Health and Healing Heaven

I was born in right in the heart of the country, in Robin Hoods’ very own home town of Nottingham in May 1978. I grew up on a small council estate called Bestwood that boasted one church, three schools; infants, primary and secondary, one pub, a handful of shops and a few playing fields. I left my childhood home on my sixteenth birthday, not for any other reason than to experience ‘real life’ as ‘proper grown up’. I did various jobs for a year not earning too much and then at 17 I started my 14 year career as a professional model. It was around this time that I started to take an interest in good health and began to learn how to take the best care of myself so that I could keep a figure good enough for modelling. After a year of research and two years of cooking for myself, I decided to go vegetarian. Within a matter of around six weeks I noticed I had more energy with my new diet than I’d ever had before and my skin was clearer. My all round health went up a notch or two and I never looked back. I would never touch meat again and let it clog up my system. No way. It was gone forever, and good riddens too!

Around this time I started to grow spiritually and began to diligently seek after God. I tried just about everything but I preferred eastern philosophies so I took up yoga, meditation, and tai chi. After six years of practice I knew that I had gone as far as I could in my present state and that I needed to make further changes to my lifestyle if I wanted to continue moving forward. So at the age of 24, to really get my body cleansed and working fully optimized I took the next step and became vegan. I got myself some good vegan cook books and this time, well within a month it was amazing how much healthier I was and my energy levels were greater than they had ever been. Yoga practice then became far more advanced and my body was running at its best. The whole time I’d been working on my body, Jesus had worked on my spirit and I was truly beginning to see the huge changes that without fail, being a born again Christian brings about.
Smoking was a habit I just could not seem to break. I tried many times, but always ended up starting again, more to the point; the times I did manage to quit were always a great struggle and smoking seemed always the only thing on my mind. I would fight it as long as I could but I always ended up lighting one up again.
That was until the day I asked Jesus to help me quit. I tell you plainly and honestly in full truth that the day that my husband and I looked into each others eyes and said out loud, something like; “Father, give us the ability to stop smoking now, today. We thank you for Your help, in Jesus name we pray, Amen” When we finished our prayer and declared it ‘done’ in Jesus name, we both had complete and total faith that it indeed was ‘done’ and taken care of. And the truth is – It was. From that day to this, neither one of us has so much as had a puff of a cig but more importantly we never ever, not even once, got a craving for one, and that was Jan 2006. Glory to God!
