Significant Novembers...

Every day I wake I have a joyful tear that rolls down my face because I get to continue to look my son in the eyes. I am more than thankful. See this time last year, I thought I was going to be headed down the path so many I know have already taken...and we had to jump onto a rollercoaster I didn't give permission to be on. You can read about that journey starting here.

On the 2nd of November this year, Rick & I celebrated 16 years of being back together...that's another story for another day. No, not our wedding anniversary but being back in each others lives. It's also the same week a year ago that our son came to me to ask why he had a hole in his head. As I type this, my chest fills with pressure, and then I have to remember...we're not in that storm anymore. We have not only survived the storm, but we are Thriving! Only because of the precious mercy & favor of our Lord whom has given not only K (our son) a significant & remarkable recovery but us a story of how faith moves mountains. As I've went through the pictures of this last year...wow, just WOW!

We were loved on by so many people even strangers who didn't know us personally. We were allowed to "know" when the suggestions by the medical teams were not the road we were to take. Thank God, we listened. We now are on a peaceful journey of yet another hope, and by God's creation we are seeing life altering miracles daily. We are utilizing the organic compounds of what was given at the creation of the world, we will continue to do so with such fabulous results, and we are learning to love some new terminology I want to call "PMS" (Phenylpropanoids, Monoterpenes, and Sesquiterpenes).

That is because this combination offers the following:

First, you clean the receptor sites allowing the proper transfer of hormones, peptides, neurotransmitters, steroids, and other intracellular messengers. (The Phenylpropanoids do that.)

Second, you deprogram or erase the wrong information from cellular memory stored in the DNA. (The Sesquiterpenes take care of that.)

Third, you reprogram the cells with the correct information so they can function properly. (The Monoterpenes do this.)

We are headed down a new road of epigenetics: the study of heritable changes in gene expression (active versus inactive genes) that do not involve changes to the underlying DNA sequence — a change in phenotype without a change in genotype — which in turn affects how cells read the genes.

We were perfectly made...and made with a body that wants, can, and will heal itself if it's just given the "conditions" in-which to do so. Faith...comes by hearing the Word, and on that Faith we build our trust in The One that has directed us down this path of unknown, but so so full of peace.
