This page was started, as a place to help people find "healing" with herbs. I have stepped back from spreading the "gospel" of herbal medicine, because I had made it my religion and my idol.
A year ago God began whispering to me about minimizing my time on social media. I had been very active on this page, Youtube and Instagram, posting, posting, posting about herbs and remedies.
I started to attend church regularly, last year, after many years of not attending. I began turning back to the Lord, and cut out some New Age Healing modalities, that had trickled into my business and practice. If we do not take a firm stand with the Lord, it is so easy to get enticed back to what the world says.
This past February- I had a life altering, forever changing experience, in which I needed emergency surgery to remove a bowel obstruction. I have shared part of this story, but not all of it. I actually do not share a lot of personal things here on social media, but I feel like the Lord has been nudging me to share this and I really do not want to. I do so to give Him the glory and to encourage any lukewarm Christians out there to make a decision on whom you will serve, today.
I had a 5 inch piece of my intestine removed; I had a growth that was considered stage 2 cancer. (I hate that word, and I will explain how I see this word in a minute). I was told previous to surgery that I would probably need a temporary colostomy bag, because my intestines where swollen, inflamed and it would not be safe to stich everything back together.
I prayed for a miracle. I prayed I would not need the colostomy. When I woke up in the operating room, back in Februrary, I soon learned, that I had indeed had a colostomy bag.
This devastated me. I did not know how I could live with this. My doctor told me that it would be temporary and reversed in a few weeks, and I held on to that promise.
God spoke to me about the cancer, and I was not worried about that at all. He showed me I was harboring bitterness and unforgiveness, even hatred- and He supernaturally removed that from my heart. I felt the Lord telling me that if I would walk in forgiveness, I was healed of cancer returning. (As a side note- I studied the spiritual root of cancer over the months of healing and in all cases there is an element of bitterness, and also self abandonment. There are other factors, but these two aspects really affect a person's health).
I believed God's healing promise and every night I pray the Lord's prayer asking forgiveness, and forgiving those who have hurt me. (And I mean it).
The part of the story I did not want to share, was the colostomy. After leaving the hospital- I soon learned, I needed to wait 3 months to have it reversed. Thank God I could have it reversed. Some people do not have that happen. I did not know how I would make it three months.
But I tell you, that those three months, were the most special time I have ever had with the Lord. He spoke to me daily. I was in constant prayer, and worship. I was in the word all day. Time stopped for me, for those long days and weeks. I was able to rest and recover and find comfort with Jesus.
On June 3rd this year, I went in for another major surgery and had the colostomy reversed. The recovery this time was much faster, and I was soon walking 3 miles regularly and exercising. The second recovery was more emotional for me. I cried a lot. I cried from what I had been through. The first surgery was so much, and then getting used to the colostomy bag was insane. I cried over how I had abandoned myself for years. I cried over how I abandoned my God and chased after what the world says is important.
I am now a new creature. Old things have passed away. I no longer look to herbs as my "saving" of anything. I love them and cook with them, but Jesus is what saved me, and His love healed my heart. I had to forgive and need to continue to walk in forgiveness.
I began making art again, to feed my soul and soothe myself. I can no longer operate on social media the same as I used to. Nothing seems the same to me. The world looks different. My values are different. God comes first in my life now. The most important thing to me is that my children would walk in truth.
I have been scared to share all of this, but there are others walking in truth, and they encourage me. They encourage me to share the word of God, and face possible persecution. They encourage me to step out in faith and to trust that He always provides.
I pray that someone would read this and share this and begin walking out their faith because I was willing to share what God has done in my life and heart this year... 2025. I will never forget, and I am forever marked.
I share a picture of my scars below. I can't believe what modern science is capable of. I am grateful for the help I received. Not a modest picture, but I again felt I needed to share this.
God bless
