I was recently sick for about a week. I have ulcers, and when I eat the wrong food it makes me not want to go to school or come into Street Sense to work. I must also stay close to the bathroom. However, I am blessed to have a doctor and to have my medication, which I take 4 times a day. I also try not to smoke.
I keep praying, and I know that Jesus will help me through this. I need to change my diet because I keep eating in response to my feelings, even if I am not hungry. I have been working with my AAA sponsor about conquering my alcoholism, and I feel good about that.
I seem to stress about bills and life in general. I try to focus on my beliefs, and remember that Jesus is the teacher and will show me how to overcome these emotions. I will not give up. It is one step at a time, one bite at a time. So, as I get better, I won’t take on other’s stresses, and I will try to change my anger into smiles.
So, let the chips fall where they may–I surrender myself to Jesus because it is not up to me anymore.
