Thank you so much for your outpour of love and support to me this past week through such a difficult time in my life.
My MawMaw has gone home this last Wednesday January 27th to be with our Father. And his Word assures me no more pain or sorrow!!
I Thank all of those who sent cards, flowers, showed up at the viewing and the funeral to surround me with the outpour of just being present, holding my hand, loving me and even going home to fetch things to help my sister out when you didn't even know her (well knew of her via me!). I think we had a room full at visitation of about 7 people who had gastric bypass (maybe 8).
And everyone looked so amazing! My sister and I have suffered some weight gain. Me oh, 30 lbs that I can admit to that is my first step and going off the steriods has dropped me down 12 lbs of the 42 I had gained. I am working and continue to struggle but I have an awesome local support group family and online via facebook.
I also now have a teammate at my work in chat that just had the sleeve done. He is an OH member of a different state and has just began his journey (although been a member here 2 years you know some times getting approval takes time and being informed!).
I certainly give GOD all the praise and glory for putting each of you in my path and for continuing to do so.
I also am so appreciative to those who are playing secret pal who have done such a good job and made it again so enjoyable for me!!! These type of people are the ones who make me want to be a part of OH, lead a support group, and come to reunions.
Christ uses people in so many ways and sometimes it can just be a text message. And you don't have to tell someone you are a Christian it shows in the light that beams off of them in the actions they do by stopping for that split second to make that phone call, write that letter or go the extra mile to say "I love you, I am here". God loves you and he is here. There is a season for everything.
I Thank God for all of you and I Thank Him daily in not just the things he gives me and blesses me with but even on hard times I Praise HIM. It's in those times I've learned the most from.
Jesus said in John 13:7 "You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand"
I have complete FAITH in Jesus he is in total control!
Although I have asked him to tell me why sometimes, I have no doubt later I will understand!!

Again THANK YOU for the bottom of my heart for faithfully standing beside me!!
Continue to keep me in your prayers as I go back to work tomorrow after a short leave.
