A NEW DAY HAS COME....

Well it has been a week that words could never express. I have felt EVERY emotion possible and cried a 1,000 tears....I have seen the eyes of my beloved mother fill with fear and suddenly come alive in hope and love...Many of you already know the trials I have experienced when my mother was rushed to the hospital last Thursday and diagnosed with brain cancer...When I saw her, I thought all hope was lost but the fight in my mother, the warrior that she has turned into is awe inspiring. She went from unable to speak or recognize any of us to speaking in full sentences and nagging my dad about a myriad of things. She is alive and breathing and we will link arms as a family and carry her when she is weak as she has done since the day my brother and I were born. We have a few options going forward and I am asking for your continued prayers for her healing, favor with the insurance company and overall help with the financial aspect of all of this! CRAZY! God has shown his presence through all of this, in times when I would have least expected it...He is faithful and HIS GRACE IS SUFFICIENT FOR ME! He is the God of miracles and I am standing strong in the arms of His love. Whatever, lies ahead, we have confidence in this "BUT HE WAS PIERCED FOR OUR TRANSGRESSIONS, HE WAS CRUSHED FOR OUR INIQUITIES; THE PUNISHMENT THAT BROUGHT US PEACE WAS UPON HIM AND BY HIS WOUNDS WE ARE HEALED!" (ISAIAH 53:5) AMEN!

So the purpose of this blog is about my weight loss journey. If you recall in my last entry, the doctor said that my water and protein intake were deficient and I needed to make a better effort to get all that in...Well even though I lived in the hospital this past week, I made excellent choices and focused on what the doctor said, It actually helped me clear my head a bit...So I weighed myself and LOST 3 POUNDS! So I guess it is "Oh, this is all locking in now. It is all locking in!" (George Costanza)So my week four total is 20 pounds!!! My jeans are soooo big, in a few weeks, I will be able to take them off without unbuttoning them! Thanks for reading! IT IS A NEW DAY!
