Freedom in Jesus

Once, several years ago, when I found myself out of control in a particular area of my life, I asked God to take my attentions off of myself and to fix them on Himself instead. I received SUCH healing and blessings in my life as a result of praying this prayer. I also contemplated what Jesus means to me and chose to think His thoughts about my struggles, while also cooperating with God-even when I found it somewhat frightening to do so. God performed a mighty victory in my life then and freed me from a deranged way of thinking and acting. He is SO good and is willing, longing and able to help anyone who calls out to Him in faith. And.. if your faith is weak, simply pray this prayer; "...Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief." Mark 9:24 (KJV) I don't know how God will choose to help each one who calls out to Him. He has endless ways of doing so, adapted to the needs of each person whom He knows and understands completely. What I do know is that He always does what is best.
I hope that this post will encourage someone today. If it does, to God be the glory!

Tornado Roll Hair Tutorial

Image
Hello everyone. :) (One important note: I mentioned that I wear a panty hose on my head at night to keep my hair neat. I either tie up the legs or wear a panty hose that has had the legs cut off. I wouldn't want anyone to have the legs end up becoming tied around their necks during their sleep. That doesn't sound safe). In today's video, I am showing you all how to do what I have termed a "tornado roll" on stretched natural African-American hair. This style would not work so well on most freshly washed natural African-American hair. African American hair is generally not washed daily. My definition of stretched hair is the following: natural African-American hair  that has been twisted, braided or put in buns for more than one day and that has then been combed out dry. This style can be done with straight or wavy hair as well. The hair tools that I use in this video are the following: A wide tooth comb A bristle brush A pony tail holder A large jaw clip Bobb

I am happy to let my readers know that this diet can be very tasty and delightful. In this part of the series, I will be letting my readers know what some of my favorite dishes have been through the years, and I will be providing links to where you can purchase the cookbooks that contain the recipes for these dishes, if you are interested in trying them. :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There are vegan versions of very many kinds of foods. There is vegan macaroni and cheese, vegan lasagna, scrambled tofu (a great substitute for scrambled eggs), vegan pizza, vegan cheese and sour cream etc. There is so much out there for vegans to eat.

The Amazing Benefits of the Whole Foods Plant-based Diet part IV

         Would you be excited if you learned that there is a diet that has been shown to help people to drastically improve, and even reverse, type 2 diabetes and heart disease, and which also makes weight loss tremendously easier? Some medical professionals have come to see that the Whole Foods Plant Based diet can do incredible things for many of their patients: things that conventional medicine struggles to accomplish.  Today I will be sharing some free, online resources that give my readers scientific information on the benefits of the Whole Foods Plant-Based diet for type 2 diabetes and heart disease. I will also be sharing testimonials of people who have overcome obesity on this diet.       What I am sharing isn't a comprehensive ( comprehensive definition ) list of resources on these topics, but I hope that what I am sharing will be food for thought (that sounds like a pun!). As a friendly reminder, I am not a medical professional and what I am sharing is not a substitute fo
