Biggest WOW ever!!!
Drum roll please...this is my biggest "WOW" yet... I have gone from being "morbidly obese" to "obese"; to "overweight"; to... HEALTHY/NORMAL!!!
I have never been here, and am quite frankly overwhelmed by it all! From 246, to 135... and just in time for my 1-year post-op appt on Thursday.
That's right! My surgiversary is this Thursday, Sept. 4th! I'm not sure that Phelps felt any happier or proud of himself on the stand receiving his Olympic gold medal(s). I feel like I have wanted this at least as bad; that I've worked at least as hard; and my achievement is just as HUGE!
And none of that is to take any of the glory away from God (and He knows that!) I never could have done this in my own strength --- but through Him (or rather, He through me!) It was in my weakness that I was made strong! It was His wise and gentle guidance that led me to Dr. Spaw... that brought such wonderful support into my life (that's right - YOU HAVE BEEN USED BY THE ALMIGHTY!) And I know that He will be just as faithful to keep me on this "additional" straight-n-narrow! My path within my path, so to speak.
I marvel at what He has done in my life...
