who are you living for?

This weekend was jam packed! We were having an Easter carnival on saturday and a service that night, followed by 3 services on sunday.
We had been praying for 1000 people to come to services over the weekend; the Lord provided... we had 1,077!
We had also been preparing for 1000-2000 people for the Easter carnival, although final numbers will never be known, we had around 7000 people! 53 people accepted Christ! It was intense.

Did i forget to mention that we were dropping over 15,000 candy-filled eggs from a helicopter?

It was amazing to see so many people! More importantly to get to show them the love of Christ. We had games for all ages...three-legged race (there is an ambulance in the back.. a think a lady went into labor and we had a few people "pass out.")

and 7 inflatables

I was originally incharge of popcorn..until the machine broke, as the line was growing :( BUT, casey, me and steph still had a great time!

So i ask, who are you living for? There are only 2 options: God or Satan. The amazing thing is, you get to CHOOSE!

I can say that it is amazing to be apart of something that is so much bigger than me, to become close to Christ and actually hear him talking to me!
I <3 you Desperation Church!

How Many Pounds?

( started this like 12 weeks ago, life got chaotic ... let's pretend that it is March) So, Leap Day 2016, I entered CRMC (with my amazingly supportive moma) and registered in the pre-op area. This day came sooner than I anticipated, but again...The Lord has His timing. For those of you wandering (and that did ask) no, I was not nervous. I wasn't nervous about the other surgery either. It just felt like it was the next-step (shout out to my new friend Ben, who is having his VSG as I type). I believe that the Lord covers us in a calm, when it's something that it suppose to happen, when whatever it is, is part of His plan. And sometimes His plan is crazy town. Yancy was my pre-op nurse and that sweet soul prayed over me before they took me back. Thankfully, I don't remember a lot once I got into the Operating Room. I do remember seeing Phillip, Justina, and Blake. They are all familiar and calming faces. Then I woke up in recovery, only slightly nauseated (YAY Phillip). ...

Who said no?

If you read my last post, you would know that I submitted a claim to my insurance company for them to cover a Panniculectomy, and they had denied it. WELLS I am thrilled to share that they ACCEPTED my appeal and I will be having surgery on Feb 29th. This again ties into the thought that the Lord has perfect timing. I had peace that this surgery would be covered, I just didn't know when. And just for good measure, the photo on the left was taken in October, when I was four months post op. The photo on the right was taken this morning, and I am eight months postop. I am still right around 276 pounds. I feel comfortable with that because I know that I'm gaining muscle from working out consistently. Love Y'all big! Sara

One year already?!

Can you even believe it?! I cannot. June 5th was officially one year since I underwent VGS (vertical sleeve gastrectomy). It was surely life changing. By now I hope that you all understand the HUGE MASSIVE GIANT role that you played in my surgery. I am forever thankful. This post is going to list some things that have changed since surgery, some of which you may not understand, if you have never been over weight... and a lot of photos. 1. My highest documented weight was 364lbs, I currently weigh 250lbs. 2. I wore a 4x or 26/28 prior to surgery, I currently wear 1x, xl (which are NOT the same) and 14/16/18 pants... brands y'all. 3. My ring size went from a 10 to a 7. 4. Bra band size went from 46 to 38/40. 5. I am rocking a 2 piece at the pool! 6. My feet are smaller, maybe 1/2 size. 7. I have collar bones! (Say what) 8. I can easily shave my whole leg. 9. I have the ability to paint my own toes and not pass out. 10. I can go into almost any "normal size" sto...

I ask a lot of questions.
