I know now that I was wrong for being mean to people and my family ressures me they understood...If get my surgery and lose weight Iam to going back to get my RN licenses...Please pray that God will send Satan packing and leave me alone......Thanks again for all your love and friendships.......HAPPY 4th................................................Craig Lee

Craig, I fully understand your jitters. I was like that off and on up to the time they took me to surgery. But I fully trusted the Lord Jesus and He had my life in His hands. He uplifted me and protected me and I can testify to you today that it was the right thing for me to do. I feel wonderful and you will too. So please enjoy your celebration today and God willing I will see you on the 25th(the day after your surgery). God Bless and keep you! Colette

you bet Buddy you know how much we all miss and love you. We will all be in one accord and aggrement when you go into surgery on the 24th . He will protect you and and guide the surgeons hands and things will be great again for you. God doesnt want us to live in fear and hybernation. He wants us to be happy and out amoung people and to be able to tell them about him not sitting on a couch watching Tv like we all have been .Because we cant do much else. The jitters are normal. Part of having a surgey like this. If you werent nervouse some i would wonder about you. I was a nurse too and i know what you mean about not suppose to get sick. Go get annointed and leave all your worries with the Lord . He will take care of you. Jan

Craig I know how your feeling i was haveing second thoughts then i realised i need this more than anything. For my health and i to want to go back to work i am a CNA and wanted to get my nurseung dagree then maybe be a doctor but i hurt my back and it disabled me and i got bigger and bigger but i know without a doubt Jesus is here for you and all us so just put your trust in him and he will carry you through love benny

Craig, That ole devil just likes to work overtime in putting fear and doubt into us about this surgery. He doesnt want to see us get better and live a happier life. With God on our side absolutely NOTHING is impossible. I see you have alot of friends here holding you up in prayers, im there holding ya up too, I dont know ya yet but your in my prayers and Im there with ya kicking that ole devil and stomping him in the ground. Hang in there, your gonna make it Craig. God Bless ya!!! Andrew
