GOD laid something on my heart at 5am this morning & after speaking w/ a local Pastor this morning at 6am...I think I will share. As many know I dont really have a facebook page anymore. It seems the homeless/needy and the communities have taken it over...which is perfectly fine w/ me! It touches my heart to be able to give in some area of my life & right now thats through facebook and all of us pitching in helping these families. As many of you know I have struggled w/ some severe health issues over the last few years! After the heart attacks and 5 stints being placed and being diagnosed w/ diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, migraines, insulin dependant, overweight, neuropathy and congested heart failure was the last diagnosis that I received. After praying hard for 1 month I made the conscious decision to stop taking all 24 pills that I was taking and quit taking my insulin in hopes that I could alter and change my lifestyle on my own and re-shift my destiny that had been laid on me by my doctor and that was if I didnt change my lifestyle then I would not make it past 5 years! The root of all my health problems was stemming from my weight. After speaking w/ my doctor and my heart doctor they were against this decision but my heart doctor said what the hell, try it for 3 months but Im not recommending it...hes a little harsh and blunt at times lol. He agreed that 3 of the meds was most likely keeping the weight on me. Im very happy to share that the day I made the decision I weighed in at 234 and Friday I weighed in at 186. My A1C has never been better and my heart sounded clear of fluid. There is no cure for neuropathy but it seems to have resided significantly for me. My cholesterol levels are better than they have been in 7 years and Im healthier than I have been in years!! I used to have a ton of energy and it seems thats doubled the more weight I lose. I will be going in for another heart cath w/in the next few weeks just so they can physically see if there are any new issues or the progress on my past blockages...of course Im claiming that this will be a waste of time;-) With all this being said many know that I will pray and give it to GOD but if hes not working in my time frame then I will take the burdens back and try to fix them quickly myself...well needless to say that hasnt worked so well for me in the past lol!! I still sin everyday in some area of my life but Im trying harder than I have ever tried before and Im happy to report that all my issues and problems have been laid in his hands to fix and hes doing a pretty good job!! Myself and my real estate partner Pam Gabriel who I drive insane at times lol have been BLESSED w/ 6 pending contracts & business has really picked up. ;-) AND we continue to receive good news on the homeless/needy families!!! Most importantly though my point to all this ramble is until I let go and followed my path laid before me w/ helping the homeless/needy families I wasnt this BLESSED!! I consider myself very BLESSED to have a full time job in real estate and to also have a full time hobby of helping people!!! I have a HUGE amount of support from friends and family and the communities and I would like to take the time to thank everyone again for that!! Let me also just say that I dont recommend what I did at all to anyone else w/ the meds, BUT in my situation I had nothing to lose....it was either do something drastic or take my 5 year death sentence and live life to the fullest! I also had agreed w/ my doctors to go back on all the meds if this plan didnt work and we all knew I was playing w/ fire!! Only a hand full of people closest to me knew about my decision bc I knew what would be said lol. She has completely lost her mind. I would also like to send a HUGE thanks to Tim Basham & Phyllis Johnson for having FAITH in me and standing behind me where real estate is concerned ;-) !! I bet Phyllis has spent countless hours praying for me lol!! I will quit rambling this morning but just know I love all you guys & I hope that each and every person reading this has BLESSINGS flowing unceasingly!!!
