thank you!

I have been reading these boards for about one month now and I have been asking the same question "will God approve of this for me?" "am I doing the rigiht thing?" I feel so much better since reading these posts tonight and I thank you for helping me feel more peace with what I am doing! I never thought that if there is a smaller me it may just be a good way to offer more of myself up to GOD to serve him on this earth!!! So thanks to you all! I am a fairly new Christian )attend a Baptist Church; I was raised Catholic and did not know much about the Bible but I feel so much better when I can be geared towards the Bible to help lead me in the right direction!!!!

Deb, I think the same way. I feel that having this surgery added years on to my life. I was in a wheelchair before, now I drive and get around so much better. Yes, God does work in mysterious ways, his wonders to perform. Any of us here will be glad to help you along your way. Just ask. God Bless. Susy

Hi Susy, so glad to have met you. Praise God for taking you out of the wheelchair. I too have felt so much better physically. May he continue to bless you. Geri

Deb I am so happy you are finding comfort and peace by reading our post. God is so good to us and He can give us info in the strangest ways. I guess about 10years ago, I read a Sunday School lesson that said God does not always deal with things in logical ways. I found so much comfort in this, and have it was good for me to know because I knew God had been speaking to me and I thought I was just weird. Now I know I am just weird (smile) and it is the way God made me. I have learned to keep and open mind because I never know exactly which way He will be moving, I just want to be in the middle of it. God bless be encouraged. di

Hi Deb, It's funny that was one of the signs that God had given to me to continue on this journey. I went to my pcp to see him to proceed into the next step. I wasn't sure if I was doing the right, was I not trusting in God, all those thoughts that we go through. Will I happened to get a christian doctor and was able to share my thoughts on all the feelings I was having concerning the surgery. I remember him asking me that if I was too lose my weight, would I be able to serve God better. I said yes. He said maybe that's why God had put this on my heart to want this surgery. He prayed for me right there in his office. I have to thank my Lord Jesus that two years later he has brought me through this and I feel so much better physically. I just wish that I could say, that Im serving him better, but hopefully in due time I will get better at that. (heHe) Blessings to you Geri
