Today is the three hundred fifty-second day of 2018: evening
If there really are seven deadly sins, I possess the sin of vanity and pride. In fact, I'm probably the biggest sinner when it comes to these two things.
Sad, but true confession: my biggest fear regarding the hysterectomy is the loss of my youthful looking face.
I've always taken good care of my skin; I've even boasted about it to a crowd of people! God has blessed me I've said! And then, my pride swells any time someone thinks I'm in my twenties.
Nothing in life lasts forever, we are but a breath. My goal is to live my life fully and abundantly, and I don't need my super pliant skin to do that! I will continue to care for my skin and body, but because I know it is a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God.
During this time of recovery, I've recognized that God is at work in me, renewing my spirit and my mind. I may be more quiet, more pensive, kind of moody, and stand-offish... but I'm in a time of discernment, prayer, and confession.
