Random Crap
This time I have to just vent about a few things. So this one isn’t even called a Journey because it’s just so random. Bear with me. 1.Walmart. Good night people. Why in the heck do you wear such things to Walmart? I just don’t understand it. Do you not own a mirror? And why…

Prayer
For me, this is one of the hardest parts of being a Christian. I have been struggling with this journey for a long time. I still struggle with it. I am not a good prayer. I have so many friends who are excellent at it. They pray at church, they pray with their children, in…

Easy Way Out?
First and foremost I can tell you this was not, I repeat, NOT the easy way out. There is nothing about this process that’s easy. I have heard many of my WLS brothers and sisters say how they have been told by many in their lives that they’ve taken the easy way out. How insulting! We are…

A New Me
A new lease on life. That’s the gift that I have been given. In February of this year (2017) I was blessed with the gift of weight loss surgery. It probably sounds funny to call any surgery a gift but for me it really was. Life prior to surgery was wonderful, except for my physical…
