What if....

What if...


  • I get sick and hospitalized?
  • The cancer has spread and I don't know it?
  • The cancer comes back in 10 years?
  • My body (liver/kidneys) is damaged from the chemo?
  • I'm never healed?
  • I never feel good/normal/strong again?
  • My kids reject the Lord?
  • Mark dies?
  • My kids die?
  • We can't get out of debt?
  • I can't find a job?
  • I get a job I hate?


My good friend, Joan, came to help us for my 4th round of treatment . She is a godly woman and a special friend and I love her dearly. Joan and her husband Mark influenced our lives spiritually more than anyone else. I learned more in the three years that I sat under Pastor Mark's preaching than I have under any other pastor. I am blessed and thankful to call them friends! 



During her time here helping us Joan and I were able to talk a lot; she encouraged me through scripture and challenged me to really trust the Lord in all things. One day after she left, I dropped the kids off at school and took my Bible and my journal and went to the beach. I spent a couple hours listening to the crashing waves and enjoying the warmth of the sun and really gave it some thought...and prayer!



What if?

To be honest, I didn't find the peace I was looking for. I didn't get the answers I wanted or the reassurance that none of those things would happen. We live in a sin-filled world. There's diseases, death, heartaches and a lot of pain and suffering and any one of those questions could happen. I could not be healed. I could have the cancer come back later in life. My husband or kids could die. We could always struggle financially. 

But I do know that God is still God and always will be. I do know that he promises to never leave us or forsake us. Joshua 1:5 "As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you."

And I do know that I can give him my worries and my fears and I don't have to be burdened down by them. Philippians 4:6-7 "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

The God who created all things: the ocean, the birds, me! Loves me and wants me to trust in Him and to cast my cares/stress/anxiety on Him so that I can rest in His peace for the future. So that is what I'll do. 

1 Peter 5:7 "Cast all your anxiety on the Lord, for he cares for you".

After years of struggling with behavior issues with our oldest son (7yrs) we decided to drastically change his diet to see if that would help his behavior. He was anxious, irritable, and easily angered some people said he displayed OCD and mild autistic symptoms. I am happy to say that after changing his diet he is a different child! The stress, anxiety, worry, anger have gone away…what a testimony of healing from natural healthy foods!

My Story...Gluten Free!


Many people today share my same concerns about food, health and nutrition.  There is so much in the news about “organic” and “super foods” and now even some publicity on genetically modified foods.  I have chosen to share with you about a brand new companyBeyond Organic, that I have recently become a part of. Here is my story…
I did my best to be healthy and was happy with the nutrition I provided for my family. I cooked all our food from “scratch” and we used very little sugar, we ate tons of fruits and veggies and we were healthy. My decision to drastically change our diet came recently (we had already changed from cows milk to almond milk to help our children's asthma). My oldest son who is 7 yrs old, has been having some difficulties dealing with life since he turned 3yrs old.  Some people say he has OCD, others say he displays mild autistic symptoms. I thought that was "just him" and that we would have to teach and train him to deal with his anxiety, anger, and constant meltdowns, and that in time he would learn. But at 7 yrs old he still struggled and Mark I and struggled to parent him. So I researched, I consulted my brother Richard (OneBody4Christ.com), and I researched more, and our journey began. We have changed our diets and lifestyle (now gluten free and organic) and our son is a happy, calm, loving and “normal” 7 yr old!! What a testimony of the healing that healthy whole foods can do for your body!
I have learned so much in such a short time and am excited to continue learning! There are a lot of “Organic” labels in the store but what is real? "Organic" and “grass-fed” beef at Whole Foods and other stores only require that the cows consume 30% grass.  Only 30%!  Beyond Organic beef will be 100% green fed! 
Natural health expert Jordan Rubin, CEO of Garden of Life, and author of The Maker's Diet is about to launch a new company called Beyond Organic, which will offer the world’s healthiest foods, including:
·         Beyond Organic 100% GreenFed Beef
·         Beyond Organic raw cheese
·         Beyond Organic 100% GreenFed cultured dairy beverage
·         REIGN - mountain spring water with unsurpassed purity
·         REIGN infused spring waters for enhanced performance in life
·         Beyond Organic certified organic dark chocolate with probiotics and omega-3s

One reason I am very excited about this company is rather than putting this food in health food stores; Beyond Organic will be skipping the middleman and will ship these foods directly from their farm to your family!  
The really great news is you can literally be one of the first people in America to live Beyond Organic.  Since Beyond Organic has not officially launched, from now until October you can become a Beyond Organic Insider.  There is NO fee to sign-up now through September and in that time, you will be educated on the Beyond Organic lifestyle, have the opportunity to try some of the products and discover how you can share the Beyond Organic message with friends, family, colleagues. Become an Insider today!http://www.beyondorganicinsider.com/becomeaninsider.aspx?enroller=0000027280
Change your diet…Change your life…Change your world!
