Show Me the Path to Health

After emailing a friend who went thru the surgery, I opened up my email and this was in there. I wanted to share it with you to let you know you aren't alone, God is there to help you on your journey, and you have friends out there to encourage you. Love Kathy Show Me the Path to Health Dear God, I admit that I have come to both love and hate the word "diet." On the one hand, it represents hope for change. On the other, it's like a sign flashing "Failure ahead!" I don't want to embark on another faulty plan, Lord. I want to embark on a journey with You that is led by You and depends on Your power. I can do nothing on my own! Show me the path that will enable me to change. Show me, as only You can, what works for me, what is healthy for me. I want to think of this venture in positive terms, Lord -- not that I am signing up to be miserable or in want. I want to learn to feed my body what it truly needs when it truly needs it. And to feed my soul with the Bread of Life -- You! Today I place my future, my failures, my setbacks, all of my hopes and plans into Your hands. There alone will I find meaning and true success in my life. Amen.

Kathy, Isn't it amazing that stuff like this seems to show up at the precise time in your life when you need to hear it the most. Thank you for sharing. I haven't had access to my email or I'd have sent you a message earlier than this. I went for my first "post-op" visit today and the Dr says I'm doing great. I haven't had much pain, there is some tonight but I attribute that to having had the staples removed and doing more walking than I had any other day all week. My experience has been so positive and I hope to hear that you are closer than ever to getting your surgery. God bless you and keep you dear! Toni
