Faith, Trust and Pixie Dust

My surgeon has spoken people (through email but same thing), I can now eat pudding, applesauce, soft noodles, refried beans, mashed potatoes and the like. YAY!! This is a huge step for me. It's confirmation that I am moving forward and progress is and will continue to be made. I am beyond excited, motivated and encouraged. God is so good. I dedicated this morning to reading a devotional and praying first thing because I felt that it would be the best start to my day and get my mind set on the right track. This is what I read:

From Joyce Meyer's book New Day New You : 366 Devotions for Enjoying Everyday Life, which I received as a gift from a great friend.

Hopefully this helps someone else today. I sent it to a friend who replied that it was exactly what she needed this morning, so God is busy blessing people today. I am now more excited about Easter on Sunday since I can join my family in eating lunch like a somewhat normal person. Woohoo! Hopefully by next Wednesday I have an answer for why I am still banded shut. I think just understanding will bring some sense of relief from the frustration it causes. 

Tonight, I hope to watch a movie with my hubby and smell his hamburger and fries while I enjoy some soup and refried beans! Happy Good Friday!
