Back home again in Colonial Beach, VA.
My "ducks" are getting back in the area, but not all lined up yet. I have my home (RV) back, my car back, and one computer back. My Liver is still being held hostage by the Insurance Company's but I have made a little progress, but that "duck" is not lined up yet.
Life is such an adventure when you are going with God, and you don't need to know where you are going until He lets you know. I'm alright with that, because I know He loves me, has my best interest at heart, protects me, provides for me, heals me. works everything together for my good, and knows the future, WOW, what a deal! He also said that, "no weapon formed against thee (me) shall prosper..." Isaiah 54:17 OK, so what is there to worry or fret about? This life is His deal, God created the Earth with everything in it I need. He created me for His purpose, He knows me better that I do, He only asks that I serve him, be obedient and love Him and others, He sent His only Son, Jesus to die in payment for my sins so I can have eternal life with Him when I am finished doing His work on this Earth. My job is to Flourish to the Finish (Grow luxuriantly, thrive, succeed, and be an example and influence for the next generations and beyond,) If you don't have clarity on what God has for you to do yet, you can't go wrong "Flourishing to the finish". So I give you permission to work my job with me until you get clarity.😊
I heard a portion of "60 Minutes" the other day and it impacted me highly. It was about the Hurricanes and how the Netherlands deal with storms. If you didn't see it, it was about this guy who was like an Ambassador for water management. He was going around to the places that have had hurricane damage, and preaching the "gospel of prevention" instead of "reaction". Basically, 90% of the Netherlands is below sea level and since they put in place their "water & storm management systems", they have had no storm damage and no one in the country has flood insurance. They used to have lots of damage because of storms and now they don't. OK, why? Because the spent a lot of money before the storms, that they knew were coming one day, to prevent the damage when they came.
We in the USA spend billions more money on each storm in the "clean up" process, not to mention loss of life. In other words, we are very prepared to react to the storms but not willing to sacrifice in advance to prevent the damage of future storms that we know will come. It is a MINDSET!
The same is true of other things like health and the environment. We are willing to go broke as a Nation caring for the sick, elderly and obese than educating and teaching prevention and a healthy lifestyle. We would rather alter the food supply with grease, sugar, salt, chemicals and synthetic additives, preservatives, to make things taste good and look good, and for convenience, shelf life, instant gratification, etc... than take the extra time, effort and preparation, to do it right. We would rather take (sometimes harmful and always with a side effect) medications to take away the symptoms rather than prevent the high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and obesity in the first place.
Have we forgotten how God made our bodies with only cells, and they only eat FOOD, (Vitamins, Protein, Minerals, Carbohydrates and Fats)? Our cells reproduce after their kind, either good kind or bad kind, depending on what WE FEED THEM. When we give our cells what they eat and thrive on, (healthy unaltered food), they are equipped and designed to heal and keep themselves well. Well, when we feed our cells, altered food, with additives, preservatives, hormones, GMO's etc..., foods that are grown on depleted soil...those cells will reproduce weak, unhealthy cells, unable to fight disease and sustain a healthy life.. On top of that, we breath chemical laden air, and drink polluted, chemical-ized water, and wonder why we are sick (the USA is ranked 37th in World health and #1 in health care expense per capita). EVERYTHING THAT WE FEED OUR CELLS, THAT IS NOT FOOD, CAUSES THE CELLS TO REACT( that is why Medicine works, when it does, and why it always has side effects.) The cells then use up the nutrients meant to build health, to fight off the non food (even synthetic Vitamins)... MINDSET! We are too spoiled, weak or sick to make the sacrifice to eat the way God intended us to eat. Even if we did, the nutrition is no longer in the food supply the way God intended, it has been altered. We are living longer, sicker and we seem to be surprised when it appears in our lives.
So, what do we do? Well, what I do is eat Vegan and take clinically proven Shaklee Food Supplements, use Shaklee biodegradable non-polluting cleaning products and Shaklee's Natural healthy skin care without the harmful chemicals! The Shaklee population has been proven (in a 20 year Clinical Landmark Study) to be markedly healthier than the general population and even those who took other supplements.
I am 76 and on no medication, feel good, no aches, no pains, in my right mind, and good memory and focus, my face has "baby" skin and all of my blood work is normal. (I just have this liver thing that gives me no trouble.) The cool thing is, I used to have aches, pains, high blood pressure, a stroke, high cholesterol, high triglycerides, precancerous lesions in my colon, PMS issues, arthritis, sinus issues, etc... when I was younger. So I don't wish to be younger, I like my health!
I believe, if we do it God's way, our health can and will improve. After 44 years of using the Shaklee Products I know I am healthier than I was 44 years ago and I feel better too. Every Shaklee product is guaranteed so if you don't get the results you are looking for, you will get your money back.
I am happy to be your "guinea pig", so you know that the INTEGRITY of the Shaklee products is real and I believe, as close to the real thing (Nature) as we can get on the market today, they are designed that way.
So, I also give you permission to treat your body well, it is the only one you will have, and it has to house you (the real you) until you leave it here and move on...either up or down-your choice.
I am so convinced that I have been given a wonderful gift of health in a Country and World that is against it! My desire is that all of you will take this opportunity to at least try the Shaklee Products, and if you don't feel better in 30 days or less, you can send (even the empty container back) for a full refund.
If you call or text me,(301-580-2824) I can send you (via email or text) a health assessment (HealthPrint) that will guide you in what to try, for your own health. You can also go on my website: www.healthierlife-4U.myshaklee.com
You have heard my heart today, I have to share my passion. Love you all so much and thank you for hearing my heart, I really want you to have Jesus and Health (in that order).

September 18, 2018
WOW1 Only 4 days since I blogged! I just had to tell you about my Birthday week. It was awesome. I was still in Waldorf, parked in my RV at Kevin & Sina's house(my best friend Ronnie's son and wife). Monday I was picked up by my friend Sarah and her husband and they took me back to their house. The next day Sarah and I went to Baltimore to do an all day evaluation for her Kidney transplant. My Birthday started when Sarah took me to lunch at Timbuktoo's ( a great crab cake place). We didn't have crab cakes but had a wonderful salad and baked potato and fellowship (I'm still vegan).
That evening, I went to Bible Study and caught a ride back to the RV with my first adopted family. The next day I was getting ready to take the RV out to get some supplies I needed for some centerpieces I was making and it wouldn't start I called Roadside assistance and they gave me a jump. After I got the supplies and returned I wanted to get closer to the electric outlet and ended up backing over the elec. cord and pulling it out of the RV! Just 3 bare wires on the end of the cord. This meant no electric and no generator (or air conditioning, phone charger, microwave, fan etc...). Kevin came home just after it happened and discovered it. He offered to fix it and at 9 o'clock at night with a flashlight, he repaired it so I had electric (I didn't even have to go outside)! Praise the Lord and thank you Kevin!
Thursday the Murray;s came and picked me up for lunch at the Silver Diner. They gave me a beautiful card and a scripture wall calendar with awesome scenic pictures. I adopted our waiter and all of the wait staff came to sing "Happy Birthday" over my bowl of fruit. One young lady asked me what my name was so they could sing, I told her "Grandma Swann" and that I was up for adoption. She came over and hugged me saying "you can't have too many Grandmas" (My sentiments exactly!)
Friday, on my Birthday, I just did my blog and chilled (I didn't even get dressed). Lots of friends and family called or sent texts, it was wonderful.
Saturday morning my Daughter picked me up and we drove to Alexandria to treat me to breakfast with Everett at the American Steak and Buffet. After a great meal and fellowship, the wait staff sang "Happy Birthday" over a piece of cheese cake with a make-shift straw "candle", I rigged up, with a piece of lemon as the flame. Confession: I took a few bites of the cheese cake😔.
After Breakfast, LaVonne asked me if I wanted to go "Uber Eats" delivering with her. It was fun and I learned how it works. People go on the Uber Eats app and order the food, an Ubre Eats dilivery person (can be in car, or foot, bicycle, etc) that is in the area and on line, gets the name of the restaurant and directions. They pick up the food and deliver it to the customers. Cool and convenient! The customer pays for the food and tip through the app., they can see the driver, and when they come...all from the app.. The customer and driver and restaurant are all reviewed by each other, to keep each other straight. It was fun.
Then LaVonne dropped me off at the nail salon where I had adopted a Vietnamese Grandson. Sarah had been to the Salon earlier and we usually go together. My Grandson said to her, "Where is my Grandmother, I miss my Grandmother." Sarah told me what he said, and I texted him and told him I missed him too and that I would be by to get my nails done. He did a beautiful job on my nails and then LaVonne was going to pick me up, but Long said he would take me back to the RV. He let me get a chair massage while I was waiting. Awesome!
He brought me back and I had him sit in the drivers seat, he said "you need license to drive, My Grandmother?" I told him just a regular license. He was impressed.
I still don't have my car back yet, so I wasn't able to get to church, I streamed (www.fthcm.org).
After church my first adopted family came by the RV and brought me a wonderful card and gave me a gift card for Red Lobster. They are so special!
After they left,Tyrone & Tony, two of my Grandmen-sons came by with Steve, a Grandman I hadn't met yet, who I adopted. They brought flowers, juice, chips and a cake with Happy Birthday Grandma on it. I had made taco soup and salad and we had the best fellowship! I was especially impressed because they chose to hang out with their Grandma on a football Sunday!
Monday I headed out for Colonial Beach. Well, I started to head out. Again the RV wouldn't start, just clicked. I called roadside assistance again and they gave me another jump. Then I headed out and I turned the radio on and they was a tornado warning for Waldorf (the town I was just leaving). I was heading South, so I kept on going. (I didn't hear of any tornado touch downs.) I crossed the "Nice" bridge, which is not so nice (two lanes, narrow and high and long with tractor-trailers coming at you). The first day I had the RV I had to drive it, and I learned that you STAY IN YOUR LANE AND TRUST GOD! That works and that'll PREACH!
After crossing the bridge, I stopped for gas (it is 35 cents per gal. cheaper in Virginia) and turned the engine off. YES I TURNED IT OFF! Of course, I couldn't get it started again, so I had to call Roadside assistance again. So it took awhile to get to Colonial Beach and I had planned to stop to get groceries and supplies before I got to the RV Park...but it was already dusk, so I skipped Walmart and went on. I got in too late to hook up everything, so I just hooked up the electric. I really needed to empty the tanks, oh well.
I had a wonderful nights sleep and I went out this morning to hook up and it started to rain,(it wasn't supposed to rain) so I decided to wait until it stopped. Then my "go-to-RV-guy" and his son showed up this afternoon, and in the rain, fixed my electric, found the problem with the RV not starting (corroded terminals) and fixed it and hooked me up to sewage, and water and dumped the tanks. Wow, what a blessing, and again I didn't even have to get out of the RV! Awesome God!, Awesome AJ & Joe of Northern Neck RV Repair (804-873-8754) they are honest, fair priced and know everything RV and automotive, and will come to you (within a reasonable distance, but not over the "Nice" bridge)! 😉
I guess that is about it, I feel very loved and cared for. First by God, and then by my wonderful family. Thank you for my memorable Birthday!

Then my "go-to-RV-guy" and his son showed up this afternoon, and in the rain, fixed my electric, found the problem with the RV not starting (corroded terminals) and fixed it and hooked me up to sewage, and water and dumped the tanks. Wow, what a blessing, and again I didn't even have to get out of the RV! Awesome God!, Awesome AJ & Joe of Northern Neck RV Repair (804-873-8754) they are honest, fair priced and know everything RV and automotive, and will come to you (within a reasonable distance, but not over the "Nice" bridge)! 😉
I guess that is about it, I feel very loved and cared for. First by God, and then by my wonderful family. Thank you for my memorable Birthday!

Happy 76th Birthday to me!
I am getting better, this is 14 days since I blogged last. If I keep cutting the time by half, I will soon be on target and my blogs may get shorter (don't count on it).😁
Well, I feel the need to give you a "STATE OF GRANDMA SWANN" address;
At 76 I feel 40, I just had a blood test, EVERYTHING IS NORMAL.
I am in no pain, I just lost 10 lbs, I have been Vegan for a year and a half.
My skin on my face has less wrinkles and is soft and like baby skin.
I am alert, excited and my memory and focus is better than even last year.
I am looking forward to the future, am excited about what God has in store for me!
My Motor Home is my home, and I am free to go wherever the Lord leads me.
I have traveled all 50 states, 8 foreign countries, and 15 states in my current RV home
The Lord has blessed me with a Step Daughter, 1. Step-Daughter-in-Law, 4 Step Grand Children, 3 Step-Granddaughters-In-Law, 3 Step Great-Grandchildren, and 253 adopted Grand Children and counting. I love them all individually and pray for them daily.
I went Parasailing on my 70th Birthday, Hang Gliding on my 74th and plan some other stuff.
I have attended From the Heart Church Ministries for 33 years, I have learned so much and deepened my relationship with the Lord from the teachings.( www.fthcm.org or official fthcm youtube channel.)
I trust God to protect, provide, heal, have my best interest at heart, love me, and know the future. and He has not, nor will not,fail me, and as a result, I have PEACE and NO STRESS!!! (priceless!)
I am on no Medication, I believe because I have been consuming natural (better than organic) Shaklee products for 44 years. I have had High Blood Pressure, High Cholesterol, Cataracts, Stroke, Precancerous Lesions in my Colon, and a major operation last year to remove a simple Cyst (water balloon) in my liver. The ONLY thing I am dealing with now is that the Liver Cyst has grown back to half the size. The last medication to go, was for High Blood Pressure, I haven't needed it for over two years.
I have a successful Shaklee business that has paid me every month (whether I worked it or not) , since 1974. Both my husband and I were full-time since 1976, except for 2 ,six year periods, while pursuing our Ministries (but we still got paid every month from Shaklee). I have been blessed to walk the stage at the Shaklee conventions as having earned over a Million Dollars. We have earned free Vacations every year for many years, and 11 Bonus cars.
If you would like to know how to earn while you help others to better health, (and while you sleep), and be a business owner, with all the freedom and tax benefits, contact me and you can see if it is a fit for you. If you would like a free health assessment, go to my website: www.healthierlife-4U.MyShaklee.com, and click on "Health Print". It takes about 5 Minutes to complete. Free Membership is available too.
Thank you for the calls, songs and blessings for my Birthday. I am so blessed to have you in my life!
I love my life and I love you!

Wow, just a little over a month since I blogged, I am doing better, there is hope for me yet! Well, my "ducks" seem to fly around up in the air a lot, but always land and get in line at exactly the right time. I'm getting it..."All things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose." Rom. 8:28
Again, life is soooo eventful! I must (and I do) trust God, because other stuff doesn't always look or seem good at the time, and I never know until things "work together", and then... Praise the Lord! If I didn't trust God, I would be worried and stressed out all the time. As it is, I have no stress and I don't have to worry. I love my life. enjoy my 250+ adoptees, (some of you, probably just got stressed for me😄). I found the smiley faces!!woopee!
I got one of my computers back, Praise the Lord! I learned that I can live without one, Jesus managed to get His message out without one, and He left us with His Holy Spirit, we haven't even begun to tap His power!
My adopted grandson, Joseph, from Chicago, (I met him 2 years ago in Palm Desert, CA) went home to be with the Lord Jesus, last Saturday. We had just spent a wonderful week together while attending the Shaklee Conference in Las Vegas. We stayed in a 2 room cabin in the RV park which had all the amenities of a Hotel, including a pool and hot tub. He cooked some veggies on the grill, and we had good veggie fajitas for two dinners.
After the Conference was over, which he enjoyed very much, we drove to Zion National Park and loved all of the beautiful scenery. There was a new breathtaking view every 10 seconds or so, we both took a lot of pictures, he loved God's creation. We spent the day driving, stopping, taking pictures, expressing "oohs and aahs" to each other along the way. I will miss him greatly, he had such a sweet spirit.
He is no longer struggling with his addiction to heroin. He had accepted Jesus as his Lord and Savior, so I will see him when I am finished , it has given me a greater zeal to seek and save the lost. He taught me so much about "judging" based on appearance, (tattoos, etc..), And to love those "missing their behavior", and helped me to see how God sees them. He had his BS degree and loved animals, all animals, and had lizards and a hedgehog as pets. He was very articulate and a good writer. He told me he was writing a book about his journey with drugs so others might not go down that path. I still remember all the good talks we had, he had such a good heart and cared for others and was so helpful.
The impact of his life is not over, and my prayer is that those who read this, even if you didn't have the joy of knowing him personally, will catch on fire to save those who don't know the devastation of the consequences of bad choices.
I have my house back!(for those not following, I totaled my RV). My RV passed inspection, was re-titled and I got my tags renewed the last day before they expired! Praise the Lord! It looks awesome! They painted it all, including the stripes and it looks brand new! I still don't have my car back yet, but he is still working on it. When it is finished, he said is would run for another 100,000 miles.
The insurance companies are still holding my liver hostage until they figure out who is going to pay for the MRI. I turned in the hearing aids I bought on the last day I could return them and get my money back, and I already got my money back. I found out that my current Medical Insurance will pay $750.00 towards new ones that are not just amplifiers (which that one one was), that the Doctor said would ruin my hearing). I will be able to get them for both ears for $1,250. My insurance will also cover dental and eyes, so I will be making some appointments while I am still here.
The annual stay in Colonial Beach RV Park, (that I paid for last year, and didn't use), was extended to this year. I didn't use it this year, so they graciously extended it to next year. (Praise the Lord!) I can still stay for 21 days, out a week, and back in again for 21 days until they close in November. Waiting on God's plan for my life, only His plan works (I just usually don't know what it is except on a need to know basis.
After getting my tags yesterday, Kevin and Sina are allowing me to stay in their yard in Waldorf, MD, hooked up to water and elec. for the weekend. I blew the circuit when I turned on the air conditioner and I had to use the fans, which let me know I can live without the air conditioner, although I'm not that excited about it at 90 degrees.. I will be picked up by my Host's to go back in their car for Church tomorrow.
Have a Blessed safe Labor Day Weekend!
