My heart became sick last week at the things I've researched and uncovered about supposed "christian" leaders around the world. Sick to tears. Weeping before God and begging for this revelation to end. The sins against the innocent run deep. The demons of evil deeds are alive and well on planet earth. Lucifer's dominion is seeping with pure evil. The Luciferians are many and their hands are dripping in the blood of our children. Don't be fooled....to these Luciferians, abortion is nothing more than one more child sacrifice. The Lord will seek retribution. God will not be mocked. 

The only 2 words that set me on a path forward for truth were "spirit cooking". I'm not going to say more...you can begin to dig for yourself. Nothing really measures to much unless we do the work ourselves. Pray and discern. 

2 Thessalonians 2 gives us warnings about the man of lawlessness. These acts of lawlessness and crime go beyond the imagination of what my innocent mind could even conjure. 

"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?' Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evil doers!'" Matthew 7:21-23

Mark 13:5 "Watch out that no one deceives you."

The entire chapter of Mark 13 warns us to "WATCH"! Be on guard! Your enemy the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. But stand firm in your faith, act like a man and be strong.

​Remember...stay ready, so you don't have to get ready!

I Thess 5:19 "Do no put out the Spirit's fire; do not treat prophecies with contempt. Test everything. Hold on to the good. Avoid every kind of evil."

My sadness is that the "church" is going to be found sleeping. The "church" is worried about the color of carpet. The "church" is fighting about which programs to have and who will be in charge. The "church" is taking attendance. The "church" is dying. It is asleep. 

President Donald J Trump has signed a proclamation making September, Preparedness Month. You might wonder what you need to be prepared for....only God knows...but perhaps...

• Hurricanes
• Floods
• Fires
• Tornadoes
• Unemployment
• Any Disaster-manmade or natural
• Civil Unrest
• Marshall Law
• War
• Pestilence
• Famine​

I tell you, a time is coming, but has not yet been made known when it may appear that the end is near, but don't be deceived and don't fear....pray for a spirit of discernment, ask for eyes to see and ears to hear. Press into the WORD OF TRUTH!

We've entered a time of what may appear to be political victories. President Trump was elected to fulfill promises made....and he has. The economy is booming. The stock market is soaring. People are back to work. He's undone a lot of the socialistic policies that President Obama enacted. He's undone executive orders set forth to destroy our country. 

As God's Spirit prophesied to a sister, so His Spirit spoke similar words to mine. Don't despair when the "sickle of divine justice and judgement shall fly across this nation. As my Spirit of truth, righteousness and the fear of The Lord comes like a sharp sickle moving swiftly, severely and suddenly up the heads of the wicked. Listen! For the sound of righteous retribution will be heard going forth across the land, Watch and pray beloved, for those who have violated my laws and my statutes and those who have killed the unborn and those who have bowed down to the idol of Baal in this nation will now be gathered up like ripe grapes on the vine and they shall be trodden under foot, watch as the sharp sickle of my justice and judgement now flys forth across the Nation of America." Prophecy by Veronica West 9-17-18. 

The Harvest of the Earth Revelations 14
…18Still another angel, with authority over the fire, came from the altar and called out in a loud voice to the angel with the sharp sickle, “Swing your sharp sickle and gather the clusters of grapes from the vine of the earth, because its grapes are ripe.” 19So the angel swung his sickle over the earth and gathered the grapes of the earth, and he threw them into the great winepress of God’s wrath.

Recently Holy Spirit has opened my eyes to see the evils that are surrounding our nation and the truth surrounding us as believers in Jesus Christ. Evils that I'd rather not of known about. Evils that I could of died in "peace" not knowing about. Evils that will bring this nation to destruction. This is a spiritual war we live in. Make sure you put on your armor daily!

If you aren't ready for this revelation, then read no further...trust in the Lord...pray for discernment...BUT STOP HERE.
​
​Habakkuk 2:3 "For the revelation awaits an appointed time; it speaks of the end and will not prove false. Though it linger, wait for it; it will certainly come and will not delay."

• The Lord says to get ready. (repeated theme) Matthew 25:1-13, Revelation 16:15
• The Lord says do not fear. Matthew 6:25-34
• The Lord says PRAY! Prov 15:8, John 17:15

"Though a thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand. You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked." Psalm 91:7-8 

It may appear that all hell is breaking loose and frankly it is. The top will soon be blown off. The dominos will fall.

I have seen evidence of the sheer evils that rule this land. The satanic worship that is taking place in high places. The human sacrifice of our children on the altars of satan. (think human trafficking, abortion...do your homework...do your own research...don't just believe me....dig for yourself...it will make you sick.)

"A discerning heart seeks knowledge, but the mouth of a fool feeds on folly." Proverbs 15:14

I've recently come to see a revelation that America is The Great Babylon in prophecy. I've questioned it with notes in my Bible in the past, but not had a clear revelation. I'm learning again to trust when Holy Spirit speaks to me.

​Revelations 18 speaks of the fall of Babylon. Read it for yourself. 
​
"Come out of her, my people, so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive any of her plagues; for her sins are piled up to heaven, and God has remembered her crimes." Rev 18:4-5

Study Matthew 25 and The Parable of the Ten Virgins. Don't wait to get ready. Get ready now...stay ready.  

verse 13 ​"Therefore keep watch, because you do not know that day or the hour."

Ironically, President Trump has signed a proclamation making September National Preparedness Month. ...get ready...stay ready. Whatever you do...do not fear....do not panic...stay ready and pray.

Leviticus 23:23-25

"The Lord said to Moses, 'Say to the Israelites; 'On the first day of the seventh month you are to have a day of rest, a sacred assembly commemorated with trumpet blasts. Do no regular work, but present an offering made to the Lord by fire.'"

Rosh Hashanah will arrive at an unexpected hour when the first sliver of the moon is detected. Then the trumpets will sound.

​This year, The Feast of Trumpets will arrive sometime on September 10 and be commemorated until sunset on September 11. 

Saints, be ready for the day of the Lord is near. Don't fear what is happening around us, keep your eyes on Jesus. 
​

As we go to worship tomorrow...the first day of The Feast of Trumpets....
"IN A LOUD VOICE THEY SANG:
WORTHY IS THE LAMB, WHO WAS SLAIN,
TO RECEIVE POWER AND WEALTH AND 
WISDOM AND STRENGTH
AND HONOR AND GLORY
AND PRAISE."
Revelation 5:12
If you ever witness me in worship....I will never sit when we sing this Scripture.
I will stand in the assembly even if it means, I stand alone.
Frankly...I believe I should be flat on my face, prostrate before The King of Kings.

Remember...."Stay ready, to keep from having to get ready"...Chuck Swindle

"If you confess me before men....I will confess you before my Father."
​Jesus

It's so much easier to write anonymously...but I'm known personally by many of you. 

You know most if not all my flaws, my blemishes, my sins.

If there is one thing most of you know...I'm unashamed...I'm bold...and I'm fearless...to the point at times of being controversial, in your face or opinionated. (silent laughter...inside family  joke!)

What you don't know, is what it took to form this heart in me. 

It took years in the desert. Years of being voiceless. Years of fear. 

I sit here in the quiet of this morning...alone. The Hired Hand has run an errand...and I can blare my worship music...and listen as God speaks to my heart. I can sit here and let The Holy Spirit have his way with my fingers.  

Have you ever felt like you are dwelling in "the valley of dry bones"? As I'm writing this...I'm reminded what God told his man of old...Speak to those dry bones! Tell them to come alive!!! Be bold. Speak truth.

I believe as we proclaim truth, the liar must flea. 

Friends...I do believe our time is short. I believe the church of Christ will be snatched up like a thief in the night. He's coming to remove us from this world. It's time to get your hearts ready..."Stay ready so you don't have to get ready." Chuck Swindoll

The Lord has been showing me things...things that are not for the weak of heart...things that will cause despair, fear and turmoil. Don't wait. Get your heart ready....NOW.

We celebrated our firstborn's 34th  birthday yesterday as she and her husband awaited the sonogram of Baby Tran.

Our little EuEu will be a big brother in 4 months and my daughter will have 2 under 2....and she thinks she's tired now. 

The 1400 mile distance that we now have between us is heart wrenching for Nana. I weep and she laughs at me. 

God made her to be the Mama of rough and tumble little boys. She doesn't like drama. She doesn't like fuss and muss. She is a very low maintenance girl; capable and smart. She's such a good Mama.

Nearly every weekday morning we video chat during breakfast....that's the only time Eu is still now. Once he's down from his high chair, he's into a million things. 

My plane ticket is purchased for the next trip North to babysit Graham. He called yesterday and his Mama and Daddy have taught him to say....I LOVE NANA!!! Oh my....I'm losing it...big time. He's still confused because he has 2 Grandpa's...boy am I glad I chose the name Nana...plus it's super easy to say at 12 months! 

I find it amazing that God made our hearts to expand greater and greater. To love deeper and deeper. When we think we possibly can't love more...we do. 

If you've known me for any amount of time....5 years, 20 years, 50 years....or 60 years, you know that my health and my weight have been an up and down journey. Mostly up. Mostly down. 

I've been "sick" since 1970. That's a long time.

​A very long time. 

I'm convinced that I contracted Lyme Disease and most likely Erhlichiosis when I was 13. Mom took me from doctor to doctor. They knew there was something wrong with my kidneys but back then, I'm not sure they even knew Erhlichiosis hit the kidneys...and for sure there wasn't even a name for Lyme until 1971 when the first child was diagnosed in Lyme Connecticut. 

I was finally diagnosed with Lyme in 2000, but not tested for any of the co-infections until 2006 when my entire system crashed after receiving 3-4 vaccinations to go to India. I'd also been diagnosed with Epstein Barr Virus twice in my early life. All that combined created a cesspool in my DNA.

..................................................

Since arriving in Texas two years ago, my life has taken several paths to not just conquer my health but to get to the root of it. I figured if you get to the root of anything you can yank that root up and throw it in the fire! But have you tried to pull the entire root of a very strong plant? Dandelion? Bull Nettle? 

Usually the root breaks off and the plant grows again...only to be a thorn in your side. 

All these years....47 to be exact, I've been shooting at a target blind folded. 

You can't imagine...or maybe you can....how much I've prayed about this...prayed for healing...prayed for wisdom.

My entire adult life...I've been a Foodie! This blog...my old blogs...always circling those wagons back around food!!!

I've prayed more than most about what to eat....not just giving thanks, but asking if I should eat this....asking the Holy Spirit to show me what and how to eat. 

Seriously...most people just shove food in their faces and never give it a second thought. Me? I'm constantly struggling over food...do I eat this or not? Do I eat meat or do I just eat veggies? Do I eat healthy fats or no fats? 

WHAT DO I EAT?????

My thoughts always go back to:
​
Proverbs 3:7 "Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil. This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones."

Isaiah 55:2b "LISTEN, LISTEN to me, and eat what is good, and your soul will delight in the richest of fare." (fare is food!!!)

1Timothy 4:4-5 "For everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with Thanksgiving, because it is consecrated by the word of God and prayer."

Suddenly one day...and frankly I cannot remember how...but I do believe when the student is ready the teacher will come. Out of nowhere, a book dropped in my lap that I'm praying is going to change my life....next to The Bible.

​

I decided to let 23andme run my DNA and then I downloaded my raw data into a program Dr Ben wrote to spit out the information in a readable form for us to understand....because frankly, this is all WAY over my pay grade!

What I found is life changing....and I mean life changing!!!! 

The reasons behind my family of alcoholism, the reasons behind weight struggles, the reasons behind depression, the reasons behind anxiety, the reasons behind food allergies and sensitivities, the reason it's hard for me to fall asleep, the reason why I am a 1 cup of coffee girl and a 0 alcohol girl....the reason behind why I am who I am!!!!

I can't tell you how excited that made me!!!

It's not just more pieces to my puzzle...it is my puzzle! It's the form in which to put my puzzle together.

The book mostly addresses 7 mutated genes....of which I have 6 out of 7 and the 7th is dirty but not mutated. And that particular gene...the DAO is a great portion why I have food/histamine intolerances.

Prior to even finding this book I started CRAVING meat after being vegan for almost 2 years. 

I asked hubs one afternoon if he wanted to go out to eat because I just had to have some Salmon. And being vegan there wasn't much meat in our house. I had to have some Salmon! 

Of course he'd been deprived of eating out for over 2 years...and he jumped for it!!! YES!!! YES!!!! LET'S GO!!! NOW!!!

............................................
​I know most of you are just laughing because poor Bob has had to live with all my life experiments...I mean experiences! 

Gosh that man loves me! He has put up with SO much in 36.5 years!!! Ain't love grand!

He has listened to me and adapted his own way of eating to gain better health....he struggles with migraines and is always trying to figure how to eliminate them from his life...he's getting closer and closer using diet and nutrients. He's down to 145! That's always been his goal weight for 36 years!

I am SO glad I listened to the Holy Spirit when He said....EAT SALMON! 

Because one specific gene snip (snps) can only be helped with SALMON!!! Salmon fulfills nearly every single nutrient this gene (the MTHFR gene) needs! I eat Salmon now at least once a week. And I use the app Chronometer (upgraded) to track my intake for the day and to keep me on target for nutrients and staying in ketosis.

I'm not just eating Salmon, but I'm eating ALL meat and healthy fats....grassfed or wild meat, free range eggs, goat cheese, coconut oil, ghee....all as clean as possible. I have to do a lot of drop shipments....but heck, that saves on impulsive purchases! 

My neighbor gave me two big blocks of this gorgeous sausage....it's from Barbary Sheep. OMGoodness is it delicious!!! 

My plate is still filled with veggies. A lot of veggies! 

I work at finding what foods help me fall asleep and stay in dreamland. Dr Ben Lynch recommends a high veggie carb before bed....so it's usually broccoli or butternut squash with a fat. Otherwise he recommends a Keto Diet for cleaning these genes ...mostly the MTHFR gene. I keep my carbs below 25% daily and my fats are higher than my proteins....it's all learning how to wash and scrub my dirty genes!

I drink BulletProof Coffee....again....oh yes, none of this is new! My coffee is my breakfast for 3 days a week when I do intermittent fasting. I fast from 5:30pm to about noon the next day....and I only do this 3-4 days a week. Intermittent fasting has been shown to force the body to create new cells faster. I'm all for that! The gut can be remade in 7 days...that's awesome!!!

BulletProof Coffee is taking strong black coffee putting in the blender with a scoop of collagen, a teaspoon or more of butter/ghee and MCT oil. It's like drinking a healthy Latte! SO good with a dash of cinnamon too!

I'm reassured that "there is nothing new under the sun." Thank you Solomon!!! That makes me feel better!!!

​

 July 2016 I weighed in at around 167 size 12/14 and no matter what I did...I couldn't drop 1 pound my health had tanked
I'm now weighing in around 125 and wearing a size 6! 

I think I heard Dr Mark Hyman say, when the body is healing the weight will follow. I totally agree. It's taken me 2 years but it's also taken me 2 years to really begin to heal....and to rethink like a thin person.

I believe the unintended consequences of not eating meat for most part of 2 years was the strain it put on my brain. When I crashed in March 2018, it was mostly all in my brain. The only reason I did start to feel better on a vegan diet was because I ate a lot of leafy greens and veggies....they fulfilled what my MTHFR gene needed, but when my focus shifted to Dr McDougall's method of eating mostly potatoes, being a Starchavore...CRASH LANDING!!! One very comforting fact is that people like Drs Mark Hyman and Ben Lynch also ate a vegetarian diet. No one can be faulted for trying to improve their health. I'm grateful God has never given up on me.

Once I added meat and fats back into my diet, my biggest "fear" was gaining weight again....but after a month of eating mostly a Keto type diet advocated by Dr Ben Lynch for cleaning up my dirty genes...I've continued to drop weight at about 1 pound a week.

​Although weight was never my goal...it is the cherry on top...I cannot lie!!!

.................................
SO, here we go again...another journey to restore my health. Now, I'm truly eating to fit into my GENES!!! 

I love my genes!!! ;)
