Surgery day. I never realized how much has to be done to prepare for surgery! I spent the last 2 days cleaning, doing laundry and removing jewelry. I did my workouts both days, just as I will do in a few minutes. I don’t care for the antibacterial soap I had to wash with last night and don’t look forward to today. It dries me out, but Karen makes it fun.
All clothes and bedding has been washed. I made a crockpot of cabbage and beef soup yesterday so I don’t have to worry about meals for several days. I even made sandwiches and salads.
I am ready to be lazy for a few days. I am not making light of my situation but my therapist gave me kudos for rolling with what comes next. She asked me if I anticipate anything and I told her, I have so much to do that I handle one thing at a time and rest when I am tired.
I suppose I could be stressed but that never ends well…and actually in light of my sister, Jamie’s, latest news from the doctor, I just have to focus on what I can do and be thankful. So many people have terrible things to deal with just because they do. I am choosing optimism and peace.
Please pray for each other. This world needs it.

My name is Summer. That is how you can call me. I hope that I am a blessing to you. I am not perfect. I will fall again. But I am forgiven.
Do you know Jesus? Do want the Holy Spirit to fill you and give you understanding and salvation? Ask Him. Want someone to pray with you? Contact me.
If you would like to know Jesus as your friend, but want to make this amazing commitment by yourself please pray something like this:
Thank you Jesus that You are the Son of God, the God that created heaven and earth. Thank you Jesus that You came to earth in the form of a man so that You would be able to empathize with my humanity. Thank You that You did this in order to fulfill the promises You made at the foundation of the world.
I realize that I am a sinner and do things that hurt myself and keep myself away from you. Thank You that You died for my sins so that You could defeat death and bring me into Your life. Please forgive me.
I ask You to be Lord of my life. I ask you to heal my hurts and show me what my new life, empowered by You looks like. Thank You for Your mercy.
