Highs and Lows. Hopes and Woes. Dreams and Nightmares. Steady. Alive. Maintain. Flow. Flexible. Held. Supported. Sustained.
Isaiah 40:27-31 (Summarized)
How could you even have breathe to complain?
Haven't you been awake? Haven't you seen all the amazing things He's done?
God lasts.
God energizes.
God knows.
God gives.
And then you soar!
Heart, wait on God, He has new strength to provide for you during this season.
Soul, stand firm. God is the ROCK under your footing. Never moving. Strong. Sturdy.
Mind, be sound. Be flexible. You never know what may seen "undesirable" will reap the most rewards.
Body, you're beautiful. Listen to only loving and supportive words. I am so thankful for you.
God, thank you. Thank you for making our lives flow. Thank you for giving us a steady and firm foundation to learn. Thank you for energizing us when we're weary. Thank you for all the support in the world. May YOU be the ONE to whom ALL praises are towards. All you have done, is better than I could imagine. I can't believe I have YOU living on the inside of me. THAT'S exciting and energizing.

Fueling your passions. Learning from hurt.
As I was reminded of how effortless eating healthfully has become, I was hit with the hurt of why it's become so easy for me. When you mourn the loss of both your parents by the age of 25, everyday still, years later... you FEEL the reminder of why it's so natural today. Even if you're one of the lucky ones, who doesn't know anyone effected by heart disease or cancer, you can still find compassion to mourn over the billions of fellow americans who have been overcome to the point of death by these food and lifestyle related ails. Allowing myself to fuel my hurt into a passionate expression of health and vitality has given me so many priceless lessons, and I now feel sunami strength motivation to be a voice and example of health in my big but little world.
I had this thought this morning, that I found inspiring enough to make me sit at my computer and get it out before my power walk.
Soil. Should be outside and not inside. Contains enough nutrients to sustain life. Pros and cons, just like everything else. But soil. Made up of so many particles it would make our heads spins, has the ability to make a dead seed spring into a sprout and then grow into a tree, that will long outlast as of us. (Respect paid) There are magnificent qualities in this everyday, contrite (and dirty) element. I'm simply mind blown! But, that's not really my point. My point is total human health, and my aim is clearly set on the bullseye of quality and lasting life. Soil, grows our food and if soil isn't intimately involved in what your putting into that beautiful body of yours, it should be reconsidered immediately. Here is my 2 cents, if God himself breathed life into this soil and made our people, human kind, then we should still be closely connected to this element. Sure, it depleted, its stripped of minerals; whatever, I get it. The excuses and arguments are endless of the quality soil our food is grown in the US, but give yourself a fighting chance and do the best to eat from this beautiful earth as you can possibly stand. If you keep fighting excuses to keep you going back to the twinkies and ding dongs, then let your heart break over the parentless children who will go to bed tonight without hearing an "I love you" from their parents. Find a reason to motivate yourself, you're offspring will thank you for it one day.

Beautiful Families
I have seen some of the most beautiful families lately! This is a blog, Idk if anyone else will ever read, but God has been allowing me to experience some beautifully established families lately, and I have to write about it!!! With no dishonor to my own family, actually quite the opposite, I would like to just share my heart about what I view as a healthy, Godly family. First and foremost, I think the best way for me to start this would be to honor my very own flesh and blood. My father and mother. My father was my best friend, and my mother was my biggest fan. What more could I ask for? They encouraged and supported my dancing, advanced education, a good head full of wisdom and common sense. You know what I loved about them? They were fair, and they always equipped me to BE the one who had the wisdom and common sense to offer others. I do NOT remember my parents say thing things like, "hey, you watch and learn from the best." Even though this is a quality I learned later in life, this was NOT instilled in me as a young child. They were my inheritance. If they were both still alive, I am POSITIVE they would be highly involved in my life... together. Together, very much in love. Enjoying their time with their grandchildren. Helping and supporting me as a young person starting out my life in the Lord. I bet we would have Sunday morning breakfast and dinners every week together. I know that this would be us... it was US when I was a little girl. You know what though? I am not bitter, even though tears are falling from my eyes, I am just thankful I came from such a beautiful family. I have never really thought about what life would look like if they were still around, because I just accepted my life as it is without them. But the beauty of their legacy makes me cry. They were bright and beautiful. In love with one another and us. Kind, compassionate, giving and loving the best way they knew how.
One thing I admire about excellent families is their way to lovingly steer their children, even though they go against them. I saw this last night in a friend of mine. I have never seen such understanding and supportive parents! I could see where my friend's frustration would lie... maybe not feeling 100% supported, but I saw the unwavering hand of love from the Father guiding his child's life in the path he knew was meant for a child of his. Jesus, I just love the way you made families! They are so fun and friendly... loving and supportive. Understanding to the most furtherest stretches understanding can go! You do things WELL Lord. I just want to say I love YOU Yehwah! You are the KING of the universe! If not everyone knows Your goodness, I would like to testify of it in my life! You have been wonderful to me! I am so glad and thankful of the family you gave to me. I think about the rich families of the world. Their children are provided for perfectly! Jesus, I am treated the same way, and I would like to treat my children the same way in the physical realm! I love you. I know you have good things in store for the ONEs who love you. Who can stand on the hill of the Lord? He who has clean hands and a pure heart, and who does NOT lift his soul to another." Jesus, I have had dirty hands and have lifted my heart to another. But I renounce it all! I lay down my flesh and my own sinful desires to be known and seen by the KING of Glory! The amount of pressure your glory holds... it so heavy and I want to have the spiritual muscles to contain it ALLL!!! Jesus, I want to practice the spiritual principles you have for your children to live by. Would you fill me with knowledge and wisdom?? I want to be the best I can be for you Jesus!! You deserve all honor, glory and power!! Everything that is mine... you can have it too!!! I love you Jesus!!! SOO SOOO much! Thanks for being so generous and rich in your love for me.
Bless my family!!!
Amen.

What's going on? Bliss.
Here is an update letting my friends and family know what what;s going on in the blissful world of Lindsay Brown. I say blissful because it's a word I would like to see used in reference to God more. Bliss means perfect happiness or great joy, and the only reason for this perfect happiness and great joy in my life is because of the beautiful, powerful and loving hand of God holding my life. I picture each of our lives cupped in God's hands, and nestled close to His beating heart. It's a place of rest, listening to the Father's heart beat!
Currently, today was one of the best Saturday Sabbaths I have had! I've got to tell you, the sabbath day is ALWAYS a joy to me, because it's permission to rest however I want for a whole day! I am so SO thankful to partake in the Sabbath day, but this one was especially sweet and here is why...
The day started, woken up by the sunlight next to my best friend Ryan. I have never seen such beautiful and loving eyes... and to know that they see me as beautiful, lovely and blessed... it was bliss.
Then I got the honor eating breakfast with some of the most amazing people I know at the Kerr's house!! Here are a few things I admire about this family.
1. Sandra is the nicest most loving women I know. She praises her children for becoming women who can cook and provide for their families! What amazing priority she has, and I just admire the way she handles her children and grandchildren. I can imagine them waking up and calling her blessed!
2. Then Gui is such an honest and humble man, full of quiet strength and great love. He honors his wife so well. The impact this couple has had on my life is so awesome... I sure hope her warmth, hospitality, and kindness rub off on me, so I can be that same way with my family!
Oh, I forgot to tell you, the breakfast was like a Turkish feast!!!!!! It was so yummy and the coffee was amazing!! Delightful. Bliss.
The rest of the day was really good too... I could elaborate on every savory detail, but I dont want make this too too long! So, to sum it up, went to the beach and paddle boarded and relaxed. Got sushi and then I think the highlight was waking up from my 2.5 hour nap to chat with Ry for an 1.5.
I've got to talk about him for just a minute. I need to give respect where respect is due. :) This man asked me to marry him one week ago today, and it was definitely the best day of my life. (will post that story later!!) We started dating in the summer, and it's been a huge learning process! One that I wouldn't trade for all the riches in the world, and getting to know this man gets better everyday! I feel more loved every time he shares his heart or thoughts about me. I love his heart to serve Jesus by bringing revival and heaven on earth!! Bliss!! I say to myself, " I am so thankful to be with a man who wants to serve Jesus... I bet if we lived next to the church, he'd be a happy camper!" Really, if there was a few words I could describe him as, I would definitely say he is passionate! Passionate is everything! Everything he does and says is fueled by passion... in all areas of his life. If he has no passion for something, you'll know! :) He's bold and courageous. Not really afraid of anything. Pretty good at everything he tries! I respect him because he knows the truth and aligns himself with that! He respects the Lord in me. He's friendly and loving... not really interested in things leading to death. He is amazing at loving me. Giving me kind words! Lot's of kisses! Fun exciting adventures, his time and attention. Bliss. Bliss from God! There is so much more to say, because i have yet to even touch upon some of our adventures or discussions, dreams ect. But I have to say I am so thankful and excited to spend the the rest of life getting to grow with this man. yes!!!

shaking
There is a whole lot of shaking going on.
I feel it in all areas of my life.
Physically, relationships are continually sharpened and more golden everyday. It's a beautiful thing, and I can only imagine, maybe the Lord is doing something really awesome in the next couple months/years with the closest friends I have ever had! What a blessing to be surrounded by some of the smartest, most beautiful and creative, passionate, encouraging and committed friends I have ever experienced in my lifetime thus far. :)
Mentally, the things I think are so important to the Lord and to me, because they ultimately shape my life and how I respond to situations. I just learned something for Andrew Wommack, when a situation comes, have faith! Don't cry and let yourself be overtaken, have faith and DO NOT LET YOUR HEART BE TROUBLED! This is thhhrrillling.... because any ANY, Im talking ANY, situation, I can respond to in faith. If I get told "I don't love you anymore." I can have faith that I am about to be surrounded by MORE LOVE than I could possible imagine. If I get told, "you have cancer." I can respond with "THANK YOU, now I get to go see JESUS!" If my loved one dies, I will say "hold up! Let's first go see if we can raise them back!" What a life Jesus has for us! It's so adventurous! God, I would like to go on an adventurous life with you! I would like to mentally think the things YOU thing, and see things the way YOU see them. I want to be like you. You're my ONE and ONLY God! ;)
Spiritually, corporately speaking, the Christians I know are plowing into the harvest fields with integrity behind them. God has been showing me much about integrity and grace. I read in Psalm 16 this morning, David was telling God, "Hey God, your way is the best way and I'm putting one foot in front of the other to walk YOUR way. I'm not giving up!" That's EXACTLY how I feel. Actually all of Psalm 16 is how I feel today. Praise You JEsus! I have never been loved the way you love me.
So yeah! Like I said, there is a lot of shaking going on... and I said all the good perspectives, I didn't even talk about the knee shaking scardey cat moments Ive felt! Seriously, some paralyzing fear has gripped me and held me in bondage, but I said "No, this is not my destiny in Christ!" No joke, I was free. True story... I was waiting for my boyfriend, Ryan, at a local restaurant. We had just gotten into a BIG one, one of those fights where words and actions cause tears... very uncomfortable. Nontheless, we got through it, but I was still beating myself up with the thoughts "how can I prevent us from... fill it a gloomy outcome. Then a thought dawned on me. It was almost like God interrupted my conversation with myself to remind me something... Here is what He said.
"Lindsay, I bet your frustrated, and don't know what to do, right? Feeling helpless and picturing an inevitably dull and sad future? Well, baby girl, lover, beauty friend, (I think I added those) do what you want to do. You want relationship rather than being right. So create relationship. So, I started writing him a love letter. It just flowed like the Nile. but I say al that to say, I can't beat myself up, I have to build myself and others up! Build! We are builders! God is shaking thing and breaking the weak and old things off of us, but it's our chance to renovate the existing to the most beautiful place we can imagine. Why not! Why not love even though you feel hurt? Did the person mean to hurt you? Not if you love and respect each other. Well, thanks for reading. Be blessed by Jesus.

Day 3/4
MC update:
Day 3 was great... I actually started to consume some solid foods today, but only fresh and organic. I may so a fresh raw foods diet for a while, and this is really exciting to me for a number of reasons!
1. The health benefits are endless. A raw food diet is packed with minerals, amino acids, and nutrients galore.
2. The energy will also be endless
3. My skin and hair will glow with health
4. Easy to prepare, delicious simple dishes.
5. Hormonal stability
6. Enjoy mental clarity, from a guilt-free and healthful diet
Some downfalls
accountability, I know this is an amazing and healthy diet, but not everyone does... I am hoping and praying for support and comradery when I need it! I want to go strong, and be known in my community as a health expert with a lifestyle that will make everyone drool! (literally :)
I am also really interested in starting a little but of a side business just to help make ends meet. I was thinking legwarmers... but I have yet to do it. Do you think I can do it? I need someone to hold my hand... lol!
Mentally: strong and guiltfree, able to make my way through the mental sludge and think with more ease
Physically: more energy today for sure!
Spiritually: Confident and secure in Jesus' love, where no counterfeit can even hold a candle up to His!

Master Cleanse-Day 1
Today was officially my first day of this years Master Cleanse adventure. What I love about the MC is that it's unpredictable! I have no idea what to expect with THIS cleanse, because each one is uniquely different, designed to fit my personal needs for THIS special season in my life.
Day 1 Overview
Spiritually: Looking for approval and permission from God. Found myself in a desperate spiritual state of internal wrestling between my current state and where I want to me. Conclusion; Jesus + Me- Things= Satisfaction but...
Me+ Things- Jesus= A very sad sad Lindsay. The blog right before this has evidence of my hearts wrestling, if you care to read...
Mentally: feeling alert borderline overactive. Maybe I has too much honey ;)
Physically: Parallels to my mental... plus waves of wanting to chew on something. I am so excited to give my body a rest, and allow it to restore and revitalize itself the way God intended it to be.
Other things: Another thing I am thankful for concerning the MC is boredom. This way, I am forced to meditate, and really face the issues I can so easily bypass when I'm eating. Now I have all the time in the world to confront these issues, look at them, deal with them, and move on. What a cleansing experience in itself.
Some goals for this special cleansing time
1. To give my digestive system the much needed rest it deserves. You've been good to me DS, have a nice vacation, see ya around the 10th!!
2. Apply the time my ideas need to become realities. IE start making the dance DVD a closer reality that will make me some extra money.
3. Developing TRUST in Christ to walk me through this life the way He planned for me.
4. Allowing myself to release toxic emotions, ideas, relationships, thoughts and food from my body, to therefore, create a healthy environment for God's huge plan to flow effortlessly through me. I want to be a clean, empty vessel.
5. To enjoy the heightened sensitivities I will have towards sights, sounds and situations. I am thankful and excited to this. Plus, increased energy.
Plus, there is so much more that could happen that I can't even begin to imagine!! I will try to blog daily, so I can keep track of all the cool things happening, and you can too!
Here is how you can help; Prayer. Pray for my ability to trust God for greater things. A kind of trust that brings Him, the magnificent GLORY due to His Name!
My finances would prosper.
Nursing school would be fertile ground for the gospel, miracles and signs of Gods intense LOVE for His children.
That the next day will be better than the last!
Shalom love
