" A FAIRY TALE, AND A WONDER or MIRACLE?"

    "SNOW WHITE THE FAIRY TALE"

Once upon a time... there was a lady who had a very bad "poison" in her, Snow White had eaten an apple that caused her to fall asleep.  The dwarfs built a glass filled box so she could be carefully placed, waiting for the Prince to save her life. And when he came, his kiss filled her with the spark, to kill the terrible poison.  And they lived "happily ever after".

"Snow White" is a very well known and cherished Fairy Tale.  But I have a real story to share.  It is just as cherished.  After you read it, you may decide if it is to be called a "wonder" or a "miracle".

A year ago, there was a lady whose brain MRI revealed a tumor.  Now this was no ordinary tumor and became what they call "Idiopathic" or unknown causes when the pathology report was done.  After her "gifted" Dr. Ricardo Hanel, removed this tumor, the brain developed a very bad infection since the lady had what is called an "auto immune disease".   This bad infection was called "skull based osteomyelitis of the left temporal bone".

At the beginning of treatment, the lady found out that something called hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBOT) was available.  Dr. Hanel sent her to ,Dr. James Allen, her "gifted" infectious disease doctor, and he contacted the specialist of HBOT to start the healing treatments.  This was to be a total of 40 days or 8 weeks in all, along with antibiotics for an intended 80% completion of cellular bone healing.  She, like Snow White was placed in "glass" for every one of these treatments.  Strange as it may seem, the name on the front of this "chamber" is SECHRIST...or as many like to call it..."see Christ".

THE HYPERBARIC CHAMBER FOR A HEALING WONDER

THE LADY WAS CAREFULLY PLACED THOSE 40 TIMES.....

At Baptist Medical Center in Jacksonville, FL, this lady was faithfully and securely taken care of by her nurses and doctors.  Now you could say that they were her princes and princesses, but God has His own name for them.  He calls them His children, whose "gifts" He has given, and watches over them, while honoring His healing Purpose in their lives.

Just like the fairy tale, this lady breathed in a spark, (oxygen).  The huge difference is that she is not in a fairy tale, but is the writer here of His continual blessings in her journey. Today, her many doctors are saying that this rare disease has been healed.  The lady is gratefully thanking God for His continual mercy.  This was His time of  healing, for His "purpose" under the Heavens. 

Ecclesiastes 3:1 - 3:3

¹ To every [thing there is] a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

² A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up [that which is] planted;

³ A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;

SAYING GOODBYE....TO SAY HELLO AGAIN

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQn_a6fc1Og&index=30&list=PL4A2B54B268D57207

 Acts 1:6-8

6So when they had come together, they were asking Him, saying, “Lord, is it at this time You are restoring the kingdom to Israel?” 7He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or epochs which the Father has fixed by His own authority; 8but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth.”

The Ascension    Acts 1:9-11

      9And after He had said these things, He was lifted up while they were looking on, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. 10And as they were gazing intently into the sky while He was going, behold, two men in white clothing stood beside them. 11They also said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come in just the same way as you have watched Him go into heaven.”

We are shown this so many times...”the goodbye to say hello” again.  The seasons of Creation show us the sleeping of the land, the time for a short “goodbye” towards Winter until Spring comes joyfully giving us a “hello”.  The caterpillar spins itself for the short time of “goodbye” until suddenly it bursts open with wings to fly lifting the “hello again”.  The ice of glaciers frozen solid in their “good bye”, slowly melt to give the waterways a new ripple of water, in their “hello again”.

I used to say to my daughters when they became teary eyed upon leaving them at their school...Mommy must say “goodbye for now”....and then later I can say “hello again”.  They would smile, knowing that I would be there later.

Our days end is one filled with a cataclysm “goodbye” of the sun setting, in colors of His rainbow...the night is lighted by His stars awaiting the promise of the new day.  The “hello again” is His bright sun rise in the morning full filling our new day of joy!

Working at Hospice and helping those whose loved ones have died...I remind them...everyone will need to say “goodbye” to be able to say “hello again”.  Somehow, this brings them some peace realizing the truth of His Promise.

John 14:2-4   JESUS said....

…2"In My Father's house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you. 3"If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself, that where I am, there you may be also. 4"And you know the way where I am going."

Read it again...His “goodbye” to say “hello again”.... “Jesus, who has been taken up from you into Heaven, will come in just the same way as you have watched Him go into heaven.” 

He went as a lamb...He will return as a Lion.  He will say “HELLO AGAIN”!

NAIVETY....A BEAUTIFUL AND RARE GIFT

Matthew 18:3 "He said unless you "change" and become like little children....you will never enter the Kingdom of Heaven."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPjljSC_1XE&index=9&list=PLa_0rl-N6O8iOBAplPqWtrZsSnuMPXt5T

NAIVETY......my thoughts have been encumbered by this word since last night...and “yes” to some extent I admit to being “naive”.

So looking this up...I found something that is similar to my own understanding of “naivety”: This was written by www.naivety.org...   I pray they do not mind my sharing it in my own notes...but giving them the credit for what part I feel compelled to show here.

“But I think it is unfair how naivety is taken hostage, as something that is always bad. Naivety is a beautiful and rare gift – present in every child and few adults.

For me, and the dictionaries, naivety is synonymous with being unsophisticated, lacking knowledge, be natural, intuitive, trust full, instinctive, open-minded, and imaginative. It follows, that such a mindset will get everyone in trouble at some point. It will fill your heart with love, betray you, take you down endless dead ends and waste your time over and over again. I have had countless disappointments in life already – as a result of naivety.

Yes, naivety can be our best friend and our worst enemy. I do not think we can control it, but maybe we can understand it. Perhaps we should just accept that naivety enriches our life in unpredictable ways – for good and for bad.

Our desire to avoid disappointment is dangerous, since that always involves a certain mistrust to naivety.”

So where do the Words of God take me to this....????  I would liken it to something Jesus said: 

Luke 18:17
Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it."

Matthew 18:3
And he said: "Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

The thought of being naive opens up a “treasure” of sorts.  Idiopathic comes to mind here, because it is the “unknown”.  So in being naive....there is also an “idiopathic sense”.  If the treasure of hopes and dreams cannot be opened by a tender touch, then what do you suppose would happen?  NOTHING!

After my prayers this morning, I searched for other “music” that is being brought to date.  Other spirits searching to help this darkened “world”.  Are they naive?  I hope so! I hope and pray we never lose the “child like spirit” within us to open His Promised Treasures in Heaven.

Children bring the most promised part of “unconditional love” we can ever hope to experience in this world.  They don’t know the differences of color, creed, politics, theology, doctrines.....what they do know is the needs of their hunger, their thirst, the embrace of hearts, the smiles, the laughter, the tears and the “whisper” of harmony in life. The word "greed" has never entered their mind or heart.  I do believe Jesus wants us to know this “harmony of life”, that is the reason He Created us! To Worship Him unconditionally in Love, freely and openly given.  That is why He said we must be like “children”. 

Naivety....think about it...so much can be opened if only we let His Love come through us like His children, we are created to be.  I am so glad He changed me...I love Him like His little child....Oh, How I Love Him!

Please call me naive, because I know ... He loves me!

THE "SENSE" OF OBSESSIVE LOVE IN HIM

    HIS PATH OF LOVE CONTAINS HARDSHIP WITH HIS GRACE

The crux of changes in me, came the day I heard the Dr. say, "You have a brain tumor". I say it was a "crux", only because, God had been on a "back lash" in my life.  Now, He was letting me know,40 years was far too long to have kept him there.  This new journey was His Plan, and now I can say almost a year later...Thank You Father!  Thanking Him for bringing me back to His Love and Light through this change of my life.

Now, many will say that your neurological sense is either controlled by the scientific cells or it is God's creation of us is in His control.  The experience from the beginning of my treatment began with Doctors stating the "essence" of His Creation of us.  My family and I had prayed for the "gifted" Doctors we needed to contact.  His answer was to change a forgiven messed up me.

Can we really be too obsessed with HIM??  According to His Word, the answer is "no".
 Matthew 22:37 and 38 "Jesus replied: "Love the Lord your God with ALL your heart and with ALL your soul and with ALL your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment."

I have been reading "Crazy Love" by Francis Chan.  He is a pastor and takes the Bible seriously.  This book has helped me to understand better, the changes, the Lord has been making in me.  I love Him with all my heart. We are but a "wisp", His Plan for us, His children, has meaning for His Glory. As this author says, is what I have experienced from some; "You're crazy." "But I can't imagine devoting my life to a greater vision."

He has taken this "broken vessel" along a path to teach His greatest Love of His Son's perfect Gift.  Jesus laid down His Life for the imperfect me, through His Perfect selfless Love.  Grace...His Grace, that saved a wretch like me. It is not just about me...oh no...it is for All of His children.  He wants me to share this Love of His.  Forgiveness ...His great part of His Love...

It takes us to John 3:16 "For God so LOVED the World, that He gave HIS one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him, shall not perish but have eternal (everlasting) life."

YOUR NEW DAY OF LIFE...A NEW PAGE...HOW WILL IT BE WRITTEN

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24spuXYeFKY&index=2&list=RDvu2E2FUcIiE

Lyerly Neurosurgery Hospital, the special "view" from my healing hospital room...joan

Luke 4:20-21
"Then He rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant and sat down.  The "eyes" of everyone in the synagogue were fastened on Him. He "began" by saying to them; 'Today....this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing'."

HIS page written for His Children's New Day of Life Eternal!

(Luke 4:14-17)
Jesus went to Galilee in the Power of the Spirit.  He was "teaching" in their synagogues and everyone was praising Him.  In Nazareth, on the Sabbath Day, He went into the synagogue as was His custom.  He stood up to read, and the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to Him.  Unrolling it, He found the "place" where it is written:

Isaiah 61:1-2
"The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor.  He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from "darkness" for the prisoners (the blinded in Hebrew), to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor and the day of vengeance of our God."

Luke 4:18-19
"The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because He has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor.   He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners (the blinded in Hebrew) and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor."

His Words, His Written Pages!  They are not "new"... Our pages are newly written everyday...how can we write them?  Bind up the brokenhearted with love and joy.  Share His light within us through His Spirit freely given, and the blind will see, as He says, through His Sovereign Spirit.

This new day, I met Erica and Robert.  A daughter who so loves her father, Robert, she is moving her family here while he fights to "heal" from Waldenstrom's, a very rare disease.  Robert and his wife were advised to remain close to Mayo Clinic through his next treatment process.  He is showing me some of the 'stripes" of his body towards healing, and then covers it up again. He is hopeful, he is in pain and some dreariness.  Yet, I still see his light shining.

I could not help but shed some tears when Erica looked at me, in a clear sight of knowing what she needs to do. She has brought her two little girls and her husband here, far from home to help.  She left her job, she has established a new school for her daughters, and I stood in amazement.  She did not cry...she did not look for anything but support in prayer.  So, I cried for both of us, and held her close in that precious moment.

He has been helping me write a "new page" today...even in my own thankfulness of the newest brain surgery success.  Three days today, and I was allowed to finally wash my head again.  To take away the impurities and ask Him to heal me again.  My own family is keeping me in prayers...and in this I ask our Lord to give them the strength to understand "my page" of today.


And HE SAYS>> "I AM"  ....HOLDING ON TO YOU!!!

IT'S NOT ABOUT ME....IT'S NOT ABOUT YOU....

Philippians 2:1-4

“Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from His love, if any comment from His love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind.  Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit.  Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.”

I have been in much prayer about the forgetfulness in my own heart…towards the path of His guidance.  So many times He lovingly approaches the tender turn saying…”It is NOT all about me…It is NOT all about you….It is ALL about US in HIM!  We cannot “shake” the truth of His completeness in us.  To what end? His Purpose, His Will, the very reason for His Creation of us!

Then, a bit more of a thought came as this to my heart…praying it means something as much to you as I asked Him to humble my spirit to “get it”!

Not All About Me….Not All About You

By Joan Pfeiffer

You share the same love with me,

I share being in one spirit with you.

We share His completed “joy”,

His tenderness and compassion too.

The all about me and all about you

He has graciously and  lovingly replaced…

His ambitions are values above us,

Being shared as One embraced.

It is Him, it will always be Him. Perhaps I should say the Trinity, but that again is the “ONE” in HIM!

The "Walk of Memory" just one part of bereavement support at Wolfson Children's Hospital in Jacksonville, FL.  Please read a little more from the attached link of the many areas included to help parents and family in this "tear drop" time of their lives.

http://www.wolfsonchildrens.org/programs-services/support/breavement/Pages/default.aspx

When I was at the “Walk of Memory” today, Sunday, October 12, 2014, there were so many who shared with me about their child or children who are with Him.  This brought His “oneness” again and again!  So very blessed to have been given the opportunity of being there.  Listening to the love, compassion, understanding; they “knew”…about being embraced as ONE in HIM!  So many hugs, kisses, tears, laughter; the light surrounded this compassionate and tenderness given.  When I left…I felt as One embraced!

"LET'S TAKE AN INTEREST IN OTHERS"

Brandon Marshall, five-time pro wide receiver, shared his personal story with mental illness in a public service announcement at Sunday's Jacksonville Jaguars game as part of Baptist Health's Let's Talk campaign to raise awareness and stop the stigma associated with mental illness. ‪#‎mentalhealth‬ ‪#‎mentalhealthjax‬

Philippians 2:1-4
"Is there any encouragement from belonging to Christ?  Any comfort from His Love?  Any fellowship together in the Spirit?  Are your hearts tender and compassionate?  Then make me truly happy by agreeing wholeheartedly with each other, loving one another, and working together with one mind and Purpose.  Don't be selfish; don't try to "impress" others.  Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves.  Don't look out only for your own interests; but take an interest in others, too."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3IrwujyAJ4

Truly this is my heart's desire!  Praying with Him asking to help me keep my eyes on His Purpose.  Not to totally focus on myself.  He is healing me or has already healed me to the extent necessary through my continual treatment.  The trust is where I am, to those special Dr's he has provided.  There are so many others with needs for Him.  So many, that it would be fruitless or pointless if not for all of us working together with "one mind", "one heart"; for His Purpose.

I ask him to remind me daily after requesting forgiveness for my own sins; to keep on serving as He bids me to.  He helps me not to lose heart; His heart and mine are bound together.  He has taken fear from me and replaced it with confidence to provide His Joy Everlasting!
