Healing from severe food allergies?!

So… some of you know that I’ve been praying for months about my food allergies, after God seemed to tell me they were demon oppression/attack (I know it sounds crazy to some of you but hear me out). This week, I had a major breakthrough in my life, relating to the trauma caused by my mom, thanks to Deanna Ritchie (www.facebook.com/heavenonearthhealingschool) helping me over the last few months to find deep soul wounds, and also learning to claim the full power of God in mending these wounds. I believe this last bit of unforgiving spirit was providing a “landing strip” for Satan and his crew to afflict me. 

Well, I’ve been nervously testing this out–this whole week, I’ve had a huge amount of gluten, several times, and… 

Nothing.

I keep waiting for the head-to-toe hives, the other horrific side effects that you don’t want to hear about lol, and not one problem! 

I can hardly believe it myself, and I didn’t even want to say anything to anyone, because it’s just weird. You don’t get healed from things like food allergies…or so says my nurse brain. I am learning that God brought me out of nursing, at least for a season, to help me fully experience miraculous medical healing and breakthrough, because my nurse brain kept putting Him in a box, saying “that’s just impossible.” 

Last night, we prayed over some spiritual warfare we’ve been dealing with, and Satan really started to get in my head. ?

So today… I’m claiming this publicly, because I need to show Satan he needs to shut up! 
I’ve been truly miraculously healed of severe food allergies! 

?

This just doesn’t happen. I’ve suffered for years… it’s been miserable. It was so bad that if Ben even ate gluten and then kissed me, I’d break out in hives, so he had to eat gluten free, too! I was terrified of restaurants touching something and contaminating it, because it would mean hours and hours of torture later. I didn’t ever want to go eat at someone’s house, because they didn’t know how to prepare food carefully, and I’d pay the price.

Now, I’m not saying all food allergies are Satan’s doing lol, that’s just what God told me after praying and begging him to show me how to pray for mine, because I was so done with it, and I desired a miraculous intervention.

And maybe God had me go through all of this to learn how to carefully cook for food allergies, so that we can take in foster kids with life-threatening allergies or something, who knows? 

But all I know is that for the first time in maybe my whole life, I feel actual compassion toward my mom, the person who has hurt me deeply from the time I was even in utero. Most of you don’t even know my story to the fullest extent…there was atrocious behavior. I know I could never fully forgive her on my own, but I learned how to repair my soul from the hurt, so that I could allow God to place that deepest forgiveness in my heart.

Also, this sounds weird, I’m sure, but today I need to heavily claim the promises of God publicly, so… God also whispered to me that this forgiveness bit with my mom was what was hindering me from carrying a child to term. So please, I covet your prayers for a healthy child to be born to us. We desire so deeply to foster and adopt (we’ve desired to adopt since before we even got married), but this desire for natural children hasn’t left, either. We truly wish for a home full of children who come to us through all sorts of ways. So please be in prayer with us over this. ❤️
Ok, now that you probably think I’m crazy (??‍♀️??‍♀️?), go claim a promise of God for yourself! Satan really is afoot and doing some horrible things… let’s combat it by shouting praise and claiming promises! 
Thank you Jesus for healing what should’ve been impossible, both physically and emotionally! ??

Friday Faves: Dollar Shave Club, and the smoothest shave you’ll ever get with only WATER!

I’ve told countless people about this company for years, but there still seem to be quite a few who haven’t heard of it, so I’m putting it out there again. Also, a lot of people understandably think it’s for men only, but ladies…let me tell ya, this company is for us as well! If you share with your hubby, you’ll save even more! 

Also, stay tuned, because I’ll be sharing how to get baby-smooth legs with ONLY water, saving you even more money! ??

So first, the Dollar Shave Club. I originally signed up to get my husband these blades, as he shaves not just his face, but his head… meaning he wears out his blades quickly, and they’re just so danged expensive! Then I found out you could pay a few bucks to add an extra handle, and I was psyched. I ordered my handle and we split the blades, and it’s been heaven ever since! 

So how does it work?

There are 3 tiers… you pick one, and get a free handle with your first order (you get 4 cartridges in each monthly shipment, although newer options have come along, making even this flexible–love it!).

1. The cheap twin blade. This one is only $1 a month, plus $2 shipping. If the next tier were brand name prices, I might be tempted to try this, but since it’s not… 

2. 4 blades. $6 a month, and free shipping. I love this blade for myself-it’s enough without being too much. 


We currently switch from month to month between this plan and the next one (allowing us to keep both kinds stocked), which is…

3. 6 blades, plus a trimmer edge, which is great for guys! $9 a month, and also ships free.


My husband likes this one, especially with the trimmer edge. So we keep him stocked with this one, and I keep stocked on the other. 

Tips: 

We’ve found that the handles and blades (at least for these two tiers) are interchangeable, which is kind of nice, just in case we need to borrow a blade from each other, if we are traveling or running low on one kind. 

If your razor gets gross and goopy, a Norwex envirocloth really gets these babies shined up nicely! (You can purchase one at www.NotYourMamasRags.com)


Also, we love the snarky things on their packaging, and inserts that come in the shipment… it’s cheesy, snarky, and downright hilarious (this isn’t even the best lol):

You can check them out here, AND, if you

Now, about that shaving with only water thing… y’all, this is amazing! My legs have never been this smooth, and I’m saving money on shaving cream!

*drumroll*

Again, yes, Norwex. Why? Because I’m eliminating chemicals, and changing my life! I love it. I recently discovered the Body Scrub Mitt, which has an exfoliating side (I use this first to really get all the dead skin loose and any ingrown hairs), and a microfiber side (I use this next to make sure everything is off and my legs are truly clean), plus it has Baclock, which is microsilver, to inhibit mold/mildew/bacterial growth! It’s a miracle mitt lol! 



Again, you can pick one of these up at www.NotYourMamasRags.com, and through the end of April, they’re on sale for $5 when you spend $75! They even have a 2 year guarantee! Meaning, you’ll save a ton of money by skipping shaving cream for at least 2 years lol! Not to mention, my legs are smoother on day 2 now than they were on the day I shaved with shaving cream! I love it!  The more I do this, the less ingrown hairs I’m getting, too! Yay for smooth summer legs! ?

I hope you enjoy some of these products! Do you already subscribe to DSC? Are you already a Norwex fan? Let me know! ☺️

Happy Friday!
