Dear Ones, I wanted to touch base with each of you one last time, before surgery at 7 a.m. tomorrow. I am confident that "He who has begun a good work in [me] will carry it on to completion" (Phil. 1:6). I am not afraid, in the least, and oh, how I've been feeling the Lord's presence with me today. I feel your prayers, too, and how precious they (and you) are to me. While I'm in the hands of a top weight-loss surgery surgeon, I am, most definitely, in God's Hands. I know that He is doing a miracle work here. There is a song I'd like to share with you. Now, for those of you who do not care for the more "rock"-sounding instrumentation, I will warn you that this song uses that, but the words are what I'd like for you to focus on, please. It's called "Miracle Maker." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EahkItdu9Y8&feature=related Thank you for all your prayers for me. If you think of me tomorrow and for the next few days, I cherish your prayers. Blessings & Love to All, Lou Ann

GREAT things are gonna come your way....  don't doubt your methods... and if you get some buyer's remorse, just know that we all had a touch of it....  things will be bad but get MUCH better...

I'll be thinking of you...

Thank you for your words of wisdom and your thoughts of me, Thomas. You're always so supportive. I appreciate it. Thanks for your help, when I needed it, to get off the remaining pre-op pounds.
Blessings,
Mary

Mary,  You will be in my thoughts and prayers!  You are in EXCELLENT hands both surgeon and the Lord!  May I suggest going to You Tube and searching for "Revelation Song IBC"  It is my current favorite worship song.  We sang it in church this morning and it is so powerful...pure worship...talk about being in God's presence!!!  Blessings and speedy recovery!!!  Diana

Mary,
Thanks for sharing the song.  I really enjoyed it.  I have all the faith in the world that you will be just fine!  You will be the best loser ever!  I hope that it goes smoothly and you'll be up and going in no time!
Post as soon as you are up to it!  Give Rita aka Crickett a hug for us!
Hugs
