back upon the past, for her battles have strengthened her, and her victories have given her courage. She remembers that God has never failed her, that He never once failed any of His children. She recalls times of great peril when deliverance came, hours of awful need when as her day her strength was found and she cries,'No I never will be led to think that He can change and leave His servant now. Thus far the Lord has helped me, and He will help me still.' Thus faith views each promise in its connection with the promise giver and, because she does so, can with assurance say, 'Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life!'"
[Spurgeon&Beggs Morning and Evening Devotional]


"Oh, bless our God, you peoples! And make the voice of His praise to be heard, Who keeps our soul among the living and does not allow our feet to be moved. For You, O God, have tested us; You have refined us as silver is refined. You brought us into the net; You laid affliction on our backs. You have caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water; but You brought us out to rich fulfillment."
(Psalm 66:8-12)

How good God is to us; to give us His Word so we can know Him, so we can read His promises and be strengthened and soothed. So that we can rest in Him. In Jesus there is only love and grace and peace and mercy. Our Saviour completely absorbed the wrath of God in our place; there is not one bit of God's wrath left against sin that we have to take on ourselves! And so we can go forward with the assurance that "God is for us", and "through God we shall do valiantly."

Thank you, Lord, for the amazing gift of salvation and peace. Thank you for loving us with an eternal love, and for promising that you will never abandon those who put their trust in You. You are worthy of all our love and praise and worship. Help us to go forward in Your strength and a firm resolution to trust in You, no matter what this day brings. When we lose our focus, turn our eyes and hearts back to You. You have promised that, for those who obey your commands, our peace willl be like a river, ever-flowing and deep. Teach us to pursue You above all. Complete the good work you have begun in us.  In the name of Jesus we pray these things and ask that you would hear us for His sake. Amen.

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
