My little Brother

My Baby Brother

            I want to highlight some wonderful things going on since the trip to SC.  My brother is recovering well from his surgery.  He is doing PT now to get that knee bending. He can put 25% weight on it now.  He is also back in church and walking with the Lord.  I am so happy about that I could ........... scream? ............. spit? (eewww! no, yuck!).... BLOG (that's it)!!! He took people with him to church this past week. Plus he became a grandpa duing his recovery, so he is very excited over this little girl!

         Thanks for all of you who prayed for my brother! His leg looks like a battle field, but it is exciting and amazing to believe he is getting really close to walking on his own with out the use of crutches, etc. anymore. 

           I am working on my mindset again too.  I have prayed again that with God's help I can stop this sinful pattern on overeating.  It really is a sin and I must see it this way. I could use tons of excuses for why I turn to food emotionally but they would negate the fact that it is still wrong of me to eat this way.  Also this sin puts me by choice back into bondage again.  If a friend was turning to drugs, alcohol, or sex due to emotional issues I would not encourage them or make light of it.  Therefore if I want to walk in victory I believe I must see my sin for what it is and truely turn from it.  If you would like to pray for me pray that I will turn to the Lord and not the food.

             Well that is all for tonight.  I am going to go to bed and pray that tomorrow will be one of self-control and joy.  I am tired of feeling beat because of my foolish eating.  Good night all.
