Salvation In Christ

Only God can save…through His Mercy, Grace, and our Faith in His Son-our Savior. ("You believe in God, believe also in ME." Christ in John 14:1)

Plant the seeds.
Water as often as you, or someone else, can
I may persuade you-but only God can convict you and change your heart.
IF I persuade you-someone else can come along and persuade you differently.
Faith in God is the essential soil needed for a seed to take root. If you are searching for truth-you will find it. Jesus said, "I Am the Way, the Truth, and the Life…" Believe on the Lord!


Christ taught the people:
 “A farmer went out to sow his seed.  As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up. Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.  Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants.  Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop—a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown…..Matthew 13:3-8

I thoroughly enjoy researching subjects such as nutrition, medical concerns, exercise, healthy eating plans, and holistic health. I believe in Christ as the ultimate Healer and the Giver of our given responsibilities to care for our bodies in every aspect.

I have more than 30 years working in a hospital setting as a Registered Nurse, and have traveled to more than 20 countries working in the mission field and on vacations. My work and travel experiences have given me the insight and desire to help others in their search for fulfilment, to thrive under a healthy lifestyle, and to find spiritual guidance through following the Leadership of the Holy Spirit of our Creator.
Life is meant to be lived abundantly and with joy unspeakable. I will help you answer your questions and help you search for answers-as we seek together.
 Be an advocate for your life and choices. Make wise decisions, having done all to be informed.

I will pray for you!

Enjoy Life to the Fullest!
A Healthy Lifestyle is a Choice We Must Make To Live Life Abundantly.

Christ said, "I Am come that they might have life more abundantly..." John 10:10


"I have told you this, so that My joy may be in you, and that your joy may be complete." John 15:11

In the Old Testament we are given lists of foods to eat and those that were forbidden. Our Father and Creator knew that pork was extremely high in fat and cholesterol. He also knew that exoskeleton seafoods are high in cholesterol. Of course, we are no longer under the Old Testament Law, but when the scientists of today discovered that the foods of the Old Testament were, in fact, bad for our health, it seemed that they had 'discovered' something new.
As King Solomon said, "There is nothing new under the sun."

I love certain seafoods just as much as anyone, but I encourage you, no matter what you choose to eat or drink-do so in moderation. Choose wisely.
We are allowed to live in these 'jars of clay' and these tents that are our earthly bodies, but let us remember that we are the Temple of the Holy Spirit.

As Hippocrates said, "Let your food be your medicine, and let your medicine be your food."
Long before Hippocrates-
Our Heavenly Father gave us perfect paths to walk-let us walk worthy of the responsibilities we are given.

In Y'shua Messiah,
Sue

CROSSING The Street-by Sue C. Weaver

Psalm 3:5

"Trust in the LORD with all your heart; and lean not to your own understanding."
When we are older we often look back to our misty-covered memories as though seeing through a dark glass. No one understands where we have been nor what we have done. Songs reverberate through our minds and trigger images of long-past days.
We gaze into a rose and breathe in its fragrance, once again memories flood like crystal rivers splashing through the fiber of our being. Words can't describe, looks can't convey, stories go untold, pictures unseen, love not understood in its depth.....life goes on and memories continue to flow unchecked.

Only God knows our heart and soul. In the elderly-time has stood still, youth still reigns in the heart and mind....only the body reveals the long roads traveled by way of lines in the face, bent backs, and slow steps. Never judge a book by its cover!

"I'm Just Sayin'!!"

   I've always loved studying and researching nutrition. During my years in Nursing School, we had a wonderful Professor in Nutrition.
His name was Dr. Meyer. One of his most memorable lessons was actually an opinion he held firmly.
"IF you eat a balanced diet, you should have no need for supplements."
I agreed with him.....until I was diagnosed with a little- known, little cared- about, type of colitis-Lymphocytic and Collagenous Colitis, many years later.
    From 1999, when diagnosed, I used my education from nursing, nutrition, pharmocology, biology, anatomy, and everything else I could possibly use to research ways to live with this horrible blight on my Energy, GI Tract, and Life in general......not to mention many unmentionable aspects of that life.
     In my heavenly Father's grace and mercy, I have been able to continue working in my preferred setting (hospitals) for more than 32 years, travel to Twenty countries, write five books, and exercise to my heart's content, work with the IMB (International Mission Board), spend amazing times with my family, friends and church family, and just plain old LIVE!
     Ok, I have to get down to the nitty-gritty of this post. It's all about the confusion people MUST feel about the conflicting information running rampant in this world.
     
       I'm Just Sayin'
     
       Drink Coffee-it's good for you!      Don't Drink Coffee-it's bad for you!
       Eat Eggs-they are good for you!     Don't Eat Eggs-they're bad for you!
       Drink Soy Milk......no wait! Don't Drink Soy Milk-SOY is Bad for you!

       "Eat More Chikin' "           No wait! "Chikin'" is full of antibiotics, steroids, hormones, and        pesticides!

       Drink Red Wine........Don't Drink Wine!

       Use Mosquito Spray......No! Mosquito Spray contains Deet-a toxin!
       Flouride is Good for your teeth.......No! Flouride is a Toxin!!
       Brush your teeth after drinking soda.....NO! Brushing your teeth right away causes gum disease, dentin, and enamel deterioration!
       100% Fruit Juice is Good for you....BUT don't drink it-it's bad for your teeth and your weight!
         Eat fruit! No wait-fruit has toxins on the skins, in the pits, and seeds. 
         Wash your fruit with vegetable detergents! No STOP-never use detergents on your fruit, they contain harmful ingredients!
          Of course, I could go on and on and on. The list for every study that is pro, there is another study for con for just about everything on the planet.
           I, personally, have come to the conclusion that I must be vigilant, eat with serious moderation, find what works for me by trial and error.....and my heavenly Father has carried me thus far and He will finish the work He has started in me....and like Queen Esther says in The Book of Esther; "If I perish, I perish!"
            Now, for that small glass of O.J. ....wait about 30 minutes and brush my teeth with sugar-free, flouride free, titanium dioxide free tooth paste! 
             With all those pros and cons floating around out there, I plan to live smart......don't believe everything you read! Pray for me and let me know how I can pray for you!!!
                                                      I'm Just Sayin'


"Let your food be your medicine-
And let your medicine be your food."
            Hippocrates

Long before Hippocrates, our Creator gave us a list of foods that were forbidden-
He did that for a REASON-To Keep us Healthy. I'm Just Sayin'......

Yours in Christ Alone,

P.S. 
I plan many future posts about controversial issues in the "I'm Just Sayin'" format......look for upcoming posts and get involved-comment or send me your own "I'm Just Sayin'" thoughts!
 

Too Much Trust For Online Purchases-Back To The Local Merchant For Us!

For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged; and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. Matthew 7:2

I have dealt with Amazon for years-I mean years! I've always had a great relationship with all of my purchases and reviews-I actually love doing reviews!
 However, at Christmas my husband and I ordered a travel duffle bag that our son-in-law wanted as his gift. We chose a really nice-looking, durable bag for only $70.00.
As it happened, Jim, our son-in-law, didn't need to use it until last week (February). He was on a business trip, flying from Pensacola, Fl. to Miami, Fl.
The bottom fell out of the new, first-time used bag! How embarrassing for us when we were told!!!
To top that humiliating experience-we notified Amazon that the bag had fallen apart the first time it was used. The company, "Little Bags Planet" a seller through Amazons website.
      Their response is essentially:

We're sorry, but the purchase is outside our 30 day money back/exchange limit.
Now, I would strongly suggest to all who purchase any sort of travel bag that you walk around two or three hours as if you're in an airport, on a train, or travelling somehow. Pleaes fill your bag to the proper weight, and make sure it's not FAULTY, Before 30 days.
IF your travel plans are outside the 30 day limit-please be prepared!
       The seller also sent an e-mail asking for photographs-which we are prepared to send-however-again, the seller of this faulty/defective product sent the request through an e-mail that we were unable to reply....mail undeliverable!

I tried  to post THREE reviews on Amazon-very politely explaining the concerns and issues-they refused to post ANY of the three! (BTW, I've posted many reviews on Amazon and many at their request-but now I'm feeling that if a review is not positive-it's not wantedonce I was even asked to remove an unfavorable-though very well and respectfully written-review because "It made the seller look bad."-so to be "Nice" I removed it at their reqiest)

I have to admit my first one was clean, truthful-yet a scathing and angry review. toward this "Little Planet Bags" people- I changed it and the third was sweet, very polite and respectful-yet Amazon still denied my review post!

I'm so disappointed with Amazon as well as "Little Bags Planet" In fact, my husband and I are so disappointed that we are planning to close out all accounts and not use their services again.
It's sad, because we've had such a good realtionship-us buying, them supplying......but guess what? There are hundreds of services out there who are more reliable and will honor their customers.

To me, if you have never failed your responsibilities, pay your bills, are honest to a fault, are loyal to your supplier-as we have been to Amazon over the years, you would THINK they could at least return the favor and honor their responsibilities to the long-standing customers!

I honestly have desired for such a long time, the days when we walked into our local merchants and purchased our products. I understand the busy lives we live these days, but I am determined to shop locally-now more than ever!

In this past year-perhaps, because I'm getting older, but I've felt more intensely, the injustices along life's paths, and it bothers me more and more. Life is tough all over the world, I'm feeling the need to simplify, to cut back on the stress that society's ills thrust upon us daily.
I plan to make all my purchases LOCALLY!

I am looking for that city, whose Builder and Maker is God!
Your Sister In Our Beloved Messiah,

New Book On the Horizon-by Sue C. Weaver

Friday, April 24, 2015

Dearest Friends, Family, Brothers and Sisters in Christ;

I’m planning a new project for a book. I truly need and want your help!

What I need and pray that you will do for me is very simple, but will take a few moments of deep contemplation and then to jot it down and e-mail or private message to me on Facebook!

After attending the funeral of a precious brother in Christ, yesterday, I began to think ‘you know, so many people have their own idea of what their ‘mansion’ in heaven will be like! My departed brother’s wife stated to me that hers, she hoped, would be a country home.

Throughout my life, I’ve often said, “heaven will be fields of beautiful flowers, trees, streams of crystal waters, fragrances and colors beyond our human imagination!”

Men often say it will be streams of trout, fishing, and other things they love to do.

I would like for as many as are willing, to send me YOUR vision of your new ‘dwelling place’ or mansion in heaven!

Beyond the streets of gold and gates of pearl, in addition to being with Jesus and loved ones-HOW do you envision your own dwelling place for eternity?

I would prefer that you list your name, city, town, or state, country, etc.

I would like you to just say a brief bit about yourself and know that it will be published in an e-book.

You may make it is brief as you like, or pages, if you like.

I would prefer that you write it just as you’d like me to print it. I will proof-read for you, however, so not to worry about that. IF you want to add something before I get it finished, just let me know and I can copy/paste it and get it ready.

I would like you to insert that you permit me to use it.

I give my permission for this story of my visions of my heavenly dwelling place to be used for the purpose of publication by Sue C. Weaver

My vision of heaven is……………(insert your paragraphs, pages, etc. here….make it as brief or as long as you like!!)

You may also add your favorite scriptures, your own poetry or prose, words of encouragement to others, etc.

Use your most Vivid Imagination-it’s a small part of what God gave us to use!

Signed,

Sue C. Weaver

You may e-mail me: lilysue1@live.com

989-853-1024

Thank you so very, very much for helping me out with this project! God bless you eternally! He is preparing YOUR place!

P.S. ANY vision that you may have is appropriate. You are simply expressing your heart. You have the mind of Christ, and God created us to have an imagination. Let us use that imagination to give others a small glimpse of what heaven could be like!

You can also add your favorite scripture, poetry, prose, or words of encouragement! This may take some time for me to get the project complete-but it'll be well worth it. I pray that I'll have many outstanding and very vivid 'visions' of what people's personal home in heaven will look like. We all know that Jesus is the focus-it's ALL about Him, we also know that He loves to give good gifts to HIS own children and wants us to be blessed beyond our wildest imagination when we are there with Him for eternity.

 Love you in Jesus!

 I'll be looking forward to your 'vision'!!
