Broke but not poor

October 1, 2018

Good Morning, what a great day already!  I woke up at 3:00AM thanking God for all of the blessings and most of all the peace that I have in a “broke”state.  I am officially “broke” but not poor, I found out this weekend at the Shaklee “Seize the Future” Seminar in North Carolina, that “broke” means you are just out of money and “poor” means you are out of everything.  I am not poor because I have everything I need, maybe not everything I want, but everything I need.  In that state I am happy, fulfilled, joyful, grateful, content, and thankful to God for an abundant life of family, adopted family, friends, health and beautiful weather!  Autumn is here, my favorite time of the year!  I love the crisp cool nights the nice warms days, with no humidity, and no bugs!  Woopee!

I traveled with the Chestons on Saturday to Chapel Hill, NC. I was able to help with the gas because my Sister had sent a fuel gift card for my Birthday and I made Cucumber and tomato sandwiches.  Do you remember them?  Wow, fresh home grown tomatoes and cucumbers on whole wheat bread with mayo.  Mmmm good!  I also made a new creation for a snack for the trip. I had some peanut butter, apricot preserves that were sugar free, sugar free dry roasted peanuts, and Shaklee Life Plan Protein.  I mixed all that together in a bowl, (I could have rolled the mix into “protein balls”), but I had one large soft spinach tortilla.  Thinking it would keep us from getting our hands gooey, I decided to do the wrap. So, I spread the mix on the tortilla, rolled it up, cut the roll into one inch slices, Walah! A delicious, protein packed, nutritionally balanced, filling healthy snack.  I froze them so I could grab them and take them with us. I also had popped some popcorn for snacking on the trip, and took some Shaklee meal bars. 

I woke up at 3:18 AM Saturday, drove my car to the Walmart (about 20 miles), met them there, left my car and we started our 4.5 hour trip, leaving the area at around 6 AM, did not need to stop for Breakfast, and arrived at the Seminar just as it started. We left as soon as it was over and stopped to eat and the Cheston’s treated me. They are so special! We arrived back at Walmart at about 8 PM and I got gas with my last $5 thinking I would have enough to get to Church and back. Then I realized I had an appointment on Wednesday and I needed to drive to Upper Marlboro (44 miles each way). So I didn’t go to Church but I live streamed and it was amazing, I love my Church, I am sooo taught the Word of God. The message was “A Call to Righteousness”. (www.fthcm.org).

The seminar in NC, was confirmation of things I knew and Information on things I didn’t. In relationship to my last blog, Dr. Daggy (head of Research and Development at Shaklee Corp) spoke of the need for Supplements because we don’t eat right and even if we did, the nutrients are no longer in the foods that we eat today (Did you know that farm raised Salmon has half the Omega3, because they eat what they are fed?).   

Dr. Daggy mentioned how the people who regulate farming and food production have the following  criteria they are concerned with:

1. High Yield, more produce per acre. (There is only so much nutrition in the soil, doubling the production means less nutrition in the produce.
2. Pest Control (Pesticides)
3. Weed Control (Herbacides)
4. Frost Control
5. Drought Control
6. Ease of Machinery use
7. Transportable (will it travel long distances well?)
8. Long storage {preservatives)
9. Appearance in the store

Did you wonder what GMO’s are? It means Genetically Modified, modifying plants and animals to be “superior” in different ways.

Notice what is not on the list: NEUTRIENT VALUE! 

BEWARE: When Greed and profit are the motivating factors, (that applies to anything). The adversary wants us to be focused on things and systems of this world, not the way God intended things to be.

Self check:  Are we caught up in the systems of this world?  Have we forgotten God’s plan for our lives? Are we too captured by the “system” that we make the choice of:

Convenience over Health?

Work, greed, ”getting ahead”, over God’s plan?

The World’s system over God’s system?

Do we even know God’s system?

One of the quotes Dr. Daggy gave:

 “Medical Science has made such progress, that there are hardly any healthy people left.”

 Who is managing your health?  Are you waiting for a total breakdown of your health, to put your life in the hands of profit based Insurance Companies that create the “Medical System”?  The Doctors get very little Nutritional information in school, but lots of drug knowledge. (I just ask “Dr. Google and learned that there are 141 Medical Schools in the USA, only 28 have required Nutrition courses for their Degree program).

What they didn’t get in school, regarding Prescription Medications and “Protocol”, the “Drug Dealers” (Pharmaceutical Reps), will teach them at their “Drug lunches”, (Free lunches in their office).  What they give or prescribe to you is “controlled” by protocol of the Medical system. (If you have this…take this.)   

Ask your Doctor how much training they have had in Nutrition?  Also ask them if they take Vitamins. I ask my Doctors because I want to know where they are coming from.  The male Doctors say, “Whatever my wife gives me.” And most of the female Doctors said Centrum C, or another synthetic Multivitamin. ( Our cells don’t eat synthetics, they just react to them).

Dr. Shaklee said,” The Medical field is interested in treating disease, I’m interested in building health.”

Another blessing I received was a Shaklee water filter, for my Shaklee water pitcher.  I had forgotten to order a new filter and the Chestons brought one with them for me.  I was having to buy water to drink and now with the filter, I can make eighty gallons of purified water (without lead and other contaminants) just from the water coming into my RV from the park, with just the one filter.  Wow, what a blessing! They accepted one of the Shaklee gifts I got from the drawing, that I won, in exchange for it.  Isn’t God good?
