 Hello all, I'm all most done with all of my testing!!!!!!!:), just waiting to get my cpap machine and to do post-op lab work. I meet with Dr Fullum yesterday and we are planning to do my surgrey on SEPT 8th. OH MY GOODNESS!!!! I can't believe it. That's TWO WEEKS AWAY!!!!!! I'm sorry that I'm tripping right now but I will soon be a LOSER!!! who ever thought being a loser would be a good thing. My mom and sister went with me to my appt and they really liked Dr Fullum. That was important to me. Before we got started he thank me for following him to his new location and that meant alot to him. That made us feel good, that he is humbled by what he does and we were really feeling his vibe. Dr Fullum answered all the questions my family and I asked and he really explained step by step everything that was going to happen once I got to the hospital, That really put my mind a ease. He didn't rush us and we even cracked a couple of jokes. He also told me that he wanted my target weight to be 120lbs.WHAT!!! The last time I was that small I was 12 yrs old. I told him that was to small he said 140lbs than. I'll be happy with 200lbs, from 342 to 140 is a big deal to me but God is blessing me with a 2nd chance so if I only lose 30lbs would will be greatful. Well until next time, Keep me in your prayers and of course I'll do the same for you all.

Thank you GOD!!!!! I'm now a loooooooooser.I made through the surgery fine. Thank you to all that prayed for my family and I. I didn't have any pain from surgery other than THE GAS!!! OMG It was the worst thing ever.I only had to stay there over night and I was sooo ready to go home. I did get a little sick durning the xray the next day,(from drinking that stuff).I'm now trying to adjust to my new life style change and to get rid of the rest of this GAS.To anyone out there whose concerting WLS. PLEASE PLEASE do your research.I've read books,4 or 5 support grps and talk to people who had WLS but nothing compares to you knowing what your in store for(as much as you can) and even then it will shock the MESS out you and I'm still learning. I'm a day shy of a week and I had to get on a scale today.I lost 12lbs already. I will never see 343lbs again! Well until next time, Please keep me in prayer as I do the same for you all;}

God Has Kept Me Here For A Reason

Repeat after me: God has kept me here for a reason. I survived because He has a plan for me. All my bad relationships, the addictions, the
consequences, the bad credit, the repossessions, the death of my
loved ones, the back stabbing from my friends, the negative thoughts, or the lack of support; I made it because I am blessed! I release and let go of all past hurts, misunderstandings and grudges  because I am abundantly blessed! I recognize them as the illusions  they are, and sent from the enemy to kill my spirit, steal my joy, and destroy  my faith; For God is all there is. All else is a lie! Now give  yourself a hug, wipe your tears away and walk in victory!!!!!!!! I love you, but more appropriately God loves you BEST!
   Be blessed and know that you are at one with THE SPIRIT OF THE LIVING GOD! And may the Lord  keep watch between you and me when we are away from each other. Genesis  31:49. Amen! Be Blessed "The Will of GOD will never take you where the GRACE of GOD  will not protect you.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!! I hope everyone had safe and blessed hoilday.As for me I'm glad it's over. I went to church for New Years and the msg confirmed what God is doing in my life. My pastor read from Joshua 1:9-11 Title: YEAR OF TRANSITION!!!. now I've been going through some things the last three and half months and I knew that God was doing something in my life but I had know CLUE what. Well if anybody is going anywhere with their walk with God must go through TRANSITION.

1.Preparation= God is getting you ready for your purpose

2.Purge= Cleanse,getting rid of things,people,habits,hurts,attitudes that are keeping you from your purpose.

3.Position= Being in the right place when it's time for God to move in your life.

It blew my mind when my pastor started this word to us (ME).It was very uplifting for me,It confirmed that God has a plan for me and I need to stop thinking about all the hurt,pains,wrongs and rights and focus on HIM!! I pray that God is doing something in your life that right now that is rocking your world because it means that He is getting you ready for your TRANSITION!!

"When you are DOWN to nothing  ... God is UP to something"

Father, in the Name of Jesus, bless me even while I'm reading this prayer and bless the one that sent this to me in a special way.  Open supernatural doors in our lives today.  Save and set free!

Give us a double portion of your Spirit as we take back everything that the devil has stolen:                      
                                          Emotional Health
                                     
           Physical Health
                                                  Finances
                                                  Relationships
                                                  Children
                                                  Jobs
                                                  Homes
                                                  Marriages

I cancel every plot, plan and scheme the enemy has devised Against us in the NAME OF JESUS. And I declare:

                    NO WEAPON FORMED AGAINST US WILL PROSPER.
                    I speak LIFE into every dead situation.  
                    I thank you that nothing is over until YOU say it's over!

I speak prophetically into our lives and to our situations:

                                     
           Our households are blessed;

           Our businesses are blessed,
                                                 Our jobs are blessed;
 
                                               Our children are blessed;
                                                 Our grandchildren are blessed;
                                     
           Our parents are blessed;
 
                                               Our siblings are blessed;
                                                 Our ministries are blessed; and,
 
                                               Our decisions are blessed.

                                           
Husbands are on the way;
                                           Wives are on the way;
                                           Mortgages are paid and debts cancelled;
                                           Our hearts' desires are on the way;


According to YOUR perfect will and plan for our lives.

Quick update..... I didn't lose any weight this week I'm still 272lbs but I'm still cute:). Well until next time.......BE BLESSED!!!

Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me.

Psalm 51:10

 

 

An encounter with God creates changes. Becoming aware of the greatness of

God, is certainly a life changing experience. We begin to see things,

through the eyes, and the heart, of the One that dwells within us. Jesus

is our gift. A gift we have not only received, but one that we share. He

can transform the hardest heart, and fill it with love and compassion. Through Jesus Christ, we become changed. Lasting changes are birthed, from our relationship with perfect love. There is no other power in heaven, or

Earth, that can create such change to a life.

Prayer

Thank you, for the precious gift, of your Son, Jesus Christ. Refresh our

hearts and our minds. Continue your work in us, that we will see through

your eyes, and love with your love. In Jesus name, Amen.

Thank you God for another day! Well I'm feeling a little down lately and I really feel lost. But this too shall past! I got on the scale today and I'm now 267Lbs I've lost 76lbs TOTAL......... 103lbs. That did put a little smile on my face. Until next time........ I pray that God keeps his loving arms are you and never let you go.

Philippians 4:13 --- I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

The road to success is not straight.

There is a curve called Failure, a loop called Confusion,

 speed bumps called Friends, red lights called Enemies,

caution lights called Family.

 

You will have flats called Jobs.

But, if you have a spare called Determination,

an engine called Perseverance, insurance called Faith,

a driver called Jesus, you will make it to a place called Success.
