Topic: To encourage my friends
Hello my friends...I have been studying 2 Thessalonians for our Women's Bible Study and came across this quote....thought it could encourage each of us as we walk this WLS journey.
If you want to be distressed - look within.
If you want to be defeated - look back.
If you want to be distracted- look around.
If you want to be dismayed - look ahead.
If you want to be delivered - look up!
Now for those who know me...looking up isn't to see the stars but to call on the One who made the stars. God Himself.
In His love and grace,
Joan McDonagh

Topic: RE: Monday WOW moments
A friend's Mom saw me this weekend and told my friend I was "skinny" (I'm not but hey I'll take it LOL).
My size 14 jeans are baggy and I'm wearing a regular size xl top today.
I was sitting on the floor playing with my new puppy yesterday and all of the sudden I realized I was sitting indian style on the floor. I couldn't tell you the last time I was able to do that!
Wow... three WOW moments in 2 days They're just coming on like gangbusters lately!
You are all doing wonderfully. Congratulations on your WOW moments!

Sue, I will put your mother and your family in my prayers. That was a really wonderful thing for your mother to say.
Take care and keep up posted.

Topic: Please keep my Mom in your thoughts
My mother is ok, but she is in the hospital. It seems that she was experiencing chest pains early Sun morning and did not want to wake up my brother, sister or me and took a cab to the ER. She was admitted for observation. So far all her tests have been negative for a heart attack, but they are still testing. They are erring on the side of caution which my sibs and I are fine with.
So please keep her in your prayers that all will just be a scare for us.
I think there is a picture of my mother and me in my album.
On a side note, my sister came to the hospital to visit my mother yesterday and we have not seen each other since the summer. My sister and I have a rocky sort of relationship, but we've been trying to get closer this year. She immediately told me that I look just like my mother, whereupon, my mother said to me, "wow, I never realized I was so beautiful!" I thought that was such a sweet thing to say!
Anyway, thanks in advance.
