well that wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be! The hard part is ALL the paperwork we need to fill out now!! wow!!!! there is sooo much! where do we even begin! Our classes are on Dec 3rd and 10th! We sure do have alot to do! I am so excited to start this journey! :)

Intake interview

2011-11-09T07:32:00.002-05:00

This morning I am up bright and early.Today we are going to meet with the social worker so she can do an intake interview.pretty much means interview me and Matt on why we want to adopt ,how we meet what treatments we did and fingerprints. I'm not really sure what to expect today, a little part of me keeps telling me its not fair why do I have to go threw all these hoops and have every personal part of our life picked apart just to have a family when most people just get pregnant right away even ones who are addicted to drugs or other things. I remind myself of a book my sister gave me , Choosing Gratitude! being Thankful in every part of my life even the hard trials.So today instead of going here feeling angery that I have to go threw this,I am going to feel Thankful that the Lord has opened this door.

heard this today!

2011-10-10T18:05:00.002-04:00

I believe God wanted me to read this today. " When I Don't get what I want , I remember there's a Bigger picture and Bigger Storyline! I Go to God First and Trust in Him! Sometimes God puts things in our Path at the perfect momement! :)

It's been awhile!

2011-09-08T15:35:00.003-04:00

Cancer facts

2009-08-05T12:55:00.003-04:00
Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge

I wanted to share with you a few facts ! my research comes from books and lots of investigating on the internate and Roxann ,my bosses wife who spends countless hours researching! I feel I need to pass the information on .and you can make your own desicions!

Compounds in Prcessed foods that can cause cancer:

TransFatty acids : imitation fats in SHORTING,MARGARINES,and most COMMERCIAL BAKED GOODS and SNACK foods. STRONGLY associated with cancer of the lungs and reproductive organs.

Rancid Fats: Industrial processing creates rancidity (free radicals) in commercial VEGTABLE OILS

Omega-6 FATTY ACIDS: although needed in small amounts ,an excess can contribute to cancer, Dangerously high levels of this is caused by over use of vegtable oils.

MSG: associated with brain cancer.Found in almost ALL PROCESSED FOODS,EVEN WHEN MSG DOES NOT APPEAR ON THE LABEL!!!! flavoring, spice mixes,and hydrolyzed proein contain MSG.

ASPARTAME: associated with brain cancer and many other health issues

PESTICIDES: associated with many types of cancer founf in vegtable oils , Fruit juices,vegtables and fruits! Another reason to buy organic

HORMONES: animals raised in confinment on soy and grains.Plant based hormones are plentiful in soy foods! Fact babies fed formula have 5 times higher estrogen than babies fed mothers milk!

Artificial flavoring: all types of cancers are caused by this one! STAY AWAY FROM JUNK FOOD!!!

Refined Carbohydrates: SUGAR , HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP (also know to have mercury in it) and white flour are devoid of nutrients.THE BODY USES UP NUTRIENTS FROM OTHER FOODS TO PROCESS REFINED CARBOHYDRATES. tumar growth is associated with sugar consumption!

I plan to post some vitamin esstials on friday! That will be my main focus! Hope everyone has a wonderful day!

Change is Good!

2009-08-04T19:48:00.002-04:00
Hello everyone! It's been 7 months since my last post! Way too long! So much has happened during that time ! I wouldn't even know where to begin ! The first thing that comes to my mind is GOD and the second is HEALTH! I'm relizing those are the things important to me now! I decided I'm going to try to post more useful information! Things that are spiratually uplifiting because we all need that everyday! and also things that are useful and benifitial to our health ! The majority of people have no clue the harmful everyday things in our life, like toothpaste for example ! Or things that are good like Raw milk! So you just rolled your eyes? Don't worry I'll make a beliver out of you yet!I plan on getting some information toghter and posting it for you within the next few days! (hopefully) ;) Hope everyone is doing good!
