2010 Change..

Feb 11, 2010

I'd like to first give all the glory to God-Jesus for savingmy life thru this surgery.  3.5 years ago I wore a size 34, and weighed 347 pounds.  I weighed this morning and I'm a very comfortable 154 pounds and wear a size 8...whoohooo. I have now had two traumatic back injuries in which one was repaired 18 months ago, and I am waiting to decide on the big bad surgery to correct this new one.  Spent a week in hospital.  Would I do this all over again?  Heck yeah!! How cvould I lug my fanny around with 200 more pounds attached to it? my BMI in 23 it had been 52 at one point.  I am in the top 2% cardiovascularly, how about that.  While my injuries have been most unfortonate I am going to start delving into HIS word which is Living and obey the path HE sets before me.   I'd llike to share about "Phoebe":

She is considered the woman who wore the Badge of Kindness  Romans 16:1,2. Her name translates pure or radiant as the moon.  Paul  found to to be a consequential servent,, while on her way to Rome for personal business, she carried Pauls letter which effectuated the orthodoxy of the Universal Church.  Paul adopted her into his spiritual family, entitling her "Sister", Paul consideredher his sister in Christ in that she too experienced the  redemption of Christ and the regenerating work of the Holy Spirit.  Galations 4:4-7.Phoebe was not just a stander by, she served in the church, as a deaconess, giving her the authority to teach all female ministry,to  include servitude to the poor and hungry.

Paul described her "A Succourer of Many and of myself also."    The definition of a succourer is "One who stands by in case there is a need." I'm going to think about that ...... Badge of Kindness, waiting to see if there is a need.....    Badge of Kindness.....
