"Several years ago our 18 year old daughter Seanna (Sea-Anna) became very ill from a tick bite which put her life at risk. Seanna became very weak, thin, and barely able to function. This very healthy, strong amazing Proverbs 31 type daughter who had her whole life ahead of her~ could now hardly sit up, take a shower or walk. Seanna also had problems breathing. She would wake up daily between 3-5 a.m. gasping for air, struggling all day to breathe and sometimes loosing her sight. She went from doctor to doctor and to emergency rooms (into the wee hours of the morning) without any relief. I remember many nights helping Seanna to bed as she would tell me
“Mom, If I don‘t wake up tomorrow, it‘s alright, I am ready for the Lord“.
...This was our life.
The medical community could not help her. The medicines made her worse and almost accidentally killed her. We learned later that traditional doctors did not understand this disease and gave her the wrong medicine*A Neurologist who treated this illness, told us that the medicine the traditional doctors gave Seanna for her particular problem kills patients within 2 months.
"kills... patients within 2 months!"
As we cried out to God, He directed us into natural Alternative Medicine. Like any avenue of change, we needed to balance it with God’s word and glean only what was biblically sound. We were given a plan for healthy living~ resulting in great blessings and rewards for our family. Due to our daughter’s health risks, we had to eat 100% organic foods, substituting many items while cooking everything from scratch. Much time was spent praying for ways to wisely adjust all my cooking skills as I desperately tried to figure it all out. After a while, I learned to creatively make her foods that she could eat that were similar to ours, so she did not feel left out as the rest of the family ate meals we enjoyed (though organic too). Example: Seanna's could not have tomatoes or cheese at that time besides a long list of other things. I had come up with delicious alternatives so she could have the same menu when we ate pizza, spaghetti, chili etc…. If someone asks me now how I did it, I just remember it was God's Spirit teaching me, for I cooked as the Lord lead me without recipes but by feel and not memory. Many substitutes were inspired. Never could have dreamed them up myself.
My greatest challenge along with the above was in preparing for a Vision Forum Father/Daughter retreat my husband and daughter wanted to go to. Though Seanna was stronger physically by then, I still had to plan and cook all the organic meals ahead of time to take in coolers as she would be traveling by car and staying in hotels. My husband and daughter were to stay at a hotel for the entire event. God gave me creative foods for all her meals, alternative organic sugar free ice cream for a BBQ and even a special natural dessert without sugar for the High Tea that they were having-so she could participate. At that time she couldn't even eat some of the boxed, frozen, canned organic foods. I could not use regular recipes as she would have serious breathing problems and food had to be cooked from scratch with many substitutes. Permission was even granted from the hotel to allow our daughter to eat her meals at their banquet with their nice dishes, so she could still participate and hear the speakers. It was a real joy for her to finally participate in something special after being mostly in bed for over a year. Seanna said all the meals were so delicious. P.T.L.!!
If I had not had a lot of practice making home cooked meals already, I would have had a serious problems adjusting including risking serious breathing episodes if my daughter ate the wrong foods. God's loving guidance, good Alternative Medicine along with home cooked organic food worked together in her healing. Now she is 21 years old and tests results from her original diagnosis, state she is completely healed!
Her doctors in Texas call her "A Walking Miracle".
*Many who know Seanna can attest that she is now very active and healthy as can be. The past year she was skiing, sailing, iceskating, playing tennis, intensive Proverbs 31~training in Texas and in ongoing Alternative Medicine with her family in Mexico including hiking many mountains. Seanna is currently in Oregon ministering as she applies the lessons she learned in Alternative Medicine to her Grandmother who is suffering from Cancer.
If anyone needs encouragement that wholesome home cooked meals along with good Alternative Medicine works- you can recommend this blog and our family to them if they would like to contact us.
Seanna is now living life to the fullest, with much humor. We haven't thrown what we have learned away and still try to be careful. Though Seanna can eat anything now, we still lean towards organic as much as possible as we have learned that the chemicals are detrimental to our health. Even the best fruits, vegetables are sprayed and have genetically modifications causing diseases and lowered immune systems. We women need to educate ourselves and go back to becoming gleaners of good things. We need to learn wise ways to save on these alternatives foods, become sensitive to Christ’s menu plan for “Our particular family” and be creative within our kitchen‘s.
We do not realize that there is more here at stake then "Steak"!
You will save your family 10's of thousands and perhaps 100's of thousands of dollars in health care. You will minister longer lives and healing to your children and children's, children while giving additional protection to the generations. Health conscientious home cooked meals do make a difference, along with educating our families in God designed living; we can pass these skills on to our daughters as they become excellent women of faith".
She is like the merchants' ships; she bringeth her food from afar. She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens. Proverbs 31:14-15
