6 Years Out

Dec 22, 2014

Testimony: In Tears! - Today marks a very special day in my life. It is the 6 Year Mark of a New Life that God blessed me with. I have been living my new life and I almost forgot the date until my support group forwarded me this pic saying "Happy Surgiversary" You are still a loser:)....I began to cry. I remember facing death, ending up in the hospital time and time again because my blood pressure was so high I was at stroke level and even then it was hard for the Dr to get it down. My insulin levels were off the chart and I was gaining weight like never before. I did not know what to do. I have always had confidence and even in this obesity crisis I had not lost this part of me but i lost peace and health. I remember saying, I am too young for this. I am not ready to die yet. Why is this happening, I am not a bad eater or anything. Why, Why Why? I went into my prayer closet for three days straight and I would spend hours not moving until I felt led to move and finally I heard his voice "Just like the one needing a transplant, you need one to" I chose life and opted for the Gastric Bypass. It was the best decision I could have made for me. I still have a battle but it is not close to what it was prior! Now I am confident that the anointing that God has placed on my life, I can truly carry it because my temple is in order for His perfect will for my life and I am so eternally grateful! I love me and God loved me enough to give me peace about wanting a new life and trusting him to work through the hands that would help me get it. To God be ALL the Glory!!!!!! I don't look like what I have been through!
