Close your eyes and imagine driving down a two-lane road.  It is a brisk morning, and you are enjoying the solitude of your drive.  Most mornings you don’t have the privilege of seeing many other vehicles on this stretch of road, so you enjoy the occasional glance at God’s creation.  As you are entering a curve, you come upon a large panel truck traveling towards you in your lane.  What do you do? 

In a situation as this, you don’t have a lot of time to weigh in on the pros and cons of what would work best.  It is with split second decision that you have to decide your course of action.  The worse thing you can do is swerve or to panic.  I did neither.  Yes, I got to experience this exact thing this morning on my way to work.  In hindsight, I cannot believe how calm I remained as I laid on the horn in the hopes that I would garner some response.  It worked.  He swerved back into his lane at exactly the time we passed. 
I must have been holding my breath, because I exhaled and breathed a sigh of relief.  My first response as I settled into the realization that all was well was to glorify and thank Jesus.  I know at least twice I said, “Thank you, Jesus!”

It is almost noon now and I cannot get what transpired out of my head.  What if?  What if the truck had hit me?  What if the words I said to my son this morning were the last? What if the last time I spoke to my daughter was the last time?  What if the words I spoke to my siblings … to my co-workers … to anyone were my last?  Bottom line, “WHAT IF”?  Am I harboring any ill will towards others?  Am I holding on to unforgiveness?  Am I allowing the pettiness of life to keep me from being the best I can be … holding me back from relationships?  Are my daily priorities in order?  Am I spending enough time with loved ones?  Am I giving God all He deserves?
As I pondered all of this, I heard my inner man say, “So, what if?  What are your responses to the above?”
Would I leave here with regrets?  Yes, I think we all have regrets on some scale.

What if the truck had hit me?  Instead of writing this to you, I would be in heaven today with my loved ones, praising my awesome and wonderful Father in Heaven.  Would I have been ready?  I think so.  Sure, there are many things I wish I had done for heaven’s glory … there are many people I wish I had shown more boldness in faith to, but ultimately, I am ready to meet my Creator.  I wait in anxious anticipation of His return.
​
The Bible tells us that in the blink of an eye the skies will part and Jesus will meet us in the clouds and we will be homeward bound.  Some get to go before then, and though I am ready, I am also blessed to know that I did not go.  I still get to work on those few regrets I have.  I still get more opportunities to glorify Christ in all I do.  I still get to be a light in the darkness.  I still get to love on my family.  What if?  Seriously, what if?  What if you were called home today?

As I was getting ready for work the other morning, I thought I would cry when thinking of where I am today verses where I was almost approximately three months ago.  I never thought my life would change so radically in the blink of an eye.  Then, when I realized how my life had changed, I became very sad.  

God has blessed me and my health in life altering ways.  He has set me free from 22+ years of daily discomfort.  There were some days when I could not roll over on my own and breathing without pain was a challenge.  When I share this, I am sure there are a lot of people who will think, "Wow, I saw her here and there and she did not seem to be in any sort of pain!"  You would be right in your perspective, but it was not the case.  Any one can appear fine on the outside, but when you start your day ingesting as much pain relievers as I did, then your outside can be very deceiving.  How do you think people who suffer with depression are able to fool so many? It is what is on the inside that we conceal from the world.

On some days I would have to continue taking pain relievers throughout my day.  I was seeking a better quality of life at the risk of damaging myself internally.  Today, not so much!  It was this reality that brought me sadness on this particular day and not joy.  My sorrow overwhelmed me when I thought of my mom and dad and how much this gift God had bestowed upon me would have altered their quality of life.  My mom suffered for more years than I care to remember with rheumatoid arthritis, heart issues, and the such.  My dad had Alzheimers, gout, and heart issues.  All of these things played havoc on their daily existence and robbed them of the life they so deserved.

My mom was taken away entirely too early in life.  She was a fighter and she loved life, but she could not enjoy it.  When I think what a difference my new health regime would have had on her quality of life, it saddens me.  The only chance she had of enjoying her days were by pumping herself full of steroids.  Ultimately, it was the steroids that took her life.  Her inability to experience what I have today is driving me forward to share with others.  It has become my PASSION.  I don't ever want to wake up ever again and say, "I wish I had of …"!  I want to say I did or at the very least I tried.

This past weekend I held an in-house at one of my family member's homes because I was passionate about sharing this miracle (this is exactly what it has been for me) with my family.  The first people you want to see have a better quality of life is those you love.  Now I am on a quest to share it with others.  The world is my oyster and I am looking for those pearls that God leads me to.  I want to free you from the daily health issues which may be impacting your life in a small way or a huge way.  I want to bring knowledge to those who do not suffer on how to remain that way.  Lastly, I want to bring knowledge to those who do not suffer but have loved ones of their own who suffer.  I am learning just how powerful knowledge is.  I always heard that, and I knew the significance of it, but today I am living proof of just how powerful this knowledge can be.  Man may have put together the science of redox signaling molecules, but it was God who provided the knowledge!!!!  It is life changing.  I now have the power I need to help people heal at the cellular level with redox technology.  I have no medical background … I have no medical research experience.  I only have ME and I know what it has meant to me.

We can lead horses to water, but we cannot make them drink.  However, in order for me to have a peace of mind, I must lead them to the water.  If they choose not to drink, I can walk away saying I tried.  It is all any of us can do.

Don't start another day without obtaining knowledge.  God bless!!!!
