A Gastronomical journey in 2012-about to begin-hold on if your going to follow

I 'm preparing to start this year out right.In fact, I'v'e been keeping a little secret for 3 months.This coming up year I will be slim and healthy.I'm having Bariatric surgery.I'm almost there.Yes, it's a real journey I'm going on.I must fly on the back of the Creator's wings and not look down into the darkness. I know from  My own experience and the experience of generations before Me that He is able to carry me through this. 

Me on the back of the creator-watch us soar.I can just sit back and enjoy the new journey this next year will bring.

I will feel young enough to continue enjoying whatever life brings my way.More babes to love and teach the mysteries to and more enchanting lands to soar through.

The I AM will be with me.

If you want to follow our journey,go ahead.No fear though of where we go or what we show you.
I don't even know where He plans to take Me,or the doors He plans to open and close.

I cannot fear the living water now,how long I live or what I see.

I am in His arms no matter where in 2012.

All paintings by Denise.

Oh Denise,

YOU CAN DO THIS! I have no idea what this surgery entails, but I WISH YOU HEALTH AND STRENGTH to make it through! THANK YOU DEAR ONE for coming to visit me! It has been a wonderful year, and I have such fond memories of sweet words and images that is really the only thing we all have at this moment to connect. But what a wonderful way to communicate. Please let us know how all goes for you!

HAPPY NEW YEAR MY DEAR! Anita

Those paintings are wonderful...I pray all goes well with your surgery...this is something I have considered as well...but,I am going to try very hard after the new year to do it on my own once and for all. If I don't lose some major weight so I can have knee replacements...I will most likely be going to a wheel chair in the next year or two. It's been a life time battle for me....the weight issue,that is. I hope this works for you and is successful in every way...blessings

Best of wishes to you...I've wanted to do this for years, but my doc won't recommend it and I don't think my insurance covers it anyway. *sigh* I hope it goes well for you...I'll be watching for progress updates! :)

One of my favourite songs that makes me realise God’s always around. — Dancing with God, Verse 1: You dance over me While I am unaware, You sing all around But I never hear the sound, Chorus: Lord, I’m amazed by You Lord, I’m amazed by You Lord, I’m amazed by You How You love me Verse 2: You paint the moring sky With miracles in mind, My hope will always stand, For You hold me in Your hand.
