3 months & 8 days out

Nov 06, 2009

I jumped on the scale this morning it read 265.2  I'm on my way YES!!!!! This journey so far has been kind of bumpy but I would not change a thing . I have lost a total of 35 pounds and  a whole lot of baggage. Its funny to me how this surgery has caused me to really look at my life and how in the past I allowed people to treat me as if I was a no one. I thank God for starting the healing process from so many years of hurt. He is so good to me Its like I have found my voice and I no longer allow people to treat me with disrespect or try to make me feel like I am lesser than . This year so far has been filled with some great things. I am just great full that God has given me another change to get things in order.

One of the hardest things a Christian has to learn is to rely on God's ability and not our strength…our own sufficiency…Relying on self has to literally die…God tells us to put our trust in Him…We may be having problems…God tells us to seek Him out…Prayer is communicating with God… we can enter into the very presence of God…We can take our failings…our problems…our fears…our needs…any troubles or trials that beset us…and seek God…and He promises He will be found and will answer us…Praying is actually talking to our Father…who holds all the to our every need…our Mediator is Jesus…The fears we have…the troubles we may be experiencing…seem to get stronger more menacing in the dark…in our minds…God directs us to bring them into the light of His presence…"Cast thy burden upon the Lord(Psalm55:22)…God tells us over and over again…"Be not anxious"…He wants us to put our trust in for Him…Look to Him for all our needs…As we seek first the Kingdom of God,and His righteousness…in other words as we pray…talk to God in Jesus' name…as we rely on our Father's ability ..on our Father's. strength…we see the hand of God working in our lives…He opens up the way for us…He makes the paths straight for us…He guides us…He leads us in the way we should go…He answers our prayers …He takes care of our needs…Don't worry about fancy phrases…or fancy prayers…Just seek God out…talk to Him ,really tell Him what is on your heart…tell Him of your joys.. .your problems …the things that bother you or whatever is weighing you down…Hand everything over to Him…seek His answers…prayer is a form of praising God…(Psalm145:18) says, "The Lord is nigh unto all them all them that call upon Him." Amen
