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!

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...

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

Why has it been so long?

It's been quite some time since my last post. I'll try to give a "quick" update, but can we be real... I don't know how to do short and sweet. I am long winded. In no particular order, here are some things that have been going on: 1. My thyroid is a complete jerk. Really. Every single time I go in for blood work, it's worse and we increase the medicine. I have started also seeing a natural healing doctor, in addition to my primary physician. It can't hurt. There is a website that I can recently found that has helped me feel not alone with my health issues, I have added links for you to read, if you wish. https://themighty.com/2017/02/what-people-get-wrong-about-hypothyroidism/ 2. Due to above mentioned jerk, my weight loss has halted and I have gained about 30lbs in the past 6 months. I work on it every day. Some days are better than others. 3. I did complete my masters degree! (insert me dancing) Now I have about a 2 year process of supervision be...

I ask a lot of questions.
