BRAG ON IT!!!!!

Hello BAF!!

So ...........what do you have to brag on this week so far that WLS has helped you accomplished?

For me, today I had to create a hole in my belt.....and for the first time in years........it was because the belt was too big instead of too small!

WLS ~ gotta love it!

Come on BAF.........Brag on it!

I use a rubber band to expand the waist of my jeans.   I loop it around the button take it through the hole and look it back around the button,  it gives me a good 2 -3 inches depending on how strong the band is.

Oh,  I guess that really isn't bragging.

 Lee,girlfriend! I damned near fell off the sofa reading this!

LEE!!!!!! You are nuts.................I may have to try that though.

On Monday I bought a size four dress that fits perectly.  No shapewear required.   Its a fitted sheath that makes me look taller even with medium heels. 

I was able to wear a size 14/16 top yesterday

You go girl!

Size 4!!! WHAT!!!! Wow, that is great.

Actually this took place over several weeks, but accumulated this weekend.  I am happy that this week I was obedient to the voice of God.   A few weeks ago, the Holy Spirit led me to pray with a woman at the wal-mart I frequent.  She had been suffering from depression and was loosing hope.  So I prayed with her.  A few weeks later, she told me that things in her life began turning around.   She was feeling so much better and was even going to be a grandma.   I thought "what a powerful testimony", but God was not done with her....or with me.  He led me back to speak with her again.  (He even gave me a reason to go and blessed me for it.  I sold some Mary Kay to another one of the ladies there that day) and when I saw her at the store again, we became speaking and I asked her if she was saved.  She said "no".  I asked "do you believe in God"?  She said "yes" and then the most important question was, "are you ready to make Jesus your Lord and Savior?", and right there, in the wal-mart, this amazing woman prayed the prayer of Salvation and received Jesus into her heart, all the while a long line of customers just watched patiently, never complaining once.

So....I was happy with myself only because I was obedient and listened to God when He told me to talk with her and pray with her AND I was so happy that God used me. 

Praise Him

Great job girl!!.  Sometimes you "know" when God is urging or pushing you to do something & sometimes you "feel", which for me, this means I think he's giving me direction, but I need to "listen" to see what he's saying.  I've been "shamed" in the past several times, when I didn't ask for direction, so didn't do that thing & within minutes, I witnessed someone else do that very thing that I had felt led to do....

So, whether I "know" or "feel" I no longer hesitate, because I know that I'm hindering someon else's blessing as well as my own and it brings me such joy to know that I heard correctly & that HE used me to answer someone's prayer or meet a need.

So here's one of my stories: When I went to Orlando w/my family over labor day weekend, we had planned to surprise my brother w/a b'day party.  Originally I was supposed to go to WDW w/the fam, but knew that the heat would just make me hospital sick, so at the last minute, I stayed behind.  So, I did the shopping for the party & picked up the cake....  So, I'm in Target & I keep literaly bumping into this pregant woman.  So, about the 3rd time, I'm like "Lord are you trying to tell me something?"  So, after the 5th time, I'm like ok Lord if you want me to pray for this woman you have to give me the oppertunity to do so.  Just so happens we end up in the same line & she's one person ahead of me.  So, without any extra exhertion, I'm able to catch up with her outside.  So, I wait until she gets to her car &  I  say "hey mama, do you mind if I pray for you".  She somberly says yes & I pray for her & "alfredo"  & speak over her son's life.    By the time I'm done, she is bawling.    She hugs me & says just that morning she had asked God to send someone to pray for her.    How awesome is God that he met her need with someone who was visiting from another state, who was supposed to have been in another location, but instead loved her enough to answer her prayer.  So, I continually lift Maria & Alfredo in prayer.
