Is this true Yoga? Yoga is not compatible with the commands of God, not to serve idols.

Hey, not really appropriate. This poor lady has gone through so much, encourage her, show your love to her don't make her feel bad about herself!

Yes I agree that it is something that should not be done, but there is a time and place.

HELLO TO ALL MY CF FRIENDS. THANKS FOR PRAYING FOR ME.

I haven't been here in a while. For several years I tried to be a friend, a minister, and a help to others. I wish so much that I could do that again. Maybe soon.

In the past 7 years I have had 4 major surgeries and on a separate occasion I had an undiagnosed lung infection, and my oxygen was at 55% when paramedics came. I spent 7 days on a ventilator/life support. When I woke I had a hypoxic brain injury from the length of time without sufficient oxygen.

My body is literally falling apart. I have severe complex degenerative disk disease which has almost cost me the use of my hand. I've had 3 spine surgeries/fusions and 8 disks replaced.
My shoulder and hip get regular shots until we need to do those surgeries. I'm only 51!!

Nine years ago I was running 3 miles 3 days a week; going to yoga class twice a week and using small weights.

Each surgery has required a minimum of 12 to 18 months of recovery - each time. As soon as my body was healed from the last surgery, I was being scheduled for the next one.
Just 5 weeks ago I had unexpected surgery to remove ovarian cysts the size of a honey dew melon and a grapefruit. They did a full hysterectomy at the same time, took out my appendix and another surgeon repaired a hernia.

It's far from over unless a miracle of healing comes. I love the Lord no matter what happens to me. I don't try to understand why... I just know how He saved me and that is enough.

I'm going back to my surgeon next week - good lord.

I have started thinking lately that it may not worth living if I end up unable to ever regain my health. I cannot live knowing I can no longer contribute but be a burden to my husband who has been wonderful to me. I know these thoughts are probably not rational but the chronic pain has a way of opening up a whole new set of ideas.
I'm on morphine, percocet, gabapentin and medical marijuana. If I were not able to get these drugs for my pain, I would just leave it all behind.

I want to feel better. I need to feel better. I want to be my old self again.

PLEASE PRAY FOR ME WHATEVER THE LORD PUTS ON YOUR HEART. THANK YOU EVERYBODY. I LOVE YOU ALL SO DEARLY AND MISS GETTING ON CF LIKE I USED TO.
Live on knowing that 1 day it will be all gone.
Prayers with you

Strange how one can mention going through all this pain, yet there are a few who can look for and find something bad in the message, and have to point it out.....

You can give your body to be burnt, but without charity....it will profit you nothing.

Long term opioid use caused health problems including brain damage due to a dangerously low concentration of oxygen in the blood.
The Effects of Opiate Use

I took a hydrocodone after a difficult tooth extraction. The dentist said the molar had curved roots. He said it was his most difficult extraction in six months. The hydrocodone made me sleepy. I did not take any more of them after that one. I got 40 oxycodone tablets after a bladder stone operation and did not take any of them. I read books by nutrition specialist doctors. The kidney stones stopped after I changed to a gluten free diet of less animal protein and more plant protein. My skin cysts stopped after I switched to a gluten free diet. Six percent of Americans may be sensitive to gluten. My weight level is in the normal range and I feel healthier than when I was ten years younger. I thanked God for healing information. If I practice bad eating habits, I will be sick again.

Hello, Should we not speak the truth in love? Do we make enemies by telling the truth? If a loved one is doing something that is harmful, do we not tell them? A boil heals if it is lanced.
Proverbs 27:6 Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.
Proverbs 27:9 Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart: so doth the sweetness of a man's friend by hearty counsel.

If you want to speak the truth then send her a private message, after you have sent your empathy. I see very little love in how you do not even show any sympathy for this lovely lady, not giving any comfort and immediately begin to accuse her, absolutely ridiculous.

By your words you make her feel bad about herself, not a very loving thing to do. I understand where you are coming from, but you are approaching it very harshly. Stop trying to pretend that blaming her does anything good. Stop that act right now. Now is not the time.

I was destined for spinal surgery about seven months ago (discectomy, spinal fusion L4-L5, L5-S1) but heard about a man named Dr. Stuart McGill, a back rehab specialist, running a back research lab out of the University of Waterloo in the province of Ontario in Canada. It turns out he's the foremost specialist in his field in the world! In any event, he put me on a regimen of back exercises that have made surgery totally unnecessary! I could barely walk when I began his rehab plan. Used a cane. In constant pain. Exhausted. But now, well, I can see myself returning to near-normal function. Maybe he can do something for you.

God always has one thing we know He's working toward in all we face: He wants us to be more like Christ. (Ro. 8:29) Our pains, and losses, and sorrows God will make a means of refinement and transformation, if we'll let Him. I don't know about you, but it was easy sometimes to be engulfed by pain and forget that even when it really hurts I have an opportunity to become more like Jesus. Without this goal before me, the pain was just useless, pointless pain.

All I said was stop doing yoga. I don't see harm in that. But I agree, maybe I should have said it to her privately. But, maybe what I said can help others who may be reading. Plus, You don't know how it made her feel. I have friends who have been sick who were doing yoga. When they stopped, they were healed. Shouldn't children of God KNOW that it is harmful to their health not helpful?
Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

This lovely child of God came here for help.Sometimes medicinem tastes bad, but it does much good.

Yes, I am sorry If I came off as rude myself, I just don't want people to get hurt.

severe tinnitus (so loud that nothing can mask it).
I have problems with that due to fluids building up in the ear. I have to yawn and move my jaw around and do all sorts of stuff to get the little tube to drain the fluid out of my ear so the ringing will go away.

I believe God can do reconstructive miracles above and beyond what the body is able to do on it's on. The really good part is HE promises us that all things work out for the best when we love God and are called according to His purpose. I sure do question what we have to go though. But we know God is able to do abundantly above and beyond all we can think or imagine.

Let us gather around our sister SingPeace brothers and sisters, in the spirit linking hand to hand cirounding her as we pray:
'We come in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and we declare all that concerns SingPeace to be in and on Gods ground, His will be done, His Kingdom come and we bind that what has taken ground to kill, steal and destroy! We break all agreements know and unknown that SingPeace (or anyone else) has made with these. We ask for healing body and mind, and we ask for encouragement in Spirit, that she would burn in her heart even greater with love for God, and will rejoice and bless all -though she be inflicted! That the enemy would flee as she sings to God all her day and live in Peace! amen.
