Danelle Ice the Minister, Evangelist, and Prophet of God

My name is Rev. Danelle Ice and I am an ordained minister, non-denominational born again Christian, child of God, and lover of Jesus.  I was ordained as a Christian minister of the One true God in 2005. 

 

Out of the many other things I do, the most important is my service to God as a minister, evangelist, and prophet.

 

I was called to focus solely on the Lord’s work in November 2009 in Fairbanks, Alaska.  Through a series of divine revelations, my Earthly work has been spelled out for me by God. 

 

“The Spirit of the Lord takes hold of certain persons (patriarchs, matriarchs, judges, kings, prophets, wise men etc.,) and by bestowing on them special powers, enables them to act as guides and master interpreters in the world, of the will of God;”

- THE JEWISH ROOTS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT by Lea Sestieri

I have been blessed with many of the Lord’s wonderful gifts, including:

• Prophecy (by dreams, visions, and dictation)
• Discernment of spirits (the ability to see and know spirits unseen to others)
• Divine Breath (in Hebrew “ruah”, or “breath of God” and “qol” or “voice”)
• Casting out demons (deliverance)
• Being a strong channel through which God speaks by the Holy Spirit’s writing with my hands.

• Teaching / preaching /speaking engagements

I Told My Husband, “I Need a Blog…”

I remember back in the early days of blogging, before going pro.  Before branding our first site and starting the network, before doing PR and being a brand ambassador, before traveling for companies and conferences, before doing reviews and hiring writers, before working on writing books and coming up with side projects constantly… yes before all of that, there was 1 important difference from now:

 

I had time to blog!

 

I told my husband last week, “I have so much to post.  I think I need a blog.” 

Of course, he laughed at me and indicated that somewhere in our blog network I could find a place to blog without launching yet another new site!  Before our flagship magazine Home Ever After became a magazine, it was a cute little blog called Homemaker Barbi.  That was where I blogged in the beginning.

 

Our journeys evolve over time, and much of the time end up looking nothing like what they were when we started out. 

 

My friend, Barb Chasteen from the Forever Neighbor, is at the beginning of her blogging journey.  She gets to choose a direction and blog towards it and see what her site is going to grow into.  Talking to her about her blog brings me back to those young days in the blogworld.

 

I remember those early days of wondering why I was blogging and what I had to write about.  Most days were filled with doubt that anyone would read what I had to say – that is, until about 3 weeks later when the traffic started pouring in.  I’ve been lucky and unlucky in the years that followed, with huge successes and huge failures. 

 

However, I’ve had to scale down at times and say no to things.  Scope creep is an amazing and sneaky trick- your responsibilities and endeavors can grow wildly if left unchecked.

 

Balance is a beautiful, if elusive, thing.  Now, it’s time for me to make a little time to blog every now and then too.

23 Pounds in 23 Days - Day 2

{Important Note: The challenge is unexpectedly over! I’m disappointed to have to postpone the weight loss blogging, but you’ll understand why when you read about it. You can find out why today on Home Ever After: Best Mother’s Day Present in the World – I’m Pregnant! }

Total weight lost: 2 pounds

I’m Going to Lose 23 Pounds in 23 Days!

I started this project on 5/8/09.  I want to lose 23 pounds in 23 days, just in time for a big promotional event (which I’ll be announcing on Monday).  This challenge will take me back to my pre-pregnancy weight, and a little further back to my contest weight.  I want to be slim and trim, not just so I’ll look good on TV, but so that I look the way I feel, the way I look to myself in my mind.

 

I used to be an amateur figure and bodybuilding competitor, before I was injured in a car accident and had to stop training and competing.  Here’s a picture of me in the Northern Lights Classic, waving to the crowd after my evening posing routine:

I love those pictures!  I look at them and feel proud of all the hard work I put in at the gym, even as a mom (with only 1 child at that time) and working full-time in a health care facility during the days.  I’ll be using photos from that competition as my motivation to lose the fat during the next 3 weeks.

 

My normal weight during those days was 97 pounds, and for my competition weight I had to be able to weigh in at 100 pounds.  I am ready to get back there again!  (Before you scoff at the number, please keep in mind that I am a very small person- I’m only 5’1” tall, and wear children’s size clothing! 

 

Weight loss is something I’m an old pro at, since being very heavy as a teenager.  My highest weight as a teen was 155 (Only 10 pounds lighter than what I weighed when giving birth to my son!)  I lost the extra weight it and kept it off for years until my last pregnancy.  Now I’m ready to lose the pounds again.

 

Starting Weight: 120.4 pounds

Goal Weight: 97.0 pounds on May 31, 2009

 

I will blog my eating habits (food and drinks), as well as my exercise activities for each day.  Don’t forget about the weigh-ins! I’ll be doing those here as well. It helps to have some public accountability.

 

Please bear in mind that I am NOT encouraging anyone to attempt this crash-course in weight loss with me.  This is NOT a healthy, gradual approach as should be taken under normal circumstances.  It is my hope that you’ll be able to look at the clean eating choices and workout regimen I implement and put them into your own routine in moderation, a little at a time.

 

Feel free to cheer me on or ask questions in the comments.  I’m going to need all the encouragement I can get to stay on track and stop carbo-loading!  Wish me luck!  The first progress report will be posted soon.
