Dear Trish,
Praying for you in this difficult situation. Know He goes before you and ask Him to give you the words you need to respond to any questions.
Blessings~

I would appreciate your prayers this week.  After being in the psychiatric hospital, and then the rehab, and taking time off from work to regroup, I am returning to my teaching job on Monday, the 22nd.  That date is also the 2 year anniversary of my brother, Jack's death.  It is painful and I miss both of my brothers terribly.

I am anxious about work, because I fear questions I am not willing to answer.

Thanks,
Trish
 

God has been very busy teaching me some stuff that if not fun to learn.  It is easy to learn the glaring sins, and work with Him on removing them from my life.  They are so obvious, I don't mind giving them up, because I don't want others to see me with that sin in my life anyway.

The harder ones have been the attitudinal ones that I never dreamed I had.  I thought I was teachable and openminded, NOT.  I thought I was willing.  NOT.  I thought I had some level of humility.  NOT.

While I was in rehab, God showed me the hard way that I have been arrogant and haughty, and not willing to learn, or open to anything He wanted me to learn about myself.  OUCH!!!!!  Not pretty.  I do not want to relapse, and go backward, so I  have been praying to stay teachable and He has given me opportunities in other ways.

One way was when two sweet women from church offered to help me with my apartment, which I am still unpacking from my move.  The old me would have declined their help, feigning self-sufficiency and independence.  But, with my back pain, and being desperate, I accepted their help.  They were angels.  One helped me arrange the furniture in my living room.  The other put together a kitchen table that had just been delivered that morning. 

God keeps teaching me about myself, and I am finally a willing student.

Just wanted to say hello to all.  It has been a very busy 2010 for my thus far.  I was on a medical mission trip to Haiti in January.  I got back just 72 hours before the earthquake hit.  I'm looking forward to going back.  I'm on the down hill ride now for my Masters in Nursing...Of course, just celebrated 6 years post WLS in Dec. 2009...holding my own.  God is so good.  Everyday, I see opportunities that He gives for His service.... luvitsunnyv

Greetings,
I am Trish.  I am usually more active on this board, but have been away.  I am trying to get back into the swing of things.

God is good.
Trish
