Take Advantage of Discontinued & Clearance Racks in your Healh Food Stores!

Don't sleep on your local Health Food store's discontinued and clearance rack! If it is anything like mines they keep this shelf at the very bottom, almost out of sight unless you know where it is and accidentally run across it. I was blessed to have gotten a few healing tonics for only $1.99 each and I was also able to get some Hemp Protein Powder (used mostly in my green/fruit smoothies- that's the only way I can bear the taste) for a Fraction of the normal cost!

Healing Tonics


I apologize for the quality of my camera, it is not the best but hopefully you get the gist of what is being shown. Below, I will post some of the health benefits associated with each Tonic!

Motherwort: Reduces the risk of heart attack, stroke and other diseases, prevents low blood sugar, vertigo, and headaches. If you are a mother expecting, Motherwort is excellent to promote the flow of breasts milk and has been known to reduce the risk of postpartum depression.

Calendula: Good for treating minor cuts and wounds, skin problems such as eczema and boils, it is also great at helping to fight fevers.

Red Raspberry Leaf: Has long been used by women to help ease pain during childbirth. It also helps to promote healthy skin and bone development in babies. Great to use to help alleviate or eliminate PMS symptoms in women, it can also help to relieve diarrhea.

Skullcap: Often used to eliminate anxiety accompanied with worry, insomnia and headaches. Also good for those suffering from drug and alcohol withdrawals. Traditionally, it has been used as a tranquilizer.

I will just add, it is great to stay educated on alternative medicine, healing tonics, and natural remedies but it is dangerous to think that one will be totally healed and healthy just because they rely on non-pharmaceutical medicine alone. Healing comes from God and sometimes we can put alternative medicine in the same category as pharmaceutical drugs and end up being just as dependent on them, even if they are healthier for the body, let us acknowledge who are help comes from :)

P.S. When purchasing items off of the clearance/discontinued rack *always* check the expiration date to make sure you are truly getting a bang for your buck ;)

Happy Birthday

So today I turn 24, would you believe me if I told you I was almost dreading my birthday? lol, not kidding! Not that growing older is a bad thing, it is a privilege but for some reason, it was not something I was anticipating. Maybe if things were different but besides all that I am grateful that the Lord has kept me another year, even though it has been tough, he has shown himself strong in my life, time and time again.

My family wants to bake me a cake and throw a little party but I was not in the least interested. But the Lord kind of nudged on my heart like "Stop being so prideful :)" I like when the Lord corrects us because even in his rebuke it can still be kind, at least that one was lol. So yeah, the Lord is right, I am not going to be prideful about it but enjoy whatever it is my family would like to do for me and learn to receive things from people, it is okay to do that. Anyway, I hope you all have been doing great, haven't been blogging much but all is well over this way. Ttys <3

Loving Others

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of fellowshiping with a sister in the Lord that lives quite a ways away from me, anyhow we discussed things in our life that the Lord was dealing with us about and ended the call in prayer. One thing we were both led to pray for was how to walk in love towards people how Christ loves us and this morning I was led to read some scriptures that confirmed that and it really just blessed me and filled my heart with greater joy so, this is what I read this morning....

"Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.  Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.

Whoever commits sin also commits lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness.  And you know that He was manifested to take away our sins, and in Him there is no sin. Whoever abides in Him does not sin. Whoever sins has neither seen Him nor known Him.
Little children, let no one deceive you. He who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous.  He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil. Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God.

   In this the children of God and the children of the devil are manifest: Whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is he who does not love his brother. For this is the message that you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another, not as Cain who was of the wicked one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his works were evil and his brother’s righteous.
Do not marvel, my brethren, if the world hates you. We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love his brother^[c] abides in death. Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.

By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. But whoever has this world’s goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart from him, how does the love of God abide in him? My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth. And by this we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before Him. For if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things. Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence toward God.

And whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do those things that are pleasing in His sight. And this is His commandment: that we should believe on the name. Now he who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. And by this we know that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us."- 1 John 3

Are we laying down our lives for our brothers and sisters? Maybe some of us have not been in a position where we have had to do that literally, but are we esteeming them better than ourselves? Looking our for their best interests above our own? Loving them, encouraging them to live a life pleasing to the Lord and correcting them when correction is needed? May His word continue to abide in our hearts...
