Time to celebrate! So let’s celebrate!!!!!! Don’t hold back!

Hai sa celebram!!!!!!

For the life of the body is in its blood. I have given you the blood on the altar to purify you, making you right with the Lord. It is the blood, given in exchange for a life, that makes purification possible. Leviticus 17:11

Blood is fundamental to the function of every cell component in our bodies. Cells need food to survive, grow, repair themselves and to fulfill their specific functions, and, to reproduce. Cellular food is transported in blood to provide for all the cell’s needs. But you see, my blood is under attack, thus I am under attack on a cellular lever which, if not taken care of, will start breaking down every organ, one by one. The Babesia duncani bacteria, which I tested positive for, lives in the blood, more specifically lives in their own cocoons attached on the inside of arteries, decreasing the space of blood flow. Similar to how cholesterol attached to the arteries’ wall or gunk attaches to any pipes in our houses, causing slow flow or even a plug. My VEGF, wich stands for Vascular endothelial growth factor is low. Shortly put, on a cellular lever there’s not enough intake of amino-acids wich promotes the reproduction of tiny new blood cells. There’s a whole lot more info on this subject but the bottom line is this; my current blood supply is under attach from a bacterial infection and my body is very slow in making any new blood cells due to some very important pieces that’s lacking or depleted in.

The reason I’m telling you this? When we’re attacked at the most basic level, whether is in our body, our mind or our spirit, we have a diminished capacity to thrive. I can wish all I want to get better, but unless I go in with the right tools and attack the very enemy that’s weakening me I don’t have a good chance of getting better. Miracles DO happen, however, more times than not God wants to see US fight our troubles, not just seat around and hope it will go away. He, God, will walk along side, direct us to the right sources, if we trust him, and encourage us through the whole process. And that’s when we learn patience, trust, thankfulness, grace, love and so much more. Nothing of great value has ever come to us easily. Even the miracle of Christ Jesus took nine months.

Have a great day:)

Caci viata trupului este in singe. Vi l-am dat ca sa-l puneti pe altar, ca sa slujeasca de ispasire pentru sufletele voastre, caci prin viata din el face singele ispasire. Leviticul 17:11

Sângele este fundamental pentru funcția fiecărei celule în corpul nostru. Celulele au nevoie de hrană pentru a supraviețui, pentru a creste, reparare și pentru a reproduce. Alimentarea celulară este transportat în sânge pentru a asigura toate nevoile celulei. Dar vezi, sângele meu este sub atac, astfel intregul corp este sub atac pe o pârghie celulara. In cazul în care nu am grija va începe sa distruga fiecare organ, unul dupa altul. Bacteria Babesia duncani, la care am testat pozitiv traieste in sânge, mai precis traieste în propriile lor coconi atașate pe interiorul arterelor, scăzind spațiul prin care fluxurile de sânge merg. Este similar ca si colesterolul atașat la pereții arterelor sau mizerie atașata din conductele caselor noastre, cauzând flux lent sau chiar un dop. VEGF meu, scurtatat pentru factorul de crestere endotelial vascular este redus. Pe scurt, pe o pârghie celulara nu e suficient suportul de amino-acizi care promovează reproducerea celulelor sanguine noi. Există o mulțime de informații despre acest subiect, dar in mare este aceasta; productia de singe actuala este sub atac de infecție bacteriană și corpul meu este foarte lent în a face noi celule sanguine din cauza unor piese foarte importante care lipsesc sau sint epuizate.

Motivul pentru care va spun asta? Când suntem atacați la nivelul cel mai de bază, ori în corpul nostru, ori in mintea noastră ori in spiritul nostru, avem o capacitate diminuată de a prospera. Pot sa-mi doresc cit vreau de a ma face bine, dar dacă nu mă duc și atac la mod direct inamicul care mă slăbeste nu am o șansă bună de a ma vindeca. Miracole se intampla, cu toate acestea, de mai multe ori decât nu Dumnezeu vrea să ne vadă ca ne luptam imotriva necazurile noastre (aduse de inamic), nu doar sa stam cu miinile in poale sperind ca magic toate problemele vor disparea.  El, Dumnezeu, va merge alături de noi, ne va conduce la sursele corecte, dacă ne încredem în El și  ne va încuraja pe intergul parcus. Numai asta vom putea învăta răbdare, încredere, mulțumire, dragoste și mult mai mult. Nimic de  valoare a ajuns vreodată la noi cu ușurință. Chiar și miracolul lui Iisus Hristos a luat nouă luni.

Va doresc o zi buna:)

Not sure how your night’s been but our night, last night, was tough. At 1 am I woke up suddenly from chicken in distress noises. (Chet’s been up a while now, due to noises made by squeaky floors which it only meant that one of our kid was up again. Big suprise.) Both Chet and I got up, got dressed, went outside to help but found out our chickens were alright. Our eldest son, however, was out of bed again for the thousand-th time. Frustrated with the situation Chet sent our son back to bed and the friend he was hanging out with in our motor home, back home. Come  to think of it, Chet’s been up most night’s the past 20 years, specifically since our eldest’s has been born. We went back to bed only to be woken up again around 4 am by more chicken distress noises, hard cries of pain in fact. By the time I got some clothes on they quickly died down and I knew sadly why. A racoon visit. An hour later, it happened again. Our neighbor has three chickens and the neighborhood has too many raccoons. The whole thing happened fast and I laid down saddened by what just happened, thinking of the verse: The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. (John 10:10) Later on more noises came up. I got up, got dressed, grabbed a golf club we keep around just for racoon butt kicking, a flashlight and ran next door to help, surprised any of his chickens were still alive. Two raccoons, somehow made their way into an otherwise safe chicken coop and were having a good old-time hunting. I flashed the light right in their eyes, screamed and hit anything solid around me like a mad woman. It scared them away but not too far, because I still saw them. So I repeated the crazy woman act. It worked better the second time. Then from 4:45 am until about 7 am I stood guard, mended the damage done as well as I could and made sure the remaining chickens (two survived!) were alright. Once back home I made coffee, a small breakfast for my working guys and tried to go back to sleep. I could not, if its light outside my brain wants to play not to lay in bed:) The reason I’m telling you this story is due to an analogy dancing in my head; the chickens who are peaceful creatures minding their sleep had no clue their night would turn around so fast and their lives would be in danger. The raccoons, predators that hunt and kill at night, formed a plan ( because there were two of them) and went picking the easy defenseless prey, in this case my neighbour’s chickens. Only when I got there and stayed guard ( just like God does so many times we end up crying out to him in distress) the thiefs left. God comes and stands guard between us and the prey roaming around to kill more times than you or I know. The chickens never thanked me, just like we don’t thank God for all the great things he does for us, but I cared anyway and I would’ve stayed there longer if needed. I’m a small, weak human being. How much bigger, how much greater and how much more do you thing God loves us?

P.S. (My neighbour, a great friend, wo is usually up and on top of the situation heard nothing, too tired from a long trip they took the previous day.) We’ll  have a talk later on today with our son about the night owl habit, again.

Nu sunt sigura cum a fost azi-noapte pentru voi, dar noaptea trecută pentru noi a fost greu. La 1 am m-am trezit brusc din pricina zgomotului de gaina in primejdie. (Chet a fost treaz deja de o vreme, din cauza zgomotului de scirtiiala de parchet,  însemnand că una dintre copii nostrii era treaz. Mare surpriză.) Atât Chet și eu ne-am ridicat, ne-am îmbrăcat, si am  mers afară cu intentia de a ajuta gainile, dar ale noastre erau în regulă. Fiul nostru cel mai mare, însă, era treaz iara. Frustrat cu situația, Chet l-a trimis înapoi în pat și pe prietenul lui cu care vorbea înapoi la acasă lui. Daca stau bine si ma gandesc, Chet a dormit prost in ultimii 20 de ani, în mod special de când sa născut primul copil. Ne-am întors la pat, numai sa ma trezesc iara brusc, de data asta dintr-un vis urit, în jurul orei 4 am cu zgomote de durere facute de gaina iara. Până am pus haine pe mine a murit zgomotul repede și am știut ce sa intimplat. Ratoni. O oră mai târziu, sa întâmplat din nou. Vecinul nostru are trei gaini și cartierul este plin de ratonii. Totul sa întâmplat repede și am stabilit întristata ca versetului: Hoțul nu vine decât să fure, să ucidă și să distrugă. (Ioan 10:10) era foarte potrivit situatiei. Jumate de ora mai tirziu sa intimplat din nou. M-am ridicat, m-am îmbrăcat, am luat un club de golf, o lanternă și am fugit la vecinu sa ajut cumva, surprinsa ca nu toate gainile au murit. Doi ratoni, si-au facut cumva drumul în coteț. Am străfulgerat umina drept în ochii lor, am țipat și am lovit tot ce era solid în jurul meu ca o femeie nebună. Sau speriat, au fugit dar nu prea departe, pentru că eu încă-i vedeam asteptind. Așa că am repetat actul femeii nebune. A doua oara a lucrat mai bine. Apoi, de la 04:45 până la circa 7 dimineața am stat de pază, reparat pagubele. Doua, din cele trei gaini care el le avea, au supravetuit. Odată  ce a aparuy lumina am stiut ca vor fii okay si m-am intors acasă, am făcut cafea, un mic dejun pentru băieții mei și am încercat să se întoarc la somn. Nu am putut, dacă e lumina afara creierul meu vrea să joace nu sa doarma. Motivul pentru care va spun acest eveniment de viata este din cauza unei analogie în capul meu; gainile sint creaturi creaturi pașnice care-si vad de treaba lor, si azinoapte nu au avut nici o idee ca viata lor era in pericol. Ratoni, prădători care vineaza și ucide pe timp de noapte, au format un plan de atac (pentru că arau doi) au ales prada usoara, în acest caz gainele vecinului meu. Doar când am ajuns acolo și a rămas de pază (la fel face Dumnezeu acest lucru de cite ori strigat catre el cind ne simtim în primejdie) raconii au plecat. Dumnezeu vine și stă de pază între noi și dusmanu vietii noastre care face ocol cu intentia de a ucide, de multe ori. Gainele nu mi-au mulțumit, la fel ca și noi, nu mulțumim lui Dumnezeu pentru toate lucrurile minunate pe care le face pentru noi, dar mi-a păsat oricum și eu aș fi stat acolo mai mult, pina eram sigura ca ele sint okay. Sunt o fiinta slaba si neputincioasa, dar D-zeu este mult mai mare  si cit de mult crezi tu ca ne iubește?

Today I have a three part video- sorry for the fast and at times hard to understand speech.

Pentru Romania:) Multumesc Miha de telefon si incurajari:)))))))))))))))))))))

My son Alex (to the right) and Jonny, Nelly’s young boy (to the left) playing in the snow on Saturday after a great day at the mall on Friday and a sleep over. They sure had a great time:)

This was an eventful week. Last Tuesday was my last day on antibiotics, but then came the detox, which was pretty nasty. I feel stronger with each passing day but still weaker than I like to see myself. Before antibiotics I had one headache a year or every other year, now I have them all the time and I must admit, it makes me unhappy. Thanksgiving with the Angels on Thursday. Today I have the second appointment with the Lyme disease specialist, we’ll be going over the blood test results. I feel anxious. My mind no longer wants to play this game. I just want to be healthy again, no buts or ifs. Healthy! I choose to believe I’m getting better knowing your so diligent in your prayers and you have my back! Have a great day!

Alex, baiatul meu cel mic (la dreapta) cu Jonny, baiatul cel mic a lui Nelly (la stinga), la zapada Simbata supa o zi faina la supermarket.

Saptamina care a trecut a fost plina de evenimente. Martea trecuta am terminat cu antibioticele, pe urma am trecut in detoxificare, un process greau si neplacut. Inainte de a lua antibioticele, aveam durere de cap poate o data pe an, acuma ma doare capu tot timpu, si nu-mi place treaba asta. Ziua multumirii a fost Joi si am petrecut-o cu prietenii nostrii din Bulgaria, Angel si Nelly:) Azi e a doua programare cu specialista de Lyme, si-mi va zice rezultatele de la testele de singe. Am trepidatii, dar aleg sa cred ca voi avea sanatate pe deplin bazata pe rugaciunile voastre:) O zi buna la toti!

Feeling better the past five days I must have pushed myself cleaning the house, the kitchen and cooking. Yesterday around 11 am I had one relapse and while visiting our friends Leo and Natasha for a Seahawks football game had another one later the same day. We prayed together and it was awesome. The good news: they were far less intensive and lasted far shorter than before. However I feel my body very weak and I will keep a low-key for the coming few days.

Simtindu-ma mai bine de cinci zile, cred ca am depus prea mult effort facind curat in casa, bucatarie si facind mincare. Ieri, in jurul orei 11 dimineata am avut prima reactie si mai tirziu, la pritenii nostrii Leo si Natasha acasa, uitindu-ne la fotbal American am avut a doua reactie. Ne-am rugat impreauna si am avut prieteni linga mine pina sa terminat. Vestea buna este ca reactiile nu am fost intense ca inainte si au durat mult mai putin (poate 15 minute) ca cele dinainte ( de la 45 minute pina la o ora si jumate). Ma simt slabita si in viitoarele citeva zile ma voi odihni in plin.

Cind ascult al doilea cintec (sint un pribeag), imi dau lacrimile. Azi ma simt obosita, atit in corp cit si in suflet. Stau de multe ori si-mi vad corpul asta slabit si ce mi se intimpla si-mi indrept privirea catre D-zeu, cu lacrimi il intreb sa-mi reinoiasca puterea in corp ca ma simt la un prag de moarte de multe ori. Iar am slabit in greautate. Iara simt inima slabita, si corpul epuizat. Dar ma uit la cei iubiti, la voi, si iar mi se reinoieste puterea. Mi-ar place sa ma duc sa-l vizitez pe Alin, fratele meu care e in Michigan o saptamina cu lucru, dar nu pot nici sa conduc masina pina la coltul strazii. Ma uit spre cer si-i multumesc lui D-zeu pentru zilele care mi l-ea dat dar si petru ziua cind se va sfirsi totul si voi fi complet vindecata in corp. Ufta… azi mi-am dat drumu. Va doresc o zi/ seara placuta. Bucurati-va de tot ce ave-ti mai ales daca aveti sanatate! E foarte importanta sanatatea in corp, suflet si spirit.

Last night I had a dream that felt different than my normal dreams. After reading it, I would really like your imput. You can leave it as a comment under the text or you can go to the contact page and leave me a private message.

Chet and I, along with our kids were grocery shopping at a large supermarket. After we paid and as we were pushing our cart out, by the soor to the side stood couple men, in their thirties. In a Easter European accent ithey asked us if we wanted to adopt a boy. Chet and I wanted to hear more details. While the kids waited outside by the cart, we were directed into another room. (So far this feels like a normal dream to me). The room was full of young boys, teenagers and man of Eastern European descended, some standing, most sitting on tables forming a circle around a particular twentyish looking young man supporting a boy about 8 years old. The boy left leg (from knee down) twisted inwardly in a very unnatural way, giving him a hard time standing properly needing constant help. All the boys around him were laughing at him and at the situation in front of us. The  8-year-old boy had a round head, with black short-cropped hair sticking straight up, brown eyes and filthy clothing, and even thought on his face there was a faint smile as if he too was part of the demeaning humour, his eyes were in tears and very sad-looking. Imediately I felt tears invade my own eyes and had no idea how to react. To extract out of us further emotions, they flipped the young boy around and undressed him. His bottom had such a drastic rash (typical to a baby rash) running down his legs looking hundred times worse than that of a normal rash, it looked old as if these scars have been there for a while. His entire back, top-to-bottom was so very scarred I covered my mouth. It looked as if the poor boy was scorched with boiled water, but at the same time it looked as if these were old wounds. There were creases and dried up skin but the worse was the fact that his back was plit down the middle along the spine, all the way to the bone. The images are very vivid in my mind. I looked to one person in particular that seemed to laugh the loudest and I was shocked of the resemblance to the 8-year-old. It’s as if I was looking at an older version of the 8-year-old boy. I looked at Chet, wanting to know what he though but he wasn’t showing his emotions,  not until we were in more private place. Even though there was so much pain, it felt as if everyone there was trying to get a reaction out of us using the pain and suffering of this innocent boy. We walked away to talk about it, but then woke up.

Do you think this was just another dream or it has a significants?

Azinoapte am avut un vis care mi se pare diferit decit visurile mele normale. Dupa ce cititi (daca alegeti sa cititi:) mi-ar face placere sa aud parerile voastre. Le pute-ti lasa ca comentariu in casuta de mai jos sau privat pe pagina de Contact.

Eram toti intr-un supermarket, la cumparaturi de alimente. Dupa ce am platit si copii impingeau carutu spre usa la iesire,  la stinga stateau doi barbati in jurul virstei de 30 de ani. Cu un accent greau din Europa de Est ne-au intrebat daca vrem sa adoptam un baiat. Sotul cu mine ne-am decis sa-i intrebam mai multe detalii. Ei ne-au directat intr-o camera la stinga. Lasindu-i pe copii afara linga carut, amindoi am intrat in camera. Am observat camera plina de copii, adolescenti si barbati toti de origine din Europa de Est. Unii stateau in picioare, dar majoritatea stateau pe mese lungi formind un fel de cerc in jurul la doua persoane. Unu cam la 20 de ani il sprijinea pe un baiat cam de 8 ani. Baiatul avea par negru, scurt si drep, ochii caprui, zdremte pe corp si murdar. Piciorul sting de la genunchi in jos era sucit intrauntru intr-un fel anormal, dindu-i dificultatea de a sta bine pe picioare. Cei din jur rideau. Desi baiatul avea si el un zimbet pe buze ca si cum vedea si el umorul in situatia lui, ochii erau plini de lacrimi si tristi. Mi-au dat lacrimi si am luat mina lui Chet (sotul) ca simteam nevoia de sprijin. Ca si cum ce vedeam nu era de ajuns, ca se ne socheze, cel de 20 de ani la intors cu spatele si ia dat pantalonii jos aratindu-ne multe rani si o iritatie de piele intensa (cum fac babies), dar de o suta de ori mai urita, si parea veche. Pe urma ia dat jos tricoul. Pe spate de sus pina jos era asa de cicatrizat si arata ca si cum cineva a aruncat apa clocotita pe el ani de zile. Pe mijloc, de sus pina jos dealungul coloanei vertebrale carnea era despicata in doua pina la os. Titi rideau asteptind sa ne vada reactia. Eu mi-am acoperit gura cu mina si Chet nu spunea nimic. “Treabuie sa discutam privat desprea situatia asta.” Mi-a zis Chet. Si am iesit din camera ca sa dezbatem ce vrem sa facem, dar pe urma m-am sculat.

Ce parere aveti?

O zi dupa ce am decis sa dam zeciuiala ( pe 19 Noiembrie), Chet a fost platit doua salarii din trecut. Mai este inca un salar  de platit din trecut si doua din present. Dar vreau sa fiti incurajati, sa vedeti cint de bun e D-zeu si el isi tine promisiunile sale fata de noi desi noi nu facem la fel tot timpu. Slava Lui:)

Salutari lui Mihaela H. 🙂
