It's been a long time since I've posted.
I had my one year surgiversary on May 22, 2007. I've lost about 130-lbs!! and gone from a size 24 down to a size 10 and counting! PRAISE GOD!!!!!!!. Feel free to check out my recent postings to catch up on all the details.
OH and my OH family has been such a blessing for me. I am so thankful that someone told me about this site over 4 years ago when I started my journey.
I have so many new happenings going on in my life right now. A year ago, I never would even think of doing any one of these things--let alone all at once.
First, I decided to go back to school. So I enrolled in Kaplan Univ. online classes. I plan to earn my Paralegal Studies degree. (Yeah for me!
) Secondly, I started my on travel business and website. It's called The Perfect Touch Family Travel. It's a great way for me to enjoy more traveling and get paid while doing it. I've always wanted to travel more and now I think I can go more places and do more with this business. We're also struggling to keep our home. Yes, we're a part of the thousands of new home ownerss who got cought in the current mortgage/financing crisis.
But most importantly, I have been trying to maintain a positive mindset regarding my husband, Bill's cancer. It seems that his pain has increased tremendously and he seems to be in constant pain. The prescribed meds don't appear to help ebb the pain levels much at all. My heart aches every time I see him in so much pain and knowing there isn't much I can do to ease his pain. I am asking all of my OH family and friends to include both of us in your prayers. Start a prayer chain via emails or messageboards. I truly believe--no, I KNOW-- that our God hears all prayer and the prayers of a righteous man availleth much. He is able to do exceedingly and aboundantly above all we could ask or think. So I am placing 150% of my faith and trust in the Lord, Jesus Christ. Bill and I will no longer worry or be fearful throughout this test. Whatever the outcome, we both know that everything works together for His good, His purpose and His glory!! HALLELUJAH!!! AMEN!!

I am new to the site, having surgery on Wednesday. I will definitely include you, your husband and your home in my prayers. Don't spend time worrying about it, I know you have claimed the desires of your heart. Just hold on to the faith that he has already taken care of it. I am an oncology nurse of 21 years so I know your heartache and feeling of helplessness to ease your husbands pain. Just trust and believe that he is Lord.
Aime I want to thank each of you for the prayers on behalf of me and my husband. I truly believe in the power of corporate prayer. Thank you also for the congratulations on my weight loss. It has been a wonderful journey and I know that I will never forget where I came from and I plan never to go back to that place in my life. I feel as though I've been set free from a prison I didn't even know I was in. I keep my pre-op photos to remind me and to keep me humble. Arrogance can be your enemy if you allow it in.
Thanks again and I pray the Lord's blessings be with each of you.
coG627,
Reading your post reminded me of the following scripture I came across last week while preparing a sermon:
Isaiah 41: 10: Do not fear, for I am with you, do not be afraid, for Ia m your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my victorious right hand.
These words are forever planted in my mind. You know sometimes you read a scripture during your study time and when you read it at a later time I it meant to provide promise, hope, encouragement as well as a reminder that God is with us.
Welcome to Kaplan -- I graduated with my BS in Paralegal Studies May of 2006 and am continuing on pursuing a Master's in Criminal Justice. If you have any questions or concerns -- just send me a side email and I'd be more than happy to help in any way possible.
And you are so correct --- EVERYTHING WORKS TOGETHER FOR HIS GOOD, HIS PURPOSE, AND HIS GLORY! Go ahead and get your shout on!
