Spreading it..
on December 26, 2006 10:25 pm

Every time you love, every time you include someone who's lonely, every time you encourage someone who's defeated, every time you challenge somebody who's wondering off the path, every time you serve the under-resourced- it is a sign that the kingdom is once more breaking into the world!!
Spread the love, hope and peace of Jesus!

Today I participated in a prayer fast. I prayed for so many people in need today. I also received so many unspoken prayer requests and people who lurk even sent me private messages.
GOD IS ON YOUR SIDE! HE LOVES YOU!
He answers prayers! HE IS SO GREAT!
I am a friend of God! He calls me friend!

I am home and even though I've had continued problems with my groshon I got to spend Christmas at home! GOD is great and merciful!
We had a great Christmas and we helped out a few families who couldn't afford to do things themselves. It felt so good to share and give what a glorious GOD we have that has continued his blessings in our lives!!
Keep spreading it.. pass it on!!!
JESUS SAVES!!

Update Health Issues..
on December 16, 2006 3:15 am
Well, another update.
I just got home from another stint in the hospital. My PICC line had to come out due to fever and infection. They put in a groshon catheter. It is stitched to my right breast with 4 stitches.
My homehealth nurse has to come out twice a week now. I'm still on fluids at home 24/7. 
I am trying to stay home for the holidays.
My groshon however is looking red so we are watching it and my oldest son has the flu! 
Keeping him away from me!
I am working with my surgeon to get records and CT film to Dr. Freeman so that I might get to meet with him soon! Praying he can help me since he specializes in Bariatrics and everyone has positive things to say about him.
I am trying to stay positive for the holidays.
I miss shopping this year but at least I am home with my family!!
It's hard to believe in a few weeks my trek will be a year! I can't believe it's already here. My 1 year anniversary. What a ride!!
I've been sick, yes, thrown up every day.... but I would do it all over again. I've lost 158lbs and what a difference it's made in my life. My health is so much better, oh I know people think I'm just so sick because I can't hold down food but the SERIOUS health issues are gone. They are keeping me hydrated and nurshied. And with time I just KNOW that I am going to be eating and drinking and all this will be a distant memory.
Keeping standing in faith with me for my DIVINE healing!! The doctors don't have the answers but GOD does!!!
God Bless!!

Update for December!
on December 2, 2006 12:28 am
I know it's been awhile for my update. I got another staph infection and wound up in the hospital on November 18th.
I missed Halloween with my family but my DH took the boys trick or treating and took pictures and emailed them to my cell so even though I couldn't be there. Then I missed my son's 14th birthday on November 4th. But I got to come home on November 7th and spent a few days at home and would up back in the hospital on the 11th of November and stayed a few more days.
I'm now back on home health and have been home almost 2 weeks!
I am so glad to be home and be home for this amount of time.
I also heard from Dr. Freeman from Anniston today and he feels that he might be able to help me. I am getting all my records today to try and get the ball rolling and make sure he knows everything before I go all the way up there (a 5 1/2 hour trip) so that my first consult can be an effect one. 
I am so glad for my friends on the board. I have angels all around me.
Christmas time is coming soon and normally I would be a shopping freak but I'm so limited right now.
Keep standing firm in your faith with me and PRAY, PRAY, PRAY!!
Have a Happy Holiday Season!!
God Bless You!!
