Re: It's tomorrow and I'm so nervous.../wow im almost in your shoes!

[Guest guest]

first let me say congrats and I'll pray for you. I wish my day where

here already. I have ONE WEEK. Next sunday this time i will be on my

way to the airport. I am flying out to San Diego to Alvarado

Hospital. Im so excited but nervous in the same. Whew!!! Today at

church my pastor was saying: " you've had this old habit so long and

your affraid to turn loose of it. LET IT GO!! Its gonna kill you if

you dont let it go. Turn it loose, its sinking you. " The Bible

says, " take your burdens to the Lord, leave them there. Call upon my

nam and I will save you. " So today i went forward and TURNED IT

LOOSE. I released my old eating habits. I let the Lord have them. I

felt my blessing fill me and i have faith that i will make it thru

this surgery with a healthy outcome and a bright future. Thank you

Jesus.
