RESIST THE DEVIL AND HE SHALL FLEE...

Feb 28, 2009

 Ephesians 4:26 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:
27 Neither give place to the devil... do not give the devil a foothold... give no opportunity to the devil...

Ephesians 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

1 Peter 5:5 Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.
6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
9 Whom resist steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.

Can I get an AMEN…

I feel like PRAISING the LORD RIGHT NOW!!!  Somebody needed to know that the DEVIL is a LIAR!!!

It has come to this… it is time for us to GROW UP… It’s time for us to know that no matter what we say back to someone that can’t stand the grounds we walk on,  the HATE MAIL that they send and I’ll go a little deeper for you… The LIES they tell on the BACKLINE FROM BAF… Let the TRUTH be TOLD… The Bible teaches me in Romans 12:19 "Vengeance is mine saith the Lord!" God did not say vengeance is ours… He said vengeance is His… If we want to be on the receiving end of God's blessings and favors, we have to truly understand what it means to give it completely over to the Lord.... Then in Proverbs 20:22 it says… "Do not say I'll pay you back for this wrong! Wait for the Lord, and He will deliver you." My brothers and sisters that’s POWERFUL… and so shall it be…

I was speaking to my brother on the phone the other day… I told him that when someone says something negative about me… I resend that thing right back on them… I advise you all to do the same… NOBODY knows your struggles… nobody knows your situations… SO HOW DARE YOU JUDGE ME!!! I love who I am and I love who I’ve become… I looked over my status about change… I took a step back and looked at myself… since this surgery have I changed and I have to honestly say… YES!! HOWEVER… It was all for the better… Like it or not…  I am a child of GOD’S.. I will reap the benefits of his blessings…

My little brother DAVID C… I love you man… You keep doing you… Resist the DEVIL and he shall FLEE!! That’s the WORD of GOD… You stand on his word and he shall cut your enemies down like a WEED OF GRASS!!!

But I say to you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which spitefully use you, and persecute you…  It’s time to LET GO and LET GOD…

I am going to say this and mean what I say… I never would have ever believe that a bunch of EX FAT folks would act this way… We have come so far… We out of all people would have the nerve to do somebody so wrong after being treated so bad by others just for being OVERWEIGHT!!!

I’ve always been a good person so some of us may have never experienced discrimination to a certain degree… However some of us have…  This is SAD!!!

“Don’tPushMe… I love you doll baby whoever you are…

I love you all with the LOVE of Christ… Now I’m going to go to church and get my praise on… Let people talk… I never heard of one person who lost their life over he say she say and a whole bunch of lies…

Be blessed,

Resist the DEVIL and he SHALL FLEE

The Storm is OVER...

Feb 23, 2009

I have a message directly from the Lord...
he can move any storm in your life from which they come...
but GOD wants you to know... that your not all alone...
All you have to is stand still and be strong...

The STORM is OVER...
The sun is going to shine...
The STORM is OVER...
I can see the RAINBOW in the sky...
The STORM is OVER...
IT's All OVER... 

You've been waiting, long enough...
God heard your CRY...
So PEACE be still, now DRY your EYES!!!

Greetings and blessings... Some of you have e-mailed me and asked when was I going to BLOG again... WELL today I am blogging... LOL.. After the WONDERFUL/WACKY/WILD WEEKEND  I had... Lord knows I needed to know that my storm is over...  Some one else on my page needs to know the same thing... NO matter how the world looks at you... GOD is on another LEVEL...
GOD will stand by our side when ever one else walks away...
He will listen to our problems that we carry with us from day to day...
I've learned from this- past weekend that people are miserable and that life is so short...
Therefore I won't believe what man says about Vonda, I'll only believe GOD's REPORT...
If your waiting to have surgery or you've had surgery please do what you got to do...
Eat right, live right, pray about your surgery because no matter what MAN say only God can see you through...
No one, at least I hope no one wants to live in pain and shame...
But if you don't use your tool right then baby your the only one to blame...
Although I smile there’s a sense of sadness in my heart that no one can feel but me...
Having this surgery has put a strain on my marriage but I'm OK... I just thank GOD I'm NOW FREE...
This last year has been hard for me and I keep all this stuff inside no one knows my story...
But at the end of the day when it all said and done THE STORM is OVER and GOD get the GLORY!!!

GOD bless you all... NO matter what I say or DO... I love you all...
Keep up the GOOD work... Keep losing weight... Don't allow men to tell you your not SHIT (REVISED) Don't allow ANYONE to tell you your not SHIT... Don't allow anyone to make you feel your nothing but BEAUTIFUL... Keep the FAITH... TRUST yourself... KEEP your SECERTS and your BUSINESS to yourself... REMEMBER the only secret you have is the one you keep to yourself... Have at least ONE friend that you can cry on... (Thanks DONNA) A friend that won't judge what you say or do... A friend that won't get mad at you when you’re in a size 10 and they're still in a 22... LOVE YOURSELF... LOVE YOURSELF... LOVE YOURSELF... Because if you don't I don't care how strong you may think your are you will SETTLE for less then your WORTH!!!  BEEN there... DONE that... GOT the T-Shirt...  Stoop down to no ones level... There are a lot of hurting people and like I said to some folks this weekend at dinner HURT people HURT people...  Simply because that’s all they know... You’re hurting because you want to hurt… Take control of your OWN LIFE… The BIBLE says that a WISE woman build-up her home but a foolish woman breaks hers down… Also remember when you start pointing fingers... please NOTE... you have 3 pointing back at you... JUDGE NOT... Lest ye be JUDGE... Keep your keys... don't allow anyone to have your keys to heaven because you can't FORGIVE...

Therefore... if I said or done anything to anyone to offend them... I'M SORRY... FORGIVE ME NOW... If I die today... I want to go to HEAVEN!!!

This is a very emotional day for me today... But I know... THAT MY STORM IS OVER...

SIDE NOTE TO MY BABYGIRL KERBIE... I love you, I love you, I love you... Thank you for everything... The storm is over now...

 

These are my thoughts… I’m Mz. Royalty signing out!!!

My WORKOUT...

Dec 01, 2008

Hey family... I want to encourage you all to get your workout on for the month of December... There is a 30 Day Challenge that is going on right now... If you have Kim B. on your page you can contact her to get on the bandwagon...  Today I went to the Wellness Center and I think I was over doing it... They had to call the the ambulance... I didn't eat much today and I over did it... I am fine... my blood pressure I went all the way down to 90/40... My heart rate was at 157 and I had a panic attack... I say this to say that... It's okay to want to get the weight off... HOWEVER... BE SMART... I wasn't being SMART today... I really pushed myself harder today trying to have a GOOD end of the year... The funny thing is... I work HARD all the time... At the end of the DAY... I have already done well... There is no need for me to over do it...

So be careful while working out... I don't know who I needed to go through this for but whoever you are... where ever you are... BE CAREFUL... Someone is on my page that is not eating right... someone is also over doing it... I have been fine... I have NEVER in my life went through this and I tell you... I workout out HARD...  So this BLOG is for someone on here...

I think GOD allow me to go through this to write this BLOG...

If any of you know who Vicky Bullet is... I workout at at the same Wellness Center she goes too... She told me that I remind her of herself...

The GOODWILL... A GREAT PLACE TO SHOP!!

Nov 23, 2008

WELL, WELL, WELL...

Another day... First I want to start by saying Thank you Thank you Thank you to all of you who have stopped by my page and showed me mad love... you all are too much... I love you too...

I am just going to go with whats on my mind today so if I am all over the place with this blog... It's all good...

Yesterday I went shopping at the GOODWILL... I went to one in Winchester and then I went to the one in Martinsburg... I got some good deals... I am doing so well and I am so proud of myself... I love to shop but the thrift stores are my favorite places now a days...LOL...

I am wearing different sizes it's crazy... I have some 12's, 10's and 8's... I have some med. sweaters, large sweaters... I tell you... I can't wait until I get my tummy tuck... and start wearing a small... LOL... but know that I know I can shop at the GOODWILL thats what I'mma do...

So ladies as you shop, as you get smaller... remember you should never be to proud to shop at the WILL... It's GOOD... LOL...

On a more SERIOUS NOTE:
Also... If you offended someone today or any other day... It's okay to say SORRY...  I did... I know you all are wondering what I am talking about... let me just say this...

My husband is my best friend... he can get on that nerve though... however I love him more than anything in this world... it's hard ladies when you begin to get smaller and men start paying you more attention... at the end of the day... I ain't going no where... LOL... Ladies... and Gentlemen... Let's be sensitive to our spouses needs... Let's lose the weight and not our mind...  We have to remember that when we were laying in the hospital... They were the ones there for us...

If a man look at me tonight... and I saw him yesterday and he didn't have time for me then... DON"T GO THERE.... 
Ladies and Gentlemen... Be blessed and stay focus... WE ARE LOSING BIG TIME...

Have a wonderful day,
Mrs. Royalty

Greetings everyone,

Just sitting here thinking about all that I have overcome lately...   Thinking about how blessed I have been to be able to have the surgery.  You know something, we take the surgery for granted... There are so many woman on OH hoping and praying that they are approved to have the surgery... Then you have some of us who are on here with Wine GLASSES in our hands talking about how twisted we got last night knowing that liquor is not good for us after having the surgery...

Please note that whatever you do is your business and I am not putting anyone down for doing what they do... But why do we go through the surgery to only go back to bad habits?

My passion for food was scares... I could eat up some stuff... I could put some FOOD DOWN... Now I am learning to love LIFE, MY BODY, MY HEALTH... I am learning to LOVE ME ALL OVER AGAIN...

If you have falling of the bandwagon... GET BACK UP ON IT AND TRY IT AGAIN...

I tell you...  When my Doctor show me the other day he was so impressed with my weight loss... I am down 115 pounds and 6 months and I am NOT FLABBY... I workout almost EVERYDAY... There is no excuse not to do the right thing?

If you are on here and waiting to have surgery... FOLLOW GOOD HABITS...  Know that this surgery is serious... One thing that I learn is that you have to stay focus on RIGHT AND WRONG... you have to stay on OH and check out the before and after pictures and if that won't change your habits... I don't know what will...   I am always looking at the before and after pictures... As a matter of fact that happens to be my favorite...

I may not comment on your pictures all the time... but believe you me... I CHECK on everyone in my circle... I know how you all are doing...

All my family on the loser bench... you all are looking HOT...
For my family that are waiting for approval... You are still HOT... but HOLD on... your time is coming... Be patient... some of us waited for years to make it happen... I have read some of your blogs where you have waited as well while researching and I tell you... It's worth the wait...

I know that I am all over the place with the blog but... I just wanted to get that out there...

I love you all and stay positive...

Chocolate eaters, potato chip hustlers, candy swippers, and fried food KINGS and QUEEN...  PUT THAT SHIT DOWN... YOU KNOW BETTA... LOL...

MUAH,
Vonda

Doing WELL...

Jul 19, 2008

Hey everyone... It has been a while since I have posted anything so here it goes... ALL is well in my neck of the woods... I am down 91 pounds and trying to reach my 6 month goal... I am at a stall right now and I tell you something I HATE IT... When it comes to the surgery this is the one thing that will get you down if you ALLOW IT TOO... I won't allow it though... I am too blessed to be STRESSED...  I have to keep it moving...


I am at the gym everyday... walking 2 to 4 miles and working on the machines like crazy... I have also discovery that using Peperation H on my arms, legs and stomach keeps me NONE flabby... I use the generic kind from WALMART extra strength... LOL....

I work for 17 Medical Providers and some of them laugh because I am so faithful at using that stuff... wrapping up and then I get dress right there at work so that I can go workout after work...

I also walk 2 miles at work with my supervisor...
It's so nice to know that you inspire people to lose weight by your testimony...

Well that is all for now.. be blessed ladies and keep on losing...

Mrs. Royalty

The DUMB Question I was ASKED TODAY...

Jun 12, 2008

Is it true that when people start losing weight after that surgery... do they start acting funny... 
My response to something so stupid is this:
It's not that people who have had WLS start acting funny... I just think it's people like you who can no longer call them FAT... and just made about it...
