a year ago...





Well it's been a year since I had gastric bypass surgery. I think it's safe to say I'm not the same person, physically and mentally. As of today I've lost just under 130 pounds. Which if you think about it, that's a hollywood actress. It would of been nice to have gotten the kinda money she would earn for hauling her around all these years. But to be honest she was high maitenance and I'm happy she's gone. I've enjoyed telling people who I am when they don't recognize me, espically my Dad. 2 times now my Mom and I have had to tell him that it was me. It makes us laugh. This last year has given me such a new joy to life that I had no idea was missing. Everyday I find little things to add to my list of joys and the list is getting longer. The Lord is so faithful, and I am not just saying that to say it, I trully see His faithfulness everyday of my life. Over the last year a lot has changed in the world around us, and everyday we are faced with new challenges, some I couldn't have faced a year ago. But because of His faithfulness I press on. I encourage everyone to look around and be encouraged by how faithful the Lord has been to all of us. I pray that you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving, I know I will, I just have some much to be thankful for. Love to you all.
