Jeanie letting go and letting God deal with everything is the one thing that most people ,old or new Christians have the most trouble with.  Everyone wants to keep picking up those old burdens again and again. Just human nature i guess.  But he really does mean it when he said that he would take care of all of them . ALL  of them.  Yes even the Cigarettes....
 
Sounds like you are making your house your own now. and that is good. 
I love redoing things ...

keep hanging in there on the cigs. give them to God and he will take care of it for you ...love you

Jan~it would be awesome to have you ride with me for a week or two. It's a whole different world out on the road. Maybe we could got to Arizona or Texas, possibly Florida.

Am still battling the cigs, but don't smoke in the house and keep them in the back of the van so can't get to them as easy. Have reduced the number I smoke and still trying, have been able to go longer without one so it'll happen.

You know I hear about the things satan can throw at you when you are developint a relationship with Jesus, and just never imagined how easy it is for him to decieve us. All I know is that I may slip and let some of the old thinking happen, but I do know that I love a forgiving and always Loving God and that satan will not defeat him. I love that Michelle is addressing the issue everyday.

Sounds like your lawyer is serious and will get your surgery done for you. Keep us posted am really hoping it works out for you.

Well DS and Stormi went to a Halloween Party and I'm ready for bed. He swapped vanities in my bathrooms today and I did some fall cleaning, made my bedroom look like a woman's room. Has been years since I did something like that. Nothing fancy, just floral bedspread and sheets, I like it.

Love you all, hope everybody has a really great week-end.

HUGS TO YOU ALL

Your Bariatric Surgeon's office should handle all of that for you. If you have contacted your insurance customer service rep on your own and was told you have a Bariatric exclusion in your policy then you are flat out of luck. Or if you do not meet their requirements, such as high enough BMI, then once again you are flat out of luck. You didn't mention why you are wanting insight on an appeal so I am just guessing why. But those are the 2 most common reasons for denials in my office.
If I can be of any more general help please feel free to ask. I am on the other side of Mo. than you so I don't have any recommendations as far as a surgeon, sorry.
Wishing you all the best,
Connie

Jeanine:

Thanks for keeping us in your prayers.  I just have to remember that God is still in control no matter what happens around me.
When was the last time you were in Gardner?  My guess would be that it's changed a lot!
Would love to meet you too!

Jeanie so glad that your stress test went well...that is amazing. so happy for you....who knows if you get a big rig to drive one day maybe i will steal away with you on a trip lol ...
that could be fun .
Im sure you will do great ...how are you doing with the cigs.? hope you have kicked it . I know you will feel better daily if you get rid of them.
Im going to keep doing the frozen bit for the sweet potatoes cause i just dont have anyway to store them other wise. they will last a while laying on the back porch i guess but not for ever. so i am doing two to three big ones a day and freezing them...You said you had trouble with the devil putting things in your way sometimes ....Michele tickled me to death the other day ....she said she gets up every morning and opens the front door and yells out , get out of my life and away from me and my house satan i dont have room or time for you today .lol i thought it was cute. as they say out of the mouths of babes and i guess that goes for baby Christians too .....love you and will keep you in my prayers.
