FAITH

Hebrews 11:1 Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things unseen.

When we first decided that this procedure would be the one to help us finally win our battle with obesity,

we really had no idea how our lives were going to change forever. I'm sure if you are like me, you

probably googled, researched, read, and watch every resource of information you could get a hold of,

to try and get a more better understanding of what was going to happen and what the outcome would be.

We also researched physicians that specialized in this procedure. Now, after all our careful research, some

of us got nervous, "cold feet" and started thinking if we were making the right choice. But, our desire to be

healthier (skinnier, LOL) made us push forward. We finally selected the physician we thought would be the

best for our individual needs and we put our "Faith" in him/her that they would be successful in performing

the surgery and help us get on our way with this journey. We did not have the slightest idea at all, how any

of our procedures were going to turn out, but we "Hoped" they were very skillful and that all would go well.

Now:

Think about this, we put so much (our lives) faith and hope in physicians who are men and women just like

us. But in actuality, they are just the "avenues" that our Father in heaven "utilized" to get us to this point!

As children of God, we should never put more faith or hope in any man/women or even ourselves than

we put in our Father. This is why, we should talk with Him through prayer everyday and through our "faith"

and "hope" in Him alone, shall we wait to receive our increases in life!.

God utilizes whatever He needs, to take care of those He loves and those who love Him!

"Faith and Hope in the Lord, are our avenues to having a blessed, and successful life!"

Feeling strong in the Lord,
