so day nine of treatment, day six of calorie restrictions. count so far? 15 lbs down. and i’m feeling gooood.
last night, some dear soul-knit friends came over and in candlelight we prayed, listened to 33s on the Philco of simon & garfunkel and ben folds, laughed a little, cried a little and for a little while … i felt such peace that i felt life held no threat to me. my “momentary afflictions” were just that. momentary.
with the blessing of my mom, i find peace resettling into my home. into my sleep. and even in my heart.
so i realize…
Remember surrender
Remember the rest
Remember that weight lifting off of your chest
And realizing that it’s not up to you and it never was

You LOOK like a different person! And, I’m not talking about the 15 lbs…but YEA for that! Your countenance is different! I could REALLY see the joy of the Lord bounding from you yesterday! I am praying with you and can’t wait to see how God continues to move in your life!
