I love OH and the resources they provide for our pre and post weight loss journey. I invite everyone to read and share with me and my family the ups and downs of being overweight and dealing with it a positive way!! I am a born again Christian and I enjoy the benefits of being one of Christ's children. I encourage all who do not know him to give him a try and I promise you the reward is GREAT!!! I am new to the weight loss journey but I know I have and will meet some friends that will share this walk with me and we will be each other's support. 
I have one minor request that if and when this profile is read; please say a prayer for me and my family. Thanks for visiting me and I will see you soon!LOL!!!!!!!!on October 24, 2007 7:25 am

Greetings to all,
I would like to take this time to say thank you to all that have visited my blog and for all that continue to pray for my family and I.
Life has not been the bowl of cherries I have wished for but I am still trusting in God's grace and mercy. I have one more peice of the pie to eat ( pysch test) before all information will be submitted to my insurance company for approval. I am trusting in God that all will be approved and I, too, will be on the LOSER'S Bench soon. 
As for the update with my husband's health. He is healed in Jesus's precious name. All has been well with him and I am so thankful. He has been released to return back to his job. God is good!
But as most of you know, when God starts blessing the devil starts messing. After all that we have endured, we have yet another hurdle to cross. But, I am here to serve notice on the devil that I am geared up to run this race 
with God's speed and patience. I have come to far to turn around and I will not. We were blessed to be able to get approved for a new home, so that is some wonderful news I would love to share. 
I feel that every trial that we as a family endure is just a step further up the ladder. When you began to climb higher and higher in Christ Jesus, trials will come. The bible says, Jesus will not leave us nor forsake us and we as christians must believe and hold strong to his word. I often feel as if my testimony of ups and downs, is a shadow of light beaming through a cloud for someone who is going through and have no feelings of relief. I look at each experience (good or bad) as a lesson learned and as a required piece of the puzzle to make a final picture! 
So, I encourage all who are experiencing trials as myself to look towards the hills from whence cometh your help. Jesus is still alive and well and he is performing the impossible each day! Prayers are being answered and strong holds on God's people are being released! Please continue to seek God for all your answers! I am somewhere where I know I do not belong in my life but I am trusting God for his deliverance. My family and I will be living proof of God's annoiting to release and deliver! Until next post, continue to stay lifted and encouraged! Remember all things, big or small, God is able to do!!! Please pray for my family!

Well, let me start off by asking all of you a simple question, have any of you loved someone so much (besides GOD) that you could not imagine life without them? That is how much I love my husband!!
He and I have known each other for so many years that living life without him being a part of it would be hard for me. I know God is able to see us through everything but reality is I would be devastated without my sweetie, Dashon. On Friday September 14,2007 I experienced almost losing him and I was a wreak! It was determined a couple weeks ago that my husband has sleep apnea and he also had very large tonsils that needed to be removed so he could sleep better at night.
So on last Friday he went into the hospital for outpatient surgery for his tonsils to be removed and ended up in intensive care. Yes intensive care!!! My husaband also has had open heart surgery, that caused him almost not to awake once he was put under to have his tonsils removed. The doctor came out and informed me that he had not awaken from them putting him under and they were waiting for him to awake. He also informed me that he would be placed in intensive care because of his breathing! I was so devasted and hurt.
I felt like my world was coming to an end, my husband and I are best friends and we share life together with a passion.
I kept asking myself how could you go from just talking to someone to them not being able to respond at all? I knew God was able and I knew he was a believer as well. I begin to call my parents, the prayer warriors themselves, and we begin to lift him up to God.
He is the apple of my eye and the king of our castle:) I pray and ask all of you to continue to pray for me and Dashon, that we both will have a long healthy life.
That is okay by me, because I feel that if I get sick that one time I will not do it again. I hate to be sick. He also put me on a diet that restricts your portions of food and get you all ready for portion sized meals. I am excited and I will need everyone's encouragement b/c I know how weak I can be when it comes to sticking to a diet. 
Do not hesitate to fuss at me if I am doing wrong... I deserve every bit of chewing out I will receive. 
I have to have a psych. test and a EKG done...after that they will submit all information to my insurance company for approval. I pray for the approval in the name of Jesus because I know he has all power and if we just trust and believe, he will provide!
I am telling all who do not know Jesus, you do not have a clue what you are missing!!! I am a living testimony! I will keep you all informed on the dates I will go for my EKG and psych. test and we will see what happens from there. As always stay in prayer and always let God direct your path. I will continue to pray that every person who visit my blog be blessed and I will ask God to give you understanding to all things that are not understood.
!!! I am so excited and I would like to take this time to say Thank You Lord Jesus for this blessing I have received on today. I will forever give your name the glory, honor and praise! Amen!
He was frustrated and so was I, the bills were piling up and we had no income. But God!!!! Things started to look up:) I received a call from a temp agency that wanted me to work at this University as a receptionist only Fridays and Saturdays. How could I say no...I had no job! I accepted and weekends went to week days and in May, I received full time with benefits.
So I am now starting my weight loss journey for Lap Band. So all readers please pray God's speed on this process and pray that all will work out.
