Instagram post 2198445873519051648_3031570645 What an incredible joy it was for me to meet @susielarsonauthor at the @calvarysisterhood event tonight. .
In order to pour out I fill up with God’s Word and through those who passionately share God’s Word and the love of Christ, Susie Larson is one of those people.
.
There were a few quotes  from tonight that I knew I had to share: .
“If we misinterpret what we’re going through we’ll get offended by God!” and “ask God to do the impossible in and through you!”
.
The trials and suffering you’re going through right now or have gone through in the past don’t have to be wasted and should never define you. .
At the same time, don’t get offended by God, He loves you so dearly and He promises to use pain and suffering for good to those who love Him and are called according to His purpose.(Romans 8:28)
.
One day God may want to use your story!
.
Thank you Calvary Sisterhood for hosting such an encouraging evening and being so welcoming. ❤️❤️
Instagram post 2195975197407235682_3031570645 I just found $5,000 worth of Babesia medication in the back of my pantry. 5k worth of medication that I had to fight to get and get didn’t help us even though we took it for an extended period of time. I’m not talking weeks here but almost a year!
.
There’s no telling how much damage this did to our bodies. Maybe it beat down the parasites some but not fully. .
These three bottles represent a time in our lives that was the most difficult and painful time. .
I was always searching for a cure, for the best medicine or supplement and for the best doctors. It was exhausting.
.
I totally get it if you’re in that place right now. .
Healing the body requires giving it what it needs to support it, to build up the immune system, and to nourish your cells.
.
If you’re not listening to the Mitochondria Summit, DM me for the link! It’s all about healing at a cellular level. No more dangerous, costly drugs!

Instagram post 2195930876223504280_3031570645 Ever feel like you just don’t want to cooperate with what’s going on in your life. Like- chronic pain and fatigue. “Nope, I don’t want it, let’s just move on shall we?” Or busyness when you just need to sleep! “Nope, I’m going to bed, everything else can wait!”
.
I tried to get one Christmas picture from this little girl and she was just not having it, so this is the best we could do, even with a bacon treat!
.
It’s ok if you’re not up to participating fully for the holidays but unlike this sweet little puppy, you can muster up a smile for your family, a praise to Jesus to whom this holiday season is truly for, and give yourself a whole lot of grace for yourself because after all, sometimes things are out of your control..... BUT... they’re never out of God’s control!

Instagram post 2194534003338748798_3031570645 Psst, want to know the secret to finding joy this season? No matter your circumstances, no matter your feelings you can experience joy by practicing gratitude for what you have and for all the people in your life, including the difficult relationships! .
Joy is a fruit of the Spirit. You don’t have to pretend or work hard to have it.
.
Look at Jesus and not your circumstances! It’s harder said than done but it’s so worth it. I’m still practicing, especially when it comes to lowering my expectations and finding joy in the messy, difficult days of life.
.
May you too find joy this Christmas season and all the year long.

Instagram post 2190913054043275837_3031570645 I’m creating a podcast and want to talk about what you want to hear! .
Let me know in the comments sections what topics you’d like for me to discuss! .

Instagram post 2187927586968391672_3031570645 This Keto Pumpkin pie from @elanaspantry was such a hit for my daughter who has Crohn’s. She was eating it for breakfast & why not? It’s super healthy! I’m not a fan of pumpkin pie but I tried it and loved it! #nutfreecrust #sogood #ketopumpkinpie #elanaspantryrecipes #deliciousfood #glutenfree #healthyholidays
Instagram post 2187150173451730475_3031570645 No matter how you’re feeling today, take some time to look around, look into the eyes of your loved ones, spend time communicating with them and let them know how thankful you are for them, even if your relationships are not what you’d like them to be.
.
I pray you have time to think about the goodness of God and that He meets you wherever you are and shows you how much He deeply loves you! 🦃 🍽 🥧 🥘 ❤️ Happy • Blessed • Thanksgiving!
Instagram post 2184972334937838716_3031570645 Give thanks to the Lord for HE is good! Psalm 107:1
.
Are you focused on your pain or circumstances today? Take some time and sit at the feet of the Lord. Reflect on His goodness, His character, and His perfect plan. .
Fix your eyes on Jesus- the author and finisher of your faith, in order to be victorious in whatever battle you’re going through right now!
🍁 Give thanks to the Lord for he is good! #Mondaythoughts #givethanks #faithblogger #lymeblogger #faithandhealing  #justathought
