Hi Myoka,
Hey, I was thinking your surgery is not too far from where I live, and I might be able to be your angel. I'm a bit busy, so I've always been afraid to take on the task of being someone's angel; plus because I only have email access at work, and none at home; but if you can't find one, or if you can tolerate the little time I do have; I will be your angel.
As you take your journey to the inner, and thinner you, remember:
The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance; but the Lord looks at the heart. 1 Samuel 16:7
For I am the LORD, you God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you. Isaiah 41:13
Don't tell GOD how big your storm is. Tell the storm how big your GOD is!
Those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
Isaiah 40:31
I have heard your prayers, I have seen your tears. Surely, I will heal you. 2 Kings 20:5
I'm hoping you have a successful surgery, a rapid recovery, and much success in your weight loss journey.
