My Weekend

Hello sweet friends, pray you have enjoyed your weekend. Praise God, I have enjoyed mine. Yesterday, me and lovebug spent the day with our precious great nephew Zach. He will be two in September, he is such a bundle of joy. We played outside here at our apartment, then we went to McDonald's and got him a happy meal, and went to the park to eat. After he ate, we played ball, blew bubbles, and played on the playground. It was beyond awesome. I love him so very much. when we took him home, he cried, did not want us to go. Poor baby, he broke my heart. We are going to watch him for a couple of hours on Wednesday, woo hoo. Looking very forward to that. We took pictures, thought I would share our day.  Bless you all, I love you all bunches.

Doctor Appointment

Happy Friday everyone, praying that you all enjoy your weekend. Yesterday, I had an appointment with my primary care Doctor. She was upset that I will not be able to go to Georgia, she is very concerned about me. She is not upset with me, but with my insurance company. She said she is going to work very close with me, and help me to get better. We found out that my insurance company will not even pay for me to have outpatient treatment. So, it is up to my Doctor to help me. I have total trust in her, but more so in my true Physician, my Father God. I go back to see her July 14th, and in the mean time, she gave me some goals to aim for. I have to start drinking more water, walking twenty minutes a day everyday, take my medicine faithfully, check my blood sugar at least once a day, and try my best to eat more. So, I am going to do my very best to meet all of those goals, and with Father God on my side cheering me on, I can, and will meet these goals. Yesterday, as I was getting ready to leave my Doctor's office, I saw a young(in her 20's) black girl sitting alone crying. Of course, I had to check on her. I sat down beside her, put my arm around her, and said honey are you ok? Bless her heart, she put her head on my shoulder, and cried like a baby. She was there with her mom, her mom had an appointment with my diabetes Doctor. She is so worried about her dear mom, she is afraid she is going to die from her diabetes, because it is way out of control. I told her that I totally understood since I was also a diabetic, and had lost my mom. I loved on her, and tried to encourage her, until her mom came out from her appointment. I said a prayer for her, and then lovebug and I left . Please remember her in your prayers, her name was Mica. May God sweetly bless her and her mom. PS:My Doctor is sending me to have xrays of my lumbar and spine, and to have lung function tests. I hurt really bad in my back constantly, and get short of breathe all the time. She thinks my not eating has weakened my lungs. Will let you know when I get the results back, love you all.

Thankful Thursday

Hello everyone, I have really missed doing thankful thursday. My heart is overflowing with gratitude to still be here, that is possible only because of my precious Father God. This year has been rough, my health has taken some hard knocks. Actually, my heart, soul, mind, and body have taken some major knocks. I am now battling an eating disorder, smaller than I have ever been my entire life. The Doctor said if I do not get it under control, I will die. Well, I refuse to accept that. My Father God has much more in store for me, I have work to do for His Kingdom. I am not leaving until He comes to get me, in His time. I am determined to get better, and be better than ever. My strength comes from the ultimate power source, He is strong while I am weak right now. He is carrying me for the moment, together we will be victorious. This is just another part of my journey, looking forward to what my Father is going to teach me. I love you all. Remember, count your blessings, not your problems.

My Journey

Hello sweet sisters, saying prayers, and sending love your way. I put this new background on my blog because Jesus and I are heading out on a new journey. I am excited to be on our way, only good things are headed our way. I am letting Jesus do all the driving, He always knows the best way to go. He  loves taking the wheel, and I enjoy letting Him take total control of our adventures. So, put your seat belts on, and come along for the ride, things are only going to get better from here on. Let's go sisters!!!

Change Of Plans

Well my sweet sisters, there has been a change of plans. My insurance will not pay for me to go for inpatient treatment at Ridgeview in Smyrna Georgia. So, I will not be going there on Saturday. Instead, my Doctor is going to get me into some intensive outpatient treatment here in my home town of Chattanooga Tennessee. Regardless, I am ready to get back to my old self, except better than ever with my Father's help. I love you all so very much, thanks for the kind words of encouragement, prayers, and love. I appreciate all of you more than words can express. To those of you that said you would write to me at Ridgeview, please write to me at my home, that would mean so much to me. My address is: Denise Oldham-510 Central Drive Apt. 1502 Chattanooga Tennessee 37421  Sweet blessings to all of you.

Address

Anyone that would like to write to me while I am away, here is the address: Denise Oldham-Ridgeview Institiute 3995 South Cobb Drive Smyrna Georgia 30080. I cannot take my cell phone with me, and during my free time, I only have ten minutes to make calls. Visiting hours are Monday:7pm-8:30  Saturday:3:30-5:00  and Sunday:3:30-5:00. Praise God, there is a church service on Sunday. I love you all so very, very much. My prayers remain with you all.

Prayers&Love Needed

Hello my precious friends, saying prayers on your behalf. I love you all very much, and miss you . I covet your prayers, and your love. There is something I need to share with all of you. I have a major eating disorder, they have told me if I do not go for some inpatient treatment, I am going to die. My body is depleted of important minerals and nutrients. That is why I have been so sick, and my diabetes puts me at higher risk. I cannot stand to smell, or look at food, it truly makes me sick. Next Saturday, June 11, I will be going to Smyrna Georgia to a hospital called Ridgeview Institute. I will be there for at least 30 days, in the woman's eating disorders unit. I am scared,and sad, because I will be away from my dear lovebug. But, I do not want to die. My Father will be there with me, carrying me. I am going to get better, and with my Father's help, I will be back up on my feet quickly. I will survive, because I am a daughter of the King. Never give up my friends, your Father loves you, and cares for you deeply. Please do not forget me, bye for now.
