just thinking about 12 days from now
on January 30, 2008 9:40 am
I am sittng here at work and daydreaming about the change I am about to go through.  My quality of life is about to change and with that will come a new confidence.  I have always had confidence, but now I am about to look the way I always have felt.  I know that sounds rehearsed, but I have always had this high self esteem.  What am I saying?  It is by the grace of God that I am afforded this second chance at life.  I am so blessed and highly favored to be given the oppurtunity to reverse the abuse I put my body through.  I know that this body is the temple of the Holy Spirit and was a gift from God for this short moment in time, but even in knowing that I ignored it and did whatever I felt to it.  But GOD,  only a faithful God would erase your mistakes and never remember them, would give a second chance to a person that doesn't deserve it, would hold and destroy the had of death and allow decent health to prevail over HBP, strokes, heart attacks, kidney disease, diabetes and many other life threatening diseases.  Jesus is worthy to be praised, from the rising of the sun to its setting I will bless the mighty name of Jesus.  If it was not for him on my side and every person on this sights side where would we be.  I am truly happy that I chose him and I am privledged that he accepted me in my sick state of body, mind, and spirit.  I would pray that all would accept Him as their saviour and acknowledge his existence,  but the word declares that won't happen.  But, If, you can see where I am coming from and you are in need of a change( outside of WLS).  Try Jesus and accept him in your heart.  

I feel better, I had to offer Christ to anyone who doesn't have him.  If you know him you know that this is what we are suppose to do.   And if you are reading this and you are reading this far down, it wasn't an accident that you clicked here.  As always I pray that the God of my salvation and the lover of your soul will continue to bless and guide you through this journey called life.  Stay strong and I am so happy for each and everyone of you.   Holla at ya boy.

cleared by all but one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
on January 18, 2008 7:46 pm
peoples what it be?  today i went to see my cardiologist for the 3rd time this week.  I had to take a stress test because of my high blood pressure and they found a slight thickness on my heart wall which is common with HBP.  Nontheless when they did the test they found out that my heart functions perfectly and I was cleared.  Another blessing and 1 step closer to surgery.  The only thing i have left is my labs and i will call monday to have that set up.  Tomorrow is my birthday and i am so happy that this is my last fat birthday.  I have decided to get down to 205-215.  i desire to be streamline and being a big man is so overrated.  i am truly tired of carrying this mess around.   something else i found out was that i have thyroid that only operates at  12% efficiency at it's best which explains my insane weight gain in the last 3 years.  i would have waited to find all this out later if i wasn't going through this journey.  wls is saving my life already.   i will blog later.  but know that i pray for everyone on this sight daily and to my friends on here and those that will become may God Bless and keep you is my prayer.

I got my date!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
on January 7, 2008 5:04 pm
GOD IS GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111
Holding true to the theme of '08, my year of New Beginnings is really happening.  I went to see my surgeon today and they gave me my surgery date.  FEBRUARY 11, 8:45am it is going down.  I am about to be on Loser road.  I can't wait.  My wife is excited, I am excited and once again God has made a way of escape out of this world of obesity.  I can imagine that many of you have felt what I feel and I must say outside of being filled with the Holy Spirit, getting married,  and seeing the birth of my baby girl this is the greatest feeling of euphoria I've ever felt.  I can't stop smiling and when the weight starts to come off I'm sure it will get wider.   You know you hear people speak of blessings, but to be walking in the midst of one and watching it play out and all that I asked for come into fruition is such a dynamic spiritual experience.  I have a few more appointments to go through before the big day and then all is in my hands to get maximum results.  I hope to hear from some of you and anyone that paruse through my page.  Don't hesitate to give me some pre- surgery advice on things I can do to make it better.  Until the next time may God bless and keep you is my prayer.
