May's Marvelous Moments
Beginning of May saw me really quite ill, so May 7, my precious husband drove me to a Health Retreat at Kin Kin, a very mountainous part of Queensland's Sunshine Coast Hinterland. Very Green! Actually a very pretty spot. At my arrival I felt so dreadful, tummy so upset, the journey had been difficult, all 4 and 1 half hours of it. There were twenty-four other Guests with two Carers accompanying two MS Suffers. After the welcoming lunch, I retreated to a couch, having serious dizzy spells. During that first afternoon I had a consultation with the Naturapath. Monday the cleansing programme started seriously for all. I realized some of the folk had really major problems. I did too, but a lot of mine had been created by entertaining negative thought processes.
By Tuesday I was so weak, I pleaded to have food rather than continue to fast.(Had been on a fast for 6 weeks previously, anyhow, because my digestive system was completely sick, could scarcely eat what a sparrow would consume). There were such incredible changes in the MS Suffers after the first three days of the cleanse. One young lady, Gabrielle, was able to discontinue using her walking stick and with chiropractic she was able to start walking up some of the mountains. During all this time I was constantly praying for my own healing as well as that of all the other participants. One young Mother, had been addicted to chocolate, yes chocolate. On her detox, she suffered three days of constant migraine headaches and vomitting. Had she not chosen to quit her life style she would have suffered Chronic Fatigue and diabetes and eventually cancer, as her body cells would have all broken down.(Caffeine in Chocolate can kill)
My progress was slow but eventually sure. My prayers were always answered. Simple prayers, just asking God to help me climb up the hill to the building in which my room was situated. After the Senior Organizer finally clicked to my need of Digestive enzymes, my tummy started to settle and become more peaceful. At the conclusion of the programme, 15th May, I was informed that Gabrielle and I had experienced the most remarkable improvements, out of the whole Group. Praise God.
The promises of God, which I claimed each day were these, "Beloved, I wish above all else that you would prosper and be in health, as thy soul prospereth" also, "We have this confidence in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He heareth us." "I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I have committed unto Him against that day." I have and had committed my Life into God's eternal care. I do nothing of any major impact withour prayer. My progress is still slow, but each day I gain a little more strength to do more house chores, maybe a little office work, and I walk thirty minutes each monring. I do not leave my bed in the morning without first seeking God's presence in my every action for that day. I am so blest to have experienced these marvelous moments during my May recovery. The Bible text that keeps me going is this:- Whoso hearkeneth to Me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.
My health failed as I had a huge fear of no recovery and the devil played on my emotions. Wow! did he play, but thank God His mercies endureth forever, and He has showered me with a multitude of His beautiful mercies. I am recovering from being what my daughter called a "Control Freak". I always needed to have every thing in order and done and after having nursed my husband for ten years who recovered from two major life threatening accidents, I was totally worn out.
God brought me down, so I would look up and listen to the still small voice which said, Be still and know that I am God, and I will save you. Bless the Lord oh my soul, and all that is within me Bless His holy Name!
