Learning to be a prayer warrior..

I have been listing to the teachings of a preacher named John. I'm pretty sure he teaches the winning walk, but I can't remember specifically. The cd's my friend gave me have been very helpful.

The teachings are about the Lords prayer. In 65 words and simply put, it teaches you how to pray the way the Lord told me to in the bible. The other night when I was reading the Lords word, I came across a prayer that I love and am working on to say daily. It goes like this:

God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to us the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, in the eyes of our understanting being enlightened; that we may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power

That passage is from Ephesians 1: 17-19

It's exciting to learn the word of God, and my life is being led by his teachings. I am on my way to learning how to be a prayer warrior, and through the midst of troubling times, learning how to make decisions with the Lords help, instead of being mislead. I have made some terrible decisions in the past, surrounded myself with people that hurt me, or intended to hurt me, and the Lord has saved me from myself and my terrible decision making. I am on this journey and knowing that he is with me, like David, I am ready to fight the Goliaths in my life, because I know that these Goliaths aren't coming up against me, they are coming up against the Lord...and amen he is with me.

May God Bless you in your life, wherever he is meeting you at.

Yours in health,

the Lord is my redeemer

<sup>I am a literal bible believer. I have been born again into a new way of life that I am absolutely in love with, and although I am faced with many trials of brutality, I stand strong with Christ in my heart.

Anyone who knows me, understands that I have a very strong love for my Lord and savior Christ Jesus, the Messiah. I know there are a lot of people out there, haters, non-believers, agnostics, etc..who don't understand why I act the way I do, talk the way I do or even believe the way I do. I am not always being the person God wants me to be, and my human skin seeks things that are not the right way. I am on a path of learning, and teaching, I hope to be able to share how I feel about the Lord with millions of people some day. This life is a Journey, and I know that those who do love and care about me, they accept who I am and what I represent. They understand the path that I am on, and they don't give me a hard time because going against my morals would claim me defeat by my enemies. If my enemies want to come at me, they can and I won't hate them, hurt them, or even act the way they do, because that is not who I wish to represent. Walking the path, laying my life down for Christ, is the best thing that I could have ever done. It was like I was drowning in a sea of sharks and poison jellies, and the Lord tossed me a life raft and pulled me out..just before my life was about to be over, I was saved. I encourage everyone that lets me to read their bible. And if they don't have one, I will buy one for them, for it speaks the truth and teaching every one of us truly how we are supposed to treat one another.

The first book I ever read in the bible, was the book of Job. A man of faith, who was completely defeated in everything he gained, yet never turned his back on faith. I kept opening the bible and over and over again, Job was the book. To my surprise, I felt like him at times, not really understanding why the world comes down on me and looking to my faith to pick me up and keep me with peace. Most things are out of our control. There is no denying that this world is much larger, the universe even more so, and we are just tiny grains of dust trying to get by. I know one things for sure, I would never be where I am, or have gotten by without the Lord. I am humble, happy, completely content and ready for the journey and the perfect will that he has in store for my life. This life, these times, they are all trivial. It's up to us to chose wisely, to understand what is right from wrong, to allow God's will for us all. I hope you are all having a blessed life, I look to my bible for the answers that God wants to show me, and there I find the truth.

1</sup> Then Job answered the LORD and said:

² “I know that You can do everything,
And that no purpose of Yours can be withheld from You.

³ You asked, ‘Who is this who hides counsel without knowledge?’
Therefore I have uttered what I did not understand, Things too wonderful for me, which I did not know.

⁴ Listen, please, and let me speak;
You said, ‘I will question you, and you shall answer Me.’

⁵ “I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear,
But now my eye sees You.

⁶ Therefore I abhor myself,
And repent in dust and ashes.”

⁷ And so it was, after the LORD had spoken these words to Job, that the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “My wrath is aroused against you and your two friends, for you have not spoken of Me what is right, as My servant Job has.

⁸ Now therefore, take for yourselves seven bulls and seven rams, go to My servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and My servant Job shall pray for you. For I will accept him, lest I deal with you according to your folly; because you have not spoken of Me what is right, as My servant Job has.”

⁹ So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went and did as the LORD commanded them; for the LORD had accepted Job.

¹⁰ And the LORD restored Job’s losses when he prayed for his friends. Indeed the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.

¹¹ Then all his brothers, all his sisters, and all those who had been his acquaintances before, came to him and ate food with him in his house; and they consoled him and comforted him for all the adversity that the LORD had brought upon him. Each one gave him a piece of silver and each a ring of gold.

¹² Now the LORD blessed the latter days of Job more than his beginning; for he had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, one thousand yoke of oxen, and one thousand female donkeys.

¹³ He also had seven sons and three daughters.

¹⁴ And he called the name of the first Jemimah, the name of the second Keziah, and the name of the third Keren-Happuch.

¹⁵ In all the land were found no women so beautiful as the daughters of Job; and their father gave them an inheritance among their brothers.

¹⁶ After this Job lived one hundred and forty years, and saw his children and grandchildren for four generations.

¹⁷ So Job died, old and full of days.

sad day...

Hello to many even though nobody ever reads this,

I have been running pretty well, keeping to a mile a day. Which still feels like an absolute struggle to me, even though I am improving my breathing. I missed the last couple days, haven't ate, lot's of animosity came my way and conflict occurred. Yesterday was the monthly event women loathe, and today just a struggle. I am trying real hard to keep peace in my life, God challenges me on things and it's just difficult. I know someone out there reading this understands, but I am going to keep running, keep striving, I'm moving on. I hope the rest of you out in the world are keeping your peace, I am keeping mine. Thank God.

the challenges of life day 5

I'm gonna make it!! Am I gonna make it??

Hey,

I have decided 5 days ago that I would take a challenge, and it's a start for what I would like to accomplish in this lifetime. I would like to be a triathlete. This encompasses challenges of biking, swimming and running, the first two of which I have no problem and am not challenged the way I am when I run.

My cardio is not so great. A student asked me just three days ago, 'how did you first notice when your cardio improved?' To which I responded, I am still working on it. Not yet improved....

A man once told me that if you do anything 25 days in a row, you become addicted. I wanted to test his theory, and to my surprise on day 5, I have felt a little lighter on my feet. I let the student know, I am running 25 miles in 25 days. This can't be so hard. I have to take 8 to 10 minutes of my day and hit the track, no big deal. Yesterday was day 5. If it weren't for Lisa meeting me at the pool, I may have passed up day 5 due to over exhaustion. The studio is near completion, about 75% and yesterday I was tired, cranky and just not feeling like a run.

My client called me at 6 pm and wanted to meet at the pool just a mile away. So I ran there, swam 1/2 mile and she drove me home. Day 6 today, the weather is perfect for a run, and I think i'm starting to become addicted. I listen to my christian music and just plug away at the 4 laps. It seems long, mundane, not so much a challenge but a chore. The challenge will be if I run the 25 miles in 25 day. Wish me luck and say some prayers. I have not yet decided what happens after 25 days. We shall see, right? I am grateful for the challenge..let's see if I get addicted.

Running has always been a pain for me. I could swim two miles, ride 111 miles, but running 26 miles, that will be the ultimate challenge. We all have to start somewhere, so with the 1 mile baby steps, I know with God by my side I can do anything.

I dislike western medicine with a passion...

Yes, Awesome...To turn a real life dream into a real life reality. I have done many things, worked many different jobs, gone many places...but I never thought I could make a dream come true. With God's help, that is exactly what happened.

It all started really, 3 years ago..when I was sitting at the other end of a business conference room table, when a nice client of the law firms told me I looked like crap. I took his words to heart, and trusted that he had something for me that would make it all better. He did.

I ended up trusting him, and he helped bring me to good health. I felt like God had a plan for my life, and it was purposeful...to help others with their poor health too. Kind of like health ministry. And wouldn't you know it, I am hoping to go into a ministry program in the fall. I'm excited and nervous to be back in school again. It's kind of like bible school all day long. I am ready for it, excited because the bible has been my law of life, and that is the road I feel I am destined for. All because I decided to follow my dreams of being a lawyer one day, this is what lead me to helping people with their health.

If you had asked me 5 years ago where I thought I would be now, I would have told you that I would be just about finished with law school, and heading to take the bar exam. Instead, I am opening up my own business in just 1 months time. Its a personal training studio that is amazing and beating the odds. Our business is growing, our name is recognizable, and up is the only place I wish to go.

I never thought I would be a business owner. The cookie cutter lifestyle was so much a reality for me, college, work, work work work, until life's end. Now it's help people who are really sick, take control of their own health. I have a hard time with the pill pushing that doctors have been escalating over the years. As a result, my insurance rates are high, and doctors are getting kickbacks. Anyone I know that has a problem requiring meds is usually on 3 or 4 medications, when all they really need is the proper diet and exercise. I was on medication my whole life until 3 years ago, I don't take a single drug today. I realize there are some drugs out there that are necessary, and really have some promise. But let's face it pharmaceutical reps, what you do is more harm then good if you only knew the amount of people my company has helped reduce their medicine intake to nothing through nutrition. Let's face it!!! Drugs are not nutrition...





I realize that if I get an infection I'm going to need antibiotics...and anestesia for surgery, possibly the drug that dialates fallopian tubes to get pregnant. I'm not knocking all drugs..just what the drug producing companies represent. Have you seen "sicko" yet? I haven't, but I will soon, there are some truths to healthcare and some major need to reform. We are just one small company, but God can do anything with us, so helping people heal and deal, that is our mission.

I am on a mission to change the ideology of health care. But if I can help change just one life like God helped me with mine, then what a priceless blessing. Stay tuned for more medicine bashing...sas out!
