Love Hurts Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 http://server.firefighters.org/kjv/projects/firefighters/kjv_web/html/sermons.htm I have a few cool cds by Firefighters for Christ. Most of them are funny tells of life and trials through their individual faith walk... Its a mix a comedie and spiritual uplifting... One of my favs is by Bob Vernon .. "He shal direct your Paths" I was searching for these humorous spiritually uplifting links online that you could listen through the net.... well I cant find them as of yet... I did come up with a list of sermons on certain topics we might feel the need of hearing.... These appear low key...I scanned through some of the sermons... you have to seek your minister... as we know... some ministers make us want to sleep. ....Yawn!!!!!!! Search for one that works for you... if any at all here. God Bless* Link to post Share on other sites

Author pureinheart Posted February 16, 2007 Author Share Posted February 16, 2007 OMG Love Hurts....Bob Vernon....I think he is the one I used to listen to about 20 yrs ago, will have to check my cassette tapes...will check all of the wonderful sites/stories.... Your daughter???? Oh no, she is so young!!!! My daughter is the same way too, she has a lot of physical problems....has already had her gall bladder removed, she's 22. This devil has GOT to die in the name of Jesus...GET YOUR HANDS OFF OUR CHILDREN.....THEY SHALL LIVE AND NOT DIE TO DECLARE THE WORKS OF THE LORD... That devil just makes me mad.... I am much like your daughter, also my daughter is the same....bubbly, happy no matter what....the devil hates joy....so that makes me even more joyful.... I'm praying right now for all of us...too much to type...lol....rise up your intercessors Lord on our behalf....I asked one person that I've been writing back and forth in email (not sure how she got my addy....God mostlikely) for prayer and got over 30 emails the other night containing prayer....wow, was overwhelmed....I will put your daughter on every prayer chain I can think of when I get some time to be online, and in the meantime will pray without ceasing Well, if your daughter has been feeling lousy, she knows why now....I do too, we have answers....hers can be fixed with diet and herbs....mine is a different story.... We will be healed, it will take some time, and some work on our part...a change of mind, attitude and diet.... Love Hurts, for me, have had a self hatred, have subconsciously felt the need to punish myself for wrong doing, your daughter may identify with this, it is why we internalize things and worry....the happiest, joyful people can be the most saddest on the inside....most everybody loves and accepts us, but we do not accept ourselves for some reason....perfections, never quite feeling good enough.... The 1% of the people that hate us, hate us because we are happy....and for some strange reason we hear their curses louder, their curses become our truth.....BUT NO MORE....it's called people pleasing, I've been coming out of that for sometime now and am learning how to tune that out...callused for the good.... We shall accept and see ourselves the way God does....we shall accept THE WAY THINGS ARE and pray for change, if change comes fine, if it doesn't we will be okay because we HAVE THE LORD GOD OF ALL CREATION ON OUR SIDE....we shall not fight against the truth any longer, we shall give our fight to the Lord. We shall remain in hope that God will heal the damage we have done to our physical bodies, and we confess that as sin....we move all anxiety and stress....the damage that others have done to us shall be tossed as far as the east is to the west.... We shall be open to the prompting of God to show us better ways, that He will reveal the things we need to do, we shall be so in tune with these things , that this is what will heal us....we shall take note of subtle things we do, such as various vitamins and notice our physical reaction and find the perfect remedy.... We continually hope for wholeness in Him, which in turn causes wholeness in all things....we are healed in Jesus name..... I love you too Love Hurts, and I love your daughter, I sense that she is much like my own, I will pray for us without ceasing....you tow are very dear to my hearts....along with the rest of your precious children....God will do something in our day, that if He were to tell us we would not believe it!!!!!!!

Love Hurts Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Pureinheart I have put you and my daughter on the same page through assumption. I should not have assumed to have known. Now I see more clearly your many differences. All and all we know that He knows all…and there is nothing He does not see… Amen. I am so thankful for your prayer chain and that many prayers have come to you on your behalf. Oh please do add my daughter to as many prayer chains as you possible can… I so appreciate on her behalf, as I keep you in Prayer I too will also remember your daughter in prayer. (also please do not leave me out of your prayers Pureinheart… I need prayers too...Amen) The Power of Prayer is amazing… my daughter had read a story from Chicken soup for the Christian soul. (Page…247) Prayer is Key. Read this short story; She told me of a Medic Missionary in Africa, his first trip there he came across a man with a knife wound to the leg. The missionary immediately administered first aid to the wounded man and also witnessed to him. Weeks later the missionary returned to that same village in Africa., where he saw the same man he had helped and witnessed to; the man that had been wound told him events of that same eve of the day the missionary had administered first aid and witnessed to him. He went on to say that same eve he sought out the tent site the missionary was sleeping in. He admitted that he had brought 7 others along with him to the missionaries tent with intent to kill the missionary; to take his medical drugs and his money. --He said there were 26-Armed men surrounding the tent. They were of great stature. The man said where did those men come from? We never saw men of such great size and height? --The missionary professed he was asleep in his tent that night alone and that he had brought no one with him to protect him. --Back at home in his church he told of the story as he witnessed to the congregation of his experience as a man from the church congregation stood and proclaimed the Lord had spoken to him and he was urged to pray over him. He was driven in the spirit to collect members of the church and pray in prayer circle for the missionary. --The man called out to the congregation will those men from our prayer circle please stand. They all stood up and a head count was taken… in total there were 26 prayer warriors … praying over the Medical Missionary. It also turned out through calculating events they discovered they were praying over the missionary; at the same time the would be killers did arrive at the missionaries tent. Amazing Power of Prayer! … As we unite our voices calling out to the Lord…Amen God is moving even though we may not see… still He is and He just lines it up in our favor. Faith is the key that opens the doors we need pass through… As long as Hope and Faith are alive… we have joy for our tomorrows. ‘Father in Jesus name thank you so very much for the things you have already done in our behalf...those things we can not yet see and yet still they are. We claim those blessings over Pureinheart, her daughter and my own, for any in the Lord that seek a blessing and read this claiming as their own and lastly for myself. One day a time Lord oh for faith to trust you more. Lord we pray you bind the enemies from taunting us from abusing us, from hindering us… set us free Lord in every aspect of our walk, free from the grips of the enemy we pray in thy Holy Precious name.’ Lets not look back… let look ahead… the future is so much brighter* Oh the Blessings …that are… in our path… Praise Jesus! Keep the Faith through the storm Pureinheart! God is Good…Amen God Bless* Link to post Share on other sites
Author pureinheart Posted February 18, 2007 Author Share Posted February 18, 2007 Hey Love Hurts.....the power of prayer....yesterday my God mother and myself killed the devil. I knew some people were speaking death over my life, all kinds of curses, could feel it....so we interceded like crazy....and guess what....the Lord is causing my thyroid to shrink, it's still overactive priddy bad, but He caused it to shrink. You know Love Hurts, my God mother and me used to tare it up in prayer....prayed hours upon hours everyday for many years....the miracles were incredible....let's just say it's been quite some time since I've seen any miracles....mainly just God taking care of me at the bare minimum....thought God had deserted me....anyway this is a big thing to me....means that mess is broken....I left myself wide open for enemy attack, but that is OVER! Now for the good stuff, it's time and it will come....I know it Love hurts....your daughter will be healed in more ways that she could imagine....our loved ones are healed, we are healed....this is the year!

I knew some people were speaking death over my life, all kinds of curses, could feel it....so we interceded like crazy....and guess what....the Lord is causing my thyroid to shrink, it's still overactive priddy bad, but He caused it to shrink.

Now for the good stuff, it's time and it will come....I know it Love hurts....your daughter will be healed in more ways that she could imagine....our loved ones are healed, we are healed....this is the year! Oh God do I love to read your spirit is strong… Praise Jesus! I love how you killed the enemy… through prayer… Praise Jesus! We have to kill him he is trying to kill us. Curses are real, those that practice in darkness send out curses through demons. Like Job we can be afflicted. It takes constant prayer by many to break it. Or one can suffer for years under it. Praise Jesus you have discovered the avenue of your sufferings. A man that practiced in darkness did cast spells and was clairvoyant … Had a curse over my head for a long time… Praise Jesus the Lord set me free from that and restored me. It took many praying for me and with me. We also had a house cleansing. You need to cleanse your home of evil spirits that can be sent in. Or those that follow the unsaved in and choose not to leave with their host. You need many members to pray and go through each room praying and casting out Satan in Jesus name. We did it here and the house just felt spiritually lighter. We even had a cold spot in the hall way disappear now its even temperature…Praise Jesus! The Power of Prayer is amazing. That’s how we do battle … what is the verse Pureinheart… I can never find… ‘One in prayer can send 100 demons to flee and three in prayer cans send 1000 ‘…? Something in that line… if you know the verse im trying to put together help me out… It just reaffirms it how we get things done. ‘Father in Jesus name we thank you for the good things you have done on our behalf. We thank you for the privy to bring our cares and burdens to you. Impressed upon, suppressed and depressed by the evil, you have set us free from and bound our enemy from us… Lord we claim the Victory over our attackers in the spirit realm … We command in your Holy Precious name Jesus that any curse sent upon Pureinhert, her daughter , my daughter and all of my children as well as myself…That any and all curses sent upon these heads listed… be sent back to sender ten- fold. We claim that in Jesus precious name …. Amen and Amen… Lord we pray protection of Angels be on guard in our behalf daily. That our prayer line to you; be open… and free from demonic interception or hindrance. That we are strengthened in our Spirit, renewed and that your goodness and blessings flow to us in good measure without ceasing. We claim: freedom from bondages, physical healing, joy, peace that surpasses all understanding; happiness, financial relief, and the blessings of God our enemy bound from us in every aspect our lives…. Praise you Jesus for the gift of the power of our prayers to you. We trust in you in all things Lord… Thank You Jesus…Amen!’ God is so good….yes Pureinheart now its onward in the Lord… With God before us … whom can be against us…Praise Jesus. There is Victory in the Lord... God Bless* Link to post Share on other sites

Author pureinheart Posted February 20, 2007 Author Share Posted February 20, 2007 Praise God for you Love Hurts....may no good thing be held back from you!!!!!! Today was so much better, and I am experimenting on myself....there has to be food, vitamins and herbs to help alleviate and cure hyperthyroidism....I mean what causes the thyroid to all of a sudden produce too much of the TSH hormone. In my case there was a goiter present (it still might be there, but has shrunk), goiters are more common with hypothyroidism....oh well God will figure this out, but for 3 days have been taking Estroven and Valerian Root and that seems to be helping....trying different combinations.... Some of this may not be right as my communication skills are lacking tonight and have read so much on this lately that all is running together....who knows God may use this for those like me who prefer vitamins and herbs vs prescriptions....God please help us find a natural cure.....wow wouldn't that be cool!

Love Hurts Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Pureinheart, “I pray in Jesus precious name your health is well and that all is well with you and yours.” Spiritual warfare is for our increase in the Lord. For every battle the Lord pulls us through some greater purpose in Jesus is our win. We grow and learn and shall ever more grow in the Lord. None of us will ever in all eternity reach the place of enough in the Lord. Praise Jesus we will grow in the Lord for all eternity. What a joy! I enjoy listening to the testimonies of those that have been privy of a glimpse of Heaven and tell us their experience. There are various ones to enjoy on this link. I seem to reflect on them as we set our sites above. http://www.spiritlessons.com/ Love your way. God Bless* Link to post Share on other sites
Author pureinheart Posted March 16, 2007 Author Share Posted March 16, 2007 Hey Love Hurts....thanks for the link....I have missed you!!!!! These last few weeks have been nothing less than a mind game. For a few months noticing that I wasn't "me" anymore....thought it was due to the stress of a new job and different shift....now know it was, and then some. For years I have been experiencing this, during times of great stress "depression" would set in coupled with an overall ill feeling....this time I thought I was dying, thought God was taking me home. Quite the contrary, He is healing me. After an uptake scan, they diagnosed me with Graves disease....enlarged thyroid w/ hyperthyroid....it is horrible...pulse sometimes over 130....racing heart....major pain everywhere...and much more.... They put me on a real low dose of an antithyroid drug, but only can take half....did a bunch of research and can do most of it natural, and it it working...I have the disease, BUT it doesnot have me! There are a million praise reports to tell you....you would be surprized what too much thyroid hormone can do: my eyes are going back to normal, the puffiness, redness, and yellow tint are almost gone....severe body pain is almost gone....don't have to eat constantly....no more racing heart....slowing down, not as nervous....quit taking Tylenol w/codeine (had taken it for 5 yrs straight)....quit drinking artificial sweeteners (drank them daily)....skin doesnot look "old" anymore....beginning to feel like a normal person again, am not weak anymore....and much much more.... God did all of these things, not me, I did nothing....I almost killed me, but God saved me.... Am learning much through this and will never be the same....life is taken for granted, until we almost loose it....not many can understand this, as many think they do not take life for granted, but do. I am nothing without God and His people....oh and another major praise report....an old friend of mine (our kids hang out together, and I used to live down the street from him)....well we had talked several times through out the years, but haven't talked in a really long time....my daughter and me stopped by his house and ever since then he has been calling me....we work at the same company and he is trying to get me in his area....I can't believe this....he has given my resume to everyone....he's really doing it....it would mean a lot more money....wow, just can't believe how God moves!!!!!! Hey also got an interveiw in my field, everyone wants to work for this company....but turned it down because I am afraid to make any major changes right now....God WILL take care of everything..... I love you Love Hurts....you have been such an inspiration....and your prayers have been answered....for both of us!!!!!! Link to post Share on other sites

I didn’t know what happened; in your absence I have wondered what is happening what are you going through? This is amazing; what a gift. The Blessings of God are upon you…. You sound as you have much to be thankful for and so do we for you and with you as its good to hear of God moving and working all things together; for the good of His people; His miracles are a divine gift. God is so good Pureinheart as He has heard and answered our prayers. Praise Jesus! I know I speak for others as well; as I say …looking forward to hearing more from you. You were taken to the third Heaven listening the [man ]that died for 90 min… its been a while I think it was [bishop Earthquake Kelly].. I also enjoyed going there with Choo Thomas what beautiful picture they together have painted for us. We do have much to look forward to in the Lord regardless of where we are. Amen Looking forward to reading your inspirational prophetic words through the Lord, as the Holy Spirit is charitable. God Bless* Welcome back sis... (((((Love and Hugs))))) .

Author pureinheart Posted March 31, 2007 Author Share Posted March 31, 2007 Hey Love Hurts! How is your daughter doing? The daughter with the heart issues? She has been on my heart heavily the past couple of weeks and have been lifting her up ....it's an unusual type of intercession, not many words, although a depth.... Through much reading on the internet, researching my health issues, ran across some herbs that might help her. Background: Dealing with 2 issues with the same symptoms, one being the possible trigger to the other. Was taking Tylenol w/codeine for over 5 yrs, prior had taken it quite a bit off and on....have had thyroid in the past, although not sure how bad it was, didn't pay much attention to the doctors, and didn't ask enough questions....tests mostlikely were within the "normal" range. Keep in mind "borderline" is still not good and should be monitored. Now my body was freaking out...out of control hunger, racing heart, palpitations, pulse rate up to 120+, high blood pressure (the blood pressure was not a concern as it was still within "normal range"....BUT my blood pressure has always run 90/60.....so is my normal the same as someone elses? What deems normal anyway? The medical community gathers let's say a 100 people....the "range" of normal is determined by the majority of those people and their readings....didn't God say we were all "unique"? I would encourage everyone to be their own doctors in a sense....the medical community is not trained to treat on an "individual" basis....they go by what is deemed "normal"....there are exceptions to this rule....I had one doctor that dug deep into my own personal concerns, still I lacked understanding. God gave us this wonderful tool ....internet...with vast information....we can take an active part in our healing.... Now I am diagnosed with Graves disease (autoimmune/hyperthyroid) and I believe the trigger was the codeine and artificial sweeteners....went through a bad withdrawl from both....the most important thing in all of this is learning why my system "suddenly" went crazy (it really wasn't sudden, it was years of abuse and lack of knowledge). Herbs are a powerful tool....I studied these particular herbs and used them on myself for the heart issues and they really worked as I had severe symptoms.... Lemon balm is an herb that calms the entire body, the racing heart, palpitations, anxiety, ect....Bugelweed deals with the heart concerning many aspects as does Motherwort....I take powder and tonics. There are many others that deal mainly with the heart, specific to each issue. Also have divised an overall plan, not overdoing, but tested on myself and was found to be defficiant in many things due to the way my body reacted....but only need certain things periodically as overload can be toxic such as trace minerals, aminos and multivitamins. Just started taking colostrum which supports the immune system....so far it's working great. Looking back I see the various times in my life that I experienced a little of what is happening now and was misdiagnosed all the way....until something becomes "critical" or a complete manifestation the doctors are limited....but there is vast information on the internet, use discretion still as some articles are blown out of proportion, not fitting the actual, personal situation....this is where the discernment comes in.... Anyway, have your daughter in great prayer Love Hurts....and am doing great...still a bit disorientated, as this was a shock in more ways than one.... Link to post Share on other sites

Anyway, have your daughter in great prayer Love Hurts....and am doing great...still a bit disorientated, as this was a shock in more ways than one.... Pureinheart, It is so good to hear from you...you beautiful soul. You’re missed. I am sorry and thankful you are going through; this time. Sorry because it’s a time a transition and it can be difficult. Thankful because I know in advance God makes all things good. Amen My daughter is experiencing the same as you in certain levels. She does too have the rapid heart rate and craves sugar. She is a small female recently has put on 10 lbs. Being small framed and short. Only 5 ft. 1 in. I can see the weight gain … She is busy and does not eat much at all… but she loves sugar… Its like half a cup of sugar and the rest coffee yik… I sipped hers once by mistake and its like syrup… She said I crave it … If I don’t have sugar I get a headache and feel low. So we had her tested. Its not thyroid. So what is it? Is she a sugar addict? She has always been trim slender and now these 10 lbs are obvious. What if it doesn’t stop? What if she keeps gaining? She also woke from sleep one morning with her heart was racing as if she had been jogging? I think she is having anxiety attacks and needs to be calmed through medication. Your suggesting natural herb is good. Ironically she happened to be with me when I read your post. I told to write these names down… she said no problem she can recall them mentally… lol unlike me… I need to write things down or keep a list. She just recalls. This baffles me... How can she recall a list of names two or three days from now after only hearing them once or reading of them once … and not know where her car keys are? Ok lol we can figure that one out later. For now she is on the herbal path mentally… since discussing this with her. Its good timing Pureinheart. I wish she could cut down on the sugar. I don’t know if it’s a taught habit to reach a place of craving or its chemical that craves to begin with. So here we are. Other than what I have tole you about her health. Just as before, its not visually detectable... you cannot tell in her personality that she has a racing heart. [its not constant it an attack] Yes do please keep her in your prayers. She is a voice for the Lord. She is bringing souls up out of darkness in the light of Jesus. Praise the Lord. I am thankful and blessed she is not only saved but shares the word of the Lord with others that have lost their way. An associate of hers took her cell phone and labeled her screen saver Gods Child… lol… GOOD hang name! And we joyously look to go home soon! Its good. Praise Jesus! I do much to be thankful for I give all power and glory to God for His Blessings!!!! I cannot say that enough. “ Father in Jesus name I lift up Pureinheart and my daughter in prayer for their hearts in you Lord. For their health I pray you continue to lead and provide aid and disclose necessary additives to their systems for balance and well-being. Thank you Sweet Lord and Savior for your many blessings and gifts and for hearing and answering prayer, as we walk and grow in you one day at a time. Praise you Jesus.

Author pureinheart Posted April 7, 2007 Author Share Posted April 7, 2007 Pureinheart, It is so good to hear from you...you beautiful soul. You’re missed. I am sorry and thankful you are going through; this time. Sorry because it’s a time a transition and it can be difficult. Thankful because I know in advance God makes all things good. Amen My daughter is experiencing the same as you in certain levels. She does too have the rapid heart rate and craves sugar. She is a small female recently has put on 10 lbs. Being small framed and short. Only 5 ft. 1 in. I can see the weight gain … She is busy and does not eat much at all… but she loves sugar… Its like half a cup of sugar and the rest coffee yik… I sipped hers once by mistake and its like syrup… She said I crave it … If I don’t have sugar I get a headache and feel low. So we had her tested. Its not thyroid. So what is it? Is she a sugar addict? She has always been trim slender and now these 10 lbs are obvious. What if it doesn’t stop? What if she keeps gaining? She also woke from sleep one morning with her heart was racing as if she had been jogging? I think she is having anxiety attacks and needs to be calmed through medication. Your suggesting natural herb is good. Ironically she happened to be with me when I read your post. I told to write these names down… she said no problem she can recall them mentally… lol unlike me… I need to write things down or keep a list. She just recalls. This baffles me... How can she recall a list of names two or three days from now after only hearing them once or reading of them once … and not know where her car keys are? Ok lol we can figure that one out later. For now she is on the herbal path mentally… since discussing this with her. Its good timing Pureinheart. I wish she could cut down on the sugar. I don’t know if it’s a taught habit to reach a place of craving or its chemical that craves to begin with. So here we are. Other than what I have tole you about her health. Just as before, its not visually detectable... you cannot tell in her personality that she has a racing heart. [its not constant it an attack] Yes do please keep her in your prayers. She is a voice for the Lord. She is bringing souls up out of darkness in the light of Jesus. Praise the Lord. I am thankful and blessed she is not only saved but shares the word of the Lord with others that have lost their way. An associate of hers took her cell phone and labeled her screen saver Gods Child… lol… GOOD hang name! And we joyously look to go home soon! Its good. Praise Jesus! I do much to be thankful for I give all power and glory to God for His Blessings!!!! I cannot say that enough. “ Father in Jesus name I lift up Pureinheart and my daughter in prayer for their hearts in you Lord. For their health I pray you continue to lead and provide aid and disclose necessary additives to their systems for balance and well-being. Thank you Sweet Lord and Savior for your many blessings and gifts and for hearing and answering prayer, as we walk and grow in you one day at a time. Praise you Jesus. Amen” Pureinheart you are a joy and a blessing. I do pray you regain balance and continue to be heard in the name of the lord on L.S. Many hear and not all simply forget. You make a diff in Jesus name. God Bless* I love and miss you much. WOW....read your reply yesterday and have been pondering on this issue concerning your daughter and am coming up with little....maybe writing will reveal something so here goes.... My mother did not moniter my intake of sugar, I was an addict as a child. I was an overweight child from birth to about 5 yrs....then became skinny, possibly due to a babysitter who monitered my sugar intake and fed me healthy meals....by right I go towards thin generally... Then at puberty had another bout with weight gain....exersized, ate less...reduction again.... Had much emotional trauma and went to sugar....large amounts, would eat a whole pound of M&M's in one shot....although it did not affect my energy level. At your daughters age consumed large amounts of sugar, at this point remember craving it also....but now when I ate sugar it got me "high" and I would come down hard....it literally progressed to making me sick....from this point reduced the sugar and ate cookies that were basically bland, not too much sugar in them....then about 15 or so years ago cut out all concentrated sugars that contain no nutritional value..."empty calories" so to speak. Still to this day crave sugar when I have an infection in my body. I am very concerned for your daughter as many awful things feed on sugar....it gives the bad stuff fuel. My daughter also was addicted to sugar....OMG it was bad....she has recognized it and is trying to get off of it.....my God-mother craves sugar bad and is a 300lb's, has diabeties and is still unable to break it.... Sis, am going to ponder this more today and ask for revelation knowledge....search the internet, although be cautious, as I am finding with health issues some of the stuff is way out of proportion and is meant to place fear in our beings....our bodies have remarkable recovering properties and I think some of the articles don't see this....personal accounts are the best.... GBU sis....need to build a sand box for the littles guys....be back later!!!!!! Link to post Share on other sites

GBU sis....need to build a sand box for the littles guys....be back later!!!!!! Pureinheart, Thank you for this information on sugar. Calculating this a little deeper I think she has to avoid the junk food on the fly… meaning specially McDonalds meals. Its not good. We had a talk about her diet today; she said she hasn’t been there as often and agreed to stop going there for a quick meal. Do you know what brought it to her attention that McDonalds was not good for her? She had soft drink, fries and burger and her chest started to hurt. She said; I felt like I was going to have a heart attack…. Imagine that? Well if that is out of her diet and she cuts down on her sugar… She should be ok. I do pray she is… and as for how long has she been a sugar addict? She must have simply enjoyed the sugar bowl? We never had much candy here. So as sugar goes… it had to stem from bowl. It’s apparently a self taught habit which is still the main fix of her addiction today… its in the cup. Even so considering what has changed in order to gain ten pounds if the addiction of sugar has been for some time and weight was not gained from it and suddenly now it is… so what is different? McDonalds is different, that is the extra ten lbs… It has to be. So if she skips that it should make a big diff in the long run. It’s a start. Understand I am by no means downplaying the negatives of sugar in a bodies system. I understand its not good. And from your posts she too is more aware. I pray she has complete desire to make a difference and makes a new practice of “not much”. God Bless* PS How did that sandbox turn out? Curious; did you build from a kit or create your own? I enjoy carpentry. It’s so nice to make things and marvel what your hands have accomplished. Gifts from God. Link to post Share on other sites
Author pureinheart Posted April 9, 2007 Author Share Posted April 9, 2007 (((((((((((hugggs)))))))) Love Hurts..... That is so cool that you don't do sugar nor have any handy....I didn't either with my kids, but they found it elsewhere. The rapid heart deal has me puzzled also....well I guess God made it clear He didn't want her to have McDonalds anymore.....so McDonalds is triggering this or creating it. Thinking I should look that up on the internet and see if there are any reports concerning what they put in the food. Could it be an allergic reaction? In thinking back, in '94 was going through some severe withdrawls from pain meds and got a migrain, so took some asprin (knowing I was allergic to it) and as God as my witness I thought I was having a heart attack, it was horrible....something in the food is causing a reaction possibly. The Lord will reveal..... The sand box was a kit.....the put together type, it's so cute ....GBU LH, you are so precious and I have missed seeing you on LS, this is a strange infirmity to deal with.... Am praying for you and all of yours, you are all very special! Link to post Share on other sites

Am praying for you and all of yours, you are all very special! Holidays and candy go together. Other than that it was a rare buy. I’ll let you in on something…. My two sisters and I were chatting and it was made clear that none of us are attracted to donuts and we wondered why we get a weird feeling about them? And shy away form the purchase of them. Upon recall we discovered it stems from our childhood. My mother would prepare wholesome meals and did have a fresh baked cake or some homemade dessert for the conclusion of every dinner. Well we got to the point as young girls that we didn’t want our meat and veges… we would taste of and ask for our dessert. My father noticed she was pitching leftover foods out and the desserts were gone. Guess what he did…? He made us walk each day to town and buy 2 dozen doughnuts and we had to eat those doughnuts for breakfast lunch and dinner each day for two weeks. Every day 2 dozen more came to the house. My God we were begging for food and didn’t want any more doughnuts. I recall being so ill from them… I was brining them back up and still each day they kept coming to the house. Finally he gave in and said enough. Now lets eat properly shall we? And we did very thankfully so.. for meat and veges. And dessert……….no thanks ……I’ll pass…..to this day very often. He turned us off sugar a good deal through that stunt. My father has a theory. “give them enough rope and they’ll hang themselves”….he is usually right. We also sort of picked up on my mothers traditions that candy is primarily for holidays. Not to say a sweet treat was not available at other times… but was a rarity. Especially with my father watching the house…. One thing they both liked… was ice cream predominantly in the summertime. Summer time brought ice cream cones, freezer pops and popsicles and the drink of the day was my fathers bitter Kool-Aid… I say bitter have you ever tasted Kool-Aid with a meager amount of sugar? Yik it makes your throat feel hairy and we got accustomed to it. If that was not acceptable then drink water or milk. Pop was not on our table. Some things of our youth we carry with us into our own nest … Oh Pureinheart, I have missed seeing you here too… it is so good hear from you and that you are holding on and cutting through…. Praise Jesus. God Bless* ((((((hugs )))))) Thank you for your continued prayers they are so much appreciated. I do pray the Good Lord Blesses in return to your efforts in our behalf a ten -fold blessing. Link to post Share on other sites
