You are right, it is an amazing thing to see how God works in the lives of those that come together in unity, in one mind and one accord.

He said were two or three are gathered in my name I shall be in the midst. What a promise!

God bless!

Now this is what I consider a POSITIVE, ENCOURAGING, SUPPORTIVE post!...what I would expect to find on here in the first place and for the most part is...like others said, if a post does not pertain to you or if what is said is not something you believe in...just ignore or skip ahead! Someone else might really need to hear those words at that moment

I just want to let everyone know that I have read every post that has been made thus far, and will continue to do so.

I truly appreciate all of the kind words that you have posted, I truly and sincerely am praying for each and every one of you on here because I know that's what the Lord wants me to do, even I myself always stands in the need of prayer, after all the Bible does say pray ye one for another.

Even though I don't know any of you personally, I do love and care about you, that's what it takes to be Christ like.

My prayers are that God will richly bless each and every one of you!

In Jesus name..I think this was a heartfelt beautiful gesture unto others. The labor is plenty the workers are few. Prayers in spirit and truth are needed sooo much today now more than ever. Praying for those specifically regarding this procedure is comforting...we put so much faith in the Drs surgeons etc but the Lord is the true SOURCE...with all that being said....I pray your continued strength and covering in the Lord as you go forth doing the greater work. LET THE LORD USE YOU MY BROTHER IN CHRIST....stay obedient to the Holy Spirit.

God bless you, and thank you for your prayers and kind words, it's good to know that I have a sister in the Lord like you. I believe that you are genuine, because as I read your post I could feel the Holy Spirit bear witness of it.

As I read your post the Lord brought a certain Scripture to my mind, I will share it with you.

Matthew 25:31-40
31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:
32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:
33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

May the love of God richly bless you my sister.

This morning I ask that we lift up in prayer my BARI bud Ellie123. She will be undergoing RnY surgery at 1 PM. CST in Dallas Texas. She is the mama of 2 little ones,,6 and 7 years. Pray for peace for her 7 year son, he is very worried that things won't go well for Mama. She is a beliver trying to live a life of victory daily, her fearbe witness day by day in her life. She is just 40, yeah young enough to be your kid or mine. So Lord Jesus guide her today. Sooth all her fears, let her go to sleep secure in the knowledge she is GODS CHILD, let her surgeon's hands be strong steady and sure as he performs this surgery, may she awake refreshed and calm, may her pain and discomfort be small, may her recovery be smooth, may she be granted a l9nger life to love and serve you daily. I humbly ask this believing in the promise where 2 or more believers are gathered, there YOU also will be. Watch over this Lamb, Gentle Shephard, for she truly is of your Flock. And to you all honor, glory and praise given Amen and Amen.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
