Relief



In April of 2010 I had surgery to have two impacted wisdom teeth removed. It was one of the most excruciating pains (the removal) that I have ever experience. I developed dry socket...making even inhaling difficult.

Drinking water was a drag. Anything sweet...forget it. To say the least I took 2 weeks off of work because my entire body felt the pain of my gums. I was on drugs that were not able to deal with the pain directly. All the drugs did were make me drowsy and feel weak. It was terrible.

Then someone came along and told me to boil cloves and mix it with black tea. She said not to drink it, but to just let it sit in my mouth. I had tried everything and nothing seemed to bring relief. So, then I decided what can I lose by trying this home remedy.

I boiled the cloves, put them in black tea, and followed the instructions...and instantly I felt the most unbelievable alleviation of total pain. It was as if I never had surgery. I no longer needed the pills that were not helping. 

Today, in my prayers for those who are experiencing pain, I pray that Jesus would be to them as the cloves were to my gums.

Feeding a Holy Discontent

feeding a holy discontent...the lost can still be found. Stay close to your "Holy Discontent" was the repeated message delivered on May 30th 2009, A message I once heard during one of the Leadership Summit. The message didn't hit me as much, the first time I heard it-so thank God for repetition. Homeless, Hungry, Broken, Alone...those were the written words of this gentleman whom I had the privilege to greet. Sitting on a folded quilt (in a clear garbage bag) reading his book. I asked him boldly, with fear, if i could take some pictures of him. I expected a yes or a no but he asked, why? How awesome was that?-totally a great question for conversation. I explained the sermon that was spoken and how i wanted to apply by feeding it, because I couldn't take anymore of it-and he nodded with an understanding look and said, OK. I was really surprised and thanked him. I first asked him what his name was and what he was reading. He told me he was reading a book of soldiers in ...

Good news

Today, I have to thank God for the people he has called and chosen and allowed to be an impacting part of my life. Before the Gospel of Christ came to my ears, I heard of God and of sin, and of death, and of hell and of obedience and of disobedience. But never did i hear of life, and the way out of the things I knew where wrong. When I was a little girl about 11 years old, I was sitting in the park on 156th street after running around in the sprinklers for sometime. I decided to relax and dry off before i went home to grandmas. At that time, an older woman came over to me and asked me if I wanted to receive Jesus into my life and, well I said what do i have to do, and she responded: all you have to do is say that you receive him. So i said, Ok i receive him. Who "him" was, i had no idea, what "him" did, i knew not and why "him" was to be received-lets just say i was completely ignorant to. I grew up with general revelation of God but no spiritual revelat...
