23 pounds to date, and now detox--yuck

Hey guys, I'm sure if you have been following my blog, you have noticed that I have been very candid about my road to recovery. I grew up in a family of eaters, gained a few unwanted pounds, and now I'm in jeopardy of losing my health and ability to have kids. . . but as always there is hope. On August 4th, as you know, I started seeing a doctor who practices in weight management. . . so a few prescriptions later, a lot of shots on each my cheeks, fainting from blood tests, and the clothes starting to fit better so I need a belt. . . have led to some unbelievable success. So far, I have lost four inches in my waist and 23 pounds. This week. . . I am on a detoxification diet for seven days. I have to fast for two days, drink this not so flavorful drink, swallow these huge make you wanna gag horse pills twice a day. . . but this is all worth it to get healthy. I can't wait until day three when I will be able to eat nuts and berries. Gee, I feel like a squirrel just trying to get a nut, oh come on that was funny. Although, soon I will not have the chubby cheeks to store food in. . . I'm on a roll. . . Ok focus, stop talking about food. . .remember no food for two days. . . got it!!

I also found out that my father had no problem conceiving children nor my uncle. So, my inability to conceive could be just a weight management issue. I have been working on getting my hormones in balance again, so that I am able to do what God intended---Be fruitful and multiply. So, I guess things aren't so bad after all. At least at some point, you realize that even things that seem so big and unable to fix. . . are not so big to God. What I have been doing lately is taking the time to remember that!! It's not easy, but we do have to live each day to the fullest. . . and when we do that. . . everything else falls into place. Seek God first, and all these things shall be added unto you!!!

So to date I now weigh 367 pounds
Five weeks ago I weighed 390
This detox diet, I could lose 10 to 20 pounds this week alone---wow!!!

Keep the Chase family in your prayers, as you all are in mine

Azoospermia

Big word, so let me simplify. Zero sperm count, my urologist has not come out and publically said that, but my semen analysis came back today and once again there were no "swimmers". I know that God is the Great Physician, and what surprises me the most is that my doctor did not even know what to tell me. I had to research this for myself. I feel like I could go to medical school after all the testing and research that I have done on planned parenthood. Well, anyway. . . there is a procedure that they would have to do. . . they of course being the doctors that wouldn't disclose what this condition or should I say "Lie from the devil" would be. . . would mean that I would have to have surgery to locate "swimmers". Azoospermia in many cases is curable with surgery and through invetro-fertilization. False, at least according to the word of God. . . Sarah and Abraham in their old age, conceived children. Prophets have told me and my wife that we will bear children. . . so devil "Shut Up"!! In Jesus Name, I am healed and I demand that my anatomy be restored to full working order, I speak to the reproductive organs that there will be no blockage and that sperm production will carry on as God has planned. I pray for supernatural healing and weight loss, I will not give up on the One who made it all!!

God, heal me Lord. . . I want to be delivered. . . I'm tired of the season that I'm in. . . My faith and trust is in You alone because men will and always have lied to me. . . but. . .not You!! I want my testimony, and I know that I know that I know Your promises will not return to me void!!!

Lord, I pray for all of the families out there that are unable to conceive. . . I pray against the spirit of Infertility. . . this is not Your plan. . . You are the Creator of Life, not the taker of it!!

Lord, I will wait patiently for the results!!!
