DAMITA'S STORY ...TO BE CONTINUED

When I lost my eyesight! I've been struggling with this for a couple of months, but now it's time to tell the story. This is my journey: During the NBA playoffs I notice something going on with my body. Laying in bed I notice that I couldn't see anything that was normal, my first thought was I was just tired and over whelmed from just coming back from Lima. I begin to eat gummy bears by the cases. Setting in church one Sunday I noticed that I couldn't see Pastor Pollard or th...e choir. I whisper to my Hubby that I couldn't see to take the notes. Still not thinking anything was wrong I came home did the normal routine. Monday morning is Sam's club day. I was driving out of the Sub-division it was a right or left turn I keep going cross. I made a quick stop and said Lord something is wrong (not one truck or car was coming) me being who I am I continue on to Sam's Club. Friday morning I keep the normal plans and I had promise someone homemade pizza. I just keep asking God to keep me through the weekend until I could make it to the Doctor. We went to the Doctor he begin to ask questions back did a few test. I begin to tell the Lord you put in my spirit what was going on but if this is the case give me the strength to deal with it. Doctor came back and said Damita Chatman God has been good to you over the weekend. I begin to hold me head down he said hold your head up because God has already healed you, you now must just walk it out, Dr. Blake said you are a Type 2 Diabetic. The doctor stated you should have been in a coma or had a stroke but God has been covering you in his blood. He walked out the room, I said LORD you got to help me. We begin to start the insulin ,the doctor said you must take everything out of your diet that has sugar in it. Well I knew that it was going to be hard. I looked down and said this is the hand that God has deal me and I'm going to play to win. I begin to walk out of the office to tell my husband, I started to shed tears, because eyesight was going out. He looked up and said what did the doctor say. I said I'm a Diabetic and if I don't take over this then it's taking over me. I said Lord if you could just take the taste of sweet from me and give me the strength to do this I know I can. Well today it's been over 21/2 months nothing sweet exercise and doing what I suppose to do. I take 3 shots a day plus pill. The LORD has bless my eye sight to come back and I've lost 30 pounds. I went cold turkey on everything that wasn't suppose to be in my diet. I said Lord if you take the taste from me I know I can do it( God did just what I ask). God spoke and said now you must tell your story because so many folks are in the same place you were. I didn't want any petty parties or anyone feeling sorry for me. When my son said Mom you can't die now, that just gave me more courage to take control of this disease. My A1C 13.4 it will be low when I go back for the retest. NOTHING BUT GOD !! August 9,2014
