Come unto Christ. 💖 Consider the first words his prophet, President Nelson, said in April 2020: 1) Even bigger trials than Covid-19 are happening and will happen; 2) It is “crucial” to prepare temporally and spiritually; 3) Prepare to meet Christ. Repent! 4) Stand in holy places and “be not moved”. https://www.instagram.com/p/CC02DURhW2N/?igshid=1vwz87rlj7iei
Letter to my mentor
Thanks for helping me today Kristen. My experience with magnesium, and mentorship in general, has brought up patterns I am grateful to work through. I took a break from mentorship when I was in the hospital and recovering the first time. I don't want to do that again...but it really doesn't make me happy. I force myself to participate because I want to learn, I want to be healthy, and I am not a quitter.
My intention this year, and for this mentorship, was to get to the root of my autoimmune issues and heal. Soaking in magnesium is what created toxicity in my legs, which triggered an autoimmune response of ulcers forming in my legs, which then became infected, etc. I didn't know it was so powerful and would not have been gung ho on it. Yet, I accept responsibility for my experience. I am a creator and created this at this exact time! I am grateful to know the lie: "I try hard and fail"!! It has brought up so much bitterness and anger which is how I feel about myself and my mortal experience. I forgive and love myself, God, and others. I succeed with ease and grace! Will my subconscious accept it? I want to soak a little, just a little. Yet I may have an allergic, autoimmune response to magnesium's energy signature, mostly for emotional reasons. How can I clear that? How can I soak a little with hope instead of fear?
Mentorship is so funky. Can you help me see what the pattern is in it? I want to learn so be your honest self. I really want to continue and finish the year. I feel there are so many things that are unrealistic for me yet are conditional on me receiving more, receiving health. Yet I cannot. It's the double standard I've lived with for so long because of the autoimmune response. Magnesium is the perfect example. I know it is good yet I cannot receive it. Bitterness. I know it is the foundation of health yet when I receive it, pain. When I see how much I need it to heal this wound and my body, anger. When I contemplate if I am ready to receive it, even a little, fear. I brought this up today in mentorship because I don't know what to do with it. I want to see yet feel stuck. I want to ACT and not be acted upon.
I have not gotten my Magnesium RBC because the labs are at least an hour from me and I cannot drive that far. I have been in bed for 3 months practically. Again, in order to receive from this mentorship and be important enough to have time with you, a knowledgable, compassionate, successful mentor who I have invested a lot in, I have to perform yet cannot perform and therefore cannot receive. But no excuses, because I have not done temperature or water tracking. Instead, I have invested my energy in other ways that were more important.
What brings me the most peace through all this is to let go of expectations, especially others' expectations, love myself and be grateful for the health I have, laugh instead of cry, and love myself and others in my/our weakness. It has brought me closer to myself, to the Lord, to my family, and many others. I don't feel like mentorship gives this to me but pulls me away from it. I am not sure why...but it has to do with the pattern I described above. Where is the connection, to others, myself, or God in it? Maybe its how I micromanage my health as you encourage, taking specific supplements and being so strict in my food, soaking, and other things, and doing too much that it's overwhelming my system, on every level. I feel like I just need to BE and trust, to love and let go of mine and others' expectations, including yours.
I hope you understand but if you do not, that is OK. I would like insights if you have them but again, I understand if you don't.
Thanks for everything. You have taught me a lot. I hope and pray you and your family are well, especially with your Mom. My heart goes out to you.
Love,Wendy
Faith to be Healed
I told Ben Sunday I wouldn't mind dying. :( I have tried SO hard for over 3 months, being so good with diet, sleep, etc. And to be in MORE pain then when I started this healing journey. But I repented and sought out God, who gave me hope. I needed to bear the testimony that was given to me, helping me to retain it. The best I could do was a facebook post. Ionic soaking yesterday (yuck!!) helped; I woke up with a 25 percent reduction of the horrible myalgia, arthritic, and kidney pain though it was still almost impossible to sleep. Dr Patten ran lots of tests yesterday but it is a mystery to him. It was still almost impossible to stand up straight and impossible to bend over to pick something up. (I don't do well at all on pain meds...makes it worse putting a load on my already compromised liver.) I kept getting the feeling it is a toxicity issue. So I have been soaking in epsom salts, redmond clay, essential oils, magnesium oil, and ginger powder every other day and getting light massages/lymph drains every 2 weeks. I would notice a small benefit but the debilitating pain kept building with the kidneys hurting the last 5 days. I had an ionic soak last Tuesday which helped for a few days. So I bought a used machine off ebay and soaked on Monday. Again, it helped but not to the degree it has before. And look at ALL that yuck! My girls said, "That was in you?!" Yup, heavy metals, candida, ect. This I think my body (mainly liver) was unable to process and get rid of toxins so it built up in my body, like a swamp, and overwhelmed my kidneys
“Detoxing is a blessing! It happens concurrently at the physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and energetic levels. I detox regularly (daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly, ect) with joy and gladness!
Times in the past my body had emergency detox situations where I was detoxing too hard and fast. It could have gone to debilitating lengths or cancer or death but didn’t! If I didn’t detox as I have, I wouldn’t have learned of its importance or developed the discipline.
I embrace the opportunities to detox, while praying or hugging, with good food and yoga, ect. I will use the resources I have for cleanses as well as juicing and fasting from "closing” foods (like natural yeast baked goods, meat, and goat milk).“
Daily: while laying down, connecting, on toilet, showering, serving, being creative, Mg or ionic soak, etc. Weekly: on Sunday, resting, church, and FHE Monthly: starting on fast Sunday, juice cleanse the next day, and fasting from above foods, foot zone/massage Every 3 months: reboot or tincture cleanse, 3 day juicing fast/cleanse, and 2 weeks fast from above foods, hot springs soak, 24 hours alone Yearly: same as above but fast from above foods for 6 weeks, trip somewhere relaxing/spa-like
Hardening, Heartening
Please God, fill me with desire to live. “Awake and arise*, hear the voice within.”
Gears have slowed with rust and goo, the channels are caked with mud, creeks and groans ache like proclamations as this earth clay quakes and sulfur escapes revealing pure intelligence amid limitations.
What could it be but glorious me?
Reality screams, the gut wrenches to leak sad poison, slowly...deftly demanding itching shame and blame - but oh! here comes the candida cure the blessings of sealing sure.
The liver yet harder, live a little bit longer and serve me a decade or two, as I right my ways to honor your days and live according as is your due to endure the processing through.
Who knows of my heart, beating apart, tired and slow though it goes, the anxiety ripping watching the whipping of friends and foes; open to feel and connect in His will, the empathy grows.
This skin is my kingdom to rule with wisdom; his Word granted by God to help abide. I honor myself as I trust in His Gift, the Son of Man is my guide.
Redeeming, perfect, and everlasting is His great and wonderful love, the price that it costs, (Oh I may drown in the dross!) is worth all to know Him above.
*Moroni 10:31 “And awake, and arise from the dust, O Jerusalem; yea, and put on thy beautiful garments, O daughter of Zion; and strengthen thy stakes and enlarge thy borders forever, that thou mayest no more be confounded, that the covenants of the Eternal Father which he hath made unto thee, O house of Israel, may be fulfilled.”
D&C 133:10 “Yea, let the cry go forth among all people: Awake and arise and go forth to meet the Bridegroom; behold and lo, the Bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. Prepare yourselves for the great day of the Lord.“
Faith in Christ is having hope through darkness
Frodo: I wish the ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened. Gandalf: So do all who have lived to see such times but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world besides that of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the ring; in which case you were meant to find the ring. And that is an encouraging thought.
Serious conditions such as cancer metastasis, heart disease, chronic inflammation and fibrosis, kidney injury, ulcerative colitis, cirrhosis of the liver, arthritis, and a host of other chronic conditions have been shown to be triggered and exacerbated by high levels of galectin-3 in the blood.... As a culprit, active biomarker, elevated galectin-3 is both a cause and an effect of metastatic cancer and inflammatory/fibrosis-related conditions, i.e. galectin-3 in excess works to advance chronic inflammation and the progression of inflammation to fibrosis within organs and tissues... Many people are already aware of the benefits of regular pectin in helping cleanse the digestive tract, where it can bind with and remove environmental toxins such as heavy metals -- even radioactive isotopes. The problem has been that regular, unmodified pectin molecules are too big to enter the bloodstream. This has been solved with the development of Modified Citrus Pectin (MCP)—a significantly smaller form of pectin molecule with enhanced molecular characteristics. Due to its specific size and structure, MCP is shown to provide a number of therapeutic benefits throughout the body, including selective immune enhancement, as well as protection against organ fibrosis and metastatic cancer. MCP is naturally attracted to galectin-3 molecules and has the unique ability to bind with excess galectin-3 and effectively block the inflammatory, fibrotic and pro-cancer effects of this “rogue molecule.” In doing so, MCP is shown in multiple studies to inhibit the growth and metastasis of cancer cells, as well as reverse features of illnesses related to chronic inflammation and fibrosis, including kidney injury, vascular fibrosis and others.

Turning over a new leaf: eating more veggies and grains. Here we are making rice milk and it is kid approved = "Tastes like almond milk"! Keeping God's commandments brings forth great blessings, like "health in the navel" (Proverbs 3:5-8). #wordofwisdom
Proud Army Mom
Ethan received the Distinguished Honor Graduate award at AIT Army graduation today! Not only did he get 99.1% GPA but he also excelled in other areas. He has worked so hard to keep the rules, help others, and keep himself and his stuff clean to pass inspections at the highest level. He told me that a girl got 99.8% but she was disciplined for being on her phone once.
Check out the video from today (11/22/2016) at minute 15:20 to watch him being awarded. Congrats Ethan!! Hooah!

The girls made corn centerpieces for Thanksgiving. We will take them to the homeschool co-op party today too. #HomeschoolHandicrafts
Great haircut from the talented Emma. Thanks dear! Perfect pick-me up after hearing bad news from Dr. I get to see a heptologist in SLC...hopefully soon. Maybe if I take immunosuppressants the mild inflammation will be reduced. Hopefully that will stop further scarring (which is severe) and early cirrhosis (currently asymptomatic). That is a lot of hope. Gotta hold onto it! And focus on good hair! :)
I'm so adorable!

Gratitude journal...change perspective... see the clear picture and not the pebble that looks like a boulder. 1. Ben holding me and helping me whenever I need it 2. Beautiful children (6 mine, 4 foster kids) that are respectful, talented, caring, helpful, and righteous 3. God blessing me with his spirit and testimony, with spiritual gifts to bless me and others 4. A large house with enough food to feed the fam herd and neighborhood children 5. A gym membership, for kids (pool, kids class, nursery) but especially for me and my yoga!!
Dear Angel
I watched this on Monday: http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2014/11/10/glenn-beck-reveals-the-life-changing-pivot-point-he-has-kept-hidden-from-almost-everyone-for-five-years/
That night, I wrote this:
Dear Glenn,
Are you our angel? Is it possible that the miracle you've been talking about is our miracle? I hope what you shared yesterday is the answer we've been waiting and praying for... for almost 30 years. Amazing that something so personal for our family could be given to us by a stranger. And not just that, but a public figure prophesying of miracles to millions of people. Our miracle?
I have never been unable to sleep, mainly because I am the mother of 5 kids, president of my LDS church's women's organization, and frankly, I'm getting over a cold. Your message and the events of the last few weeks compel me to get the thoughts out of my head and onto paper.
My dear, tormented husband is up too. The last year, he's only been able to get a couple hours of sleep due to work related stress. However, even though he tries so hard, he received notice from his boss that he will be let go. They know of his pain condition and have been really understanding but even he acknowledges that he cannot go on at this pace much longer. Thus, after 12 years of marriage and only 2 years of full-time work, he will return again to a slower pace.
At the age of 9 (or 10?), he was hit by a car on a busy road and thrown dozens of feet. Doctor's marveled that he only received a concussion and he was sent home after brief hospital monitoring. Thus has been his story for almost 30 years. Nobody in the medical field has been able to diagnose or treat him. The head pain is constant and intense, more like pressure and not a traditional headache or migraine. When he exerts himself, often he will collapse and his body will convulse as he holds his head in the fetal position. The mental dysfunction is sometimes the saddest as it masks the supremely intellectual man I know and love. One of the saddest things for me is when depression darkens his eyes and body, usually when he is unemployed and not moving forward.
Last night, in bed, I held him and told him how amazing he is. He snorted at that because wants to do what he cannot do for the boys in his care at the youth treatment center where he is employed. I noted how deeply he loves and his gifts for empathy, listening, and helping other see and build connections within themselves and their families. I emphasized how amazing it is he isn't a bachelor living in his parent's basement but has a family, higher education, and our first home we bought a year ago in our little promised land of Preston, ID.
The Lord has carried and is carrying my husband. We know and feel that on a daily basis. Hundreds of thousands if not millions of people have prayed and fasted in his behalf. Miracles have happened over and over to get him where he is at today. We have felt peace and we feel peace even now...that the Lord has something wonderful in store for him and to trust him. I have hope that the miracle doctors, diagnoses, and treatments that have been prayed and fasted for is at the Carric Brain Center.
You are my favorite public figure and you've touched my life greatly in the past but I've been very busy lately and the Lord wanted my focus elsewhere. A few weeks ago, your famous "How do you do it, America?" late night post came onto my feed. I was so moved, I responded. I subscribed to theblaze.com/tv and followed you there as well as on facebook comments on a daily basis. I loved the new direction I saw you taking and felt compelled spiritually to be a part of it. Could it be that YOU were meant to be a part of OUR story? I pray to God it is so.
The God that knows you and heals you is the God that knows my husband and will heal him too, as well as all of us. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for sharing a story so deeply personal for you. How amazing that you could be the messenger, for a miracle prayed so intensely for to be granted on such a grand scale... I hope.
Thank you, dear angel.
I love you, Wendy
