DON'T COUNT ME OUT!!!!!

Wednesday, March 28, 2012

I ride transportation van to my medical appointment's. From time to time, I see a driver who I have not seen in awhile. They never fell to compliment me on my weight loss success and how well I am moving around now. Today the driver told me that when he first saw me that I could not even fit in the van. I quickly told him that I could always fit into the van; I just took up so much of it. He told me that before he use to think that I did not have very long to live. I told him that, I thought that way too but I had to talk to God about the situation.

I am thinking to my self DON'T COUNT ME OUT. The devil say's NO!!! but my God says YES. He has a purpose for me. So, don't count me out.

    Michelle! You are so right, you are never counted out in my book. I'm so glad that he didn't get you down! You are here for a reason and you won't go any where unless YOU want to!

Take care!

    So proud of you Michelle for sticking with it. God never told us our lives would be easy but He promised to be with us all the way. We can change our bodies into what the Creator intended them to be - healthy and happy and full of joy.
Love you friend. emoticon emoticon

    emoticon Thanks for the inspiration! I remember hearing some similar comments & how they made me feel @ 450lbs. Now at 290 the comments that didn't "kill" me has made me so much stronger. Keep doing what you're doing... And remember: NEVER ALONE! emoticon

Be blessed,
~Debbie

    That's right Michelle! As long as you have breath in your body, you have an opportunity to change your life whether it's about weight, drugs, alcohol, sex or whatever.

    Jeremiah 29:11 declares " For I know the plans I have for you" declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

The Lord Himself has not counted you out and neither should anyone else! Forge ahead!
God Bless and much love,

Your sister in Christ
