Oh thank you for the encouraging words..Cheri & Barb. God has truely given you both the gift of encouragement. I thought of you both today as I went about cleaning the house & such. I was thinking on the scripture. Philppeans 4:18 where He talks about think on whatsoever things are pure, lovely, and of good report. I have had a hard time lately finding those things but today I had a good report of some prayer partners that I feel are truly lifing me up in prayer when I am having so much trouble doing it myself. I cried as I read your post because I have been praying for God to send me someone going through this the same as me that I could talk to. I had thought he would send me someone in person..and He may. But for now he has sent me you on the computer and it is a relief. I didn't have a panic attack today. Some anxiety, but at least I was able to get out of the house & walk a little today. I am obsessing to much about my blood pressure & don't get oo far from where I can take it & lay down if it's up. I know I'm overeacting, but I'm praying God will help me with that. I am wearing a 30 day event monitor to see if we can "catch" the episodes with my heart & blood pressure both to see if it is anything to worry about. As bad as I don't want to have one of those episodes..hopefully I will with it on so I can have some reassurance. I started over with lesson 1 because I had stopped doing it before. I'm doing my relaxation tape at night..but find it hard to do during the day with all the kids (teenagers) home from school. Cheri..I ordered "Battlefiled of the Mind" today because I see in your posts how it has helped you & I pray it will me as well. Thank you again.

Joyce Meyer wrote that book and she is on TV! at my house on Dish network, she is one 4 times a day. She speakes to me, and has helped me so much to let go and let God.

Sick&tired; I love your Avitar, it is so peacefull! in the islands we were in Hawii 12 years ago, I could live there. it is perpetual spring there. I love to hear the ocien, and the laid back, "just hang loose" attitude of the people, really make you slow down and enjoy the perfect precios moments in the day.
Congratulations on a Good Day, littel by little you will have more and more, good days, but don't get down wen trials come, always remember we can't recognize a good day but every day "is a day the Lord has made, and I WILL rejoice and be glad in it. Corry Tanboon, is wonderfull in helping you see the Lord in every event in your life.

My mother had high blood pressure, and her pulse was always over 120. last month I went to her and my daughter, they live together now. to start the Exeicutive diet. the book is "Stressed out headed for Burnout".by Dr. Evan Mladenoff. my Holistic Dr. gave it to me. Simpply; it is a NO carb diet for 2 weeks, then the next 2 weeks some carbs are added back in, and the rest of your life a few more carbs are added back in. The pruppose of the diet is to lowere blood pressure, and prevent diabettes, predominently by resting your adrenal glands before they burn out. Our culture RUNS on addrenalen, and our bodies, are not built for that, "Come un to Me and I will give your rest" is so importeant! and our culture doesn't allow that, pluss the added stressers in our day, the demands of todays life style is very difficult to relax in. But the worst is the bombardment in our diet of suggar. everything we eat has sugar even our bread has corn syrup, a highly addictive form of sugar. caffen, and other, pick me ups. Today all the adds are for energy boosters! that fire off your adrenal glands and produce addrenalin (the fight or flight response in our boddies) All of this tends to wear out our adrenal glands, and when they give up we get diabeties, high blood pressure, etc. Lucinda mentions changing you diet and it is so important. Back to my mother, her pulse was always atleast 120 in just 1 week on the NO carb diet, her pulse was a normal 78, and her blood pressure is normal 120 over 70 also. She is amazed, and she is going to her Dr. now 3 weeks in to this program, she is ready to get off her blood pressure medicen, she is 78. My daughter is going to a holistic Dr. and he had her on herbs to support her adrenal glands, she was going to him every week. Yesterday she told him she had no pain for the past 2 weeks, so he told her she could start comeing evry 2 weeks now. It is amazing how we just go along with this sugar excessive diet, and think nothing of it. because since the 50's is has slowly taken over our culture. I won't say it is an easy diet, but I will tell you when you do it, you will feel better in the first week. the fact is we are addicted to sugar, and it is killing us. You will feal tired, the second week, and vitamins are important to help you make the transition. particularly the B,vitamins, and C. but it is well worth it.

You can live 10, minuites without air
10, days without watter
40, days without food
and foever without sugar.

Heather; I have the CD's for the Book "Battlefield of the Mind" and I listen to it in the car, and I have a walkmen, so when I go on my walk in the day I can hear it. I just don't take time to sit and read much, I tell my slef faith comeith by hearing any way. joyceMyer.org has so many good teachings, to encourage your walk with the lord, and we can use all we can get. Thank your for your kind and encourageing words.

We all need each other, to concor this earth, God we know we are not of this earth but we are here as salt and light. God Be with us all today, and every day of our lives, May we know you and your word so we can reach out and plant seeds in the lives of others, then get ready for the harvest, in Jesus Name Amen.

Thank you call for the encouragement too. What goes around comes around so may everyone on here be blessed. I too cannot say enough about Joyce Meyer. It's totally amazing how God uses her. She must be one organized woman to get all the things accomplished she does. I just bought her synergy series "Health and Happiness".

Hi Cheri..I ordered the "Battlefield of the Mind" on CD as well because I have a hard time concentrating long enough to sit down & read. But I can put my headphones on & listen as I go about. I do watch Joyce Meyer sometimes on my Christian network here too. Had a bit of a rough time yesterday but I know I'm not going to heal overnight. I couldn't find that book about the diet. I am dieting now though & have lost 15 lbs. I've tried limiting my bread to one serving per day. I'm off sugar 2 weeks now! Yippee for that. I was addicted. I'm glad to hear the good report on your mother & your daughter. I love reading your daily encouragement. God Bless you today.

Well back again. I have been with my husband to his reunion in San Diego, it was wonderfull! we spent some time with family too. on our way home we picked up our son and his wife at the airport, and drove them to our house for a week, then as we were driveing them back to the plane we got word one of my husband's cousins he had not see in 45 years was going to be at our house that night so we hurried home a 9 hour drive in the pooring rain, to get home, they beat us but they let themselves in, and were comfortably waiting for us, the next morning after I made breakfast, we went in to look at the musium in town, I got sick from the mold as it has been raining all spring and summer Prais the Lord!!!! so I am comeing out of that now. and finally I am home alone, and able to get back to my friends in the prayer grope. Good to be back! it looks like you have all been bussy!!

This morning I am reading my calender from Jouce Meyer.
Safe in the Potter's Hands; Perparation is a process that takes time, While God is preparing us to fulfill His purpose for our lives, His anointing is being released in us in perfectly timed capsules. The anointing is the Holy Spirit enabling us to do what God has called us to do. During this time of prepatation, the Holy Spirit teaches, corrects, sanctifies, helps, and stengthens us. He molds and fashinos us into people He can use to minister to and bless the lives of others.
So I went down to the potter's house, and I saw him working at the wheel, But the pot he was shaping from the clay was marred in his hands; so the potter formed it into another pot, shaping it as seemed best to him. Then the word of the LORD came to me; "O house of Israil, can I not do with you as this potter does?" declares the LORD. "Like clay in the had of the potter, so are you in my hand....." - Jeremiah 18;3-6 NIV

our lives are directed by the Lord, and this illistrates to me that we are molded from what the would has changed us in to, back into what God designed us to be. It can be painfull, it can be miraculus, it can be delightfull, but it is importat to God that we accomplesh that witch he made us to be in the beginning. to proper, and subdue the land. I don't believe we can do it alone. Our selfritiousness can get in our way, the longer we try to do it ourselves, the longer our willderness gets. as Moses wondered in the wildrness 40 years and Jesus 40 days, we have a time to get ready for war, with God's enemy. God readys us, armes us, and directs us, and protects us, as this is his battle, we need only to pray and believe God is working in our lifes. We need only to comunicate our love to Him, and accept His love for us. Knowing who we are; His child, and why we are here; to love one another. makes life simple, and easy, as we are Save in the Potter's Hands, weather we see it or not we are fearfully and perfect in the eyes of God by the blood of His Son, and not by our works, or deeds. Yet we are expected to do that witch we were created to do. fellowship with God! "Trust and Obay, for their is no other way to be happy......" as the song goes.

We need more confidence in the Name of Jesus and less confidence in ourselves or anyone else to solve our problems. There is power in the Name of Jesus. by Joyce Meyer
