Sorry I haven't been on. Took mom in for a doc appointment and by the time we went to go home, we couldn't. All roads were under water. Been staying with my sisters. Atleat I can get to my surgery appointment today.

Didn't make it. All the roads into Omaha flooded because a levy broke.

Sorry! So we pray it can soon be done. And for ease of discomfort.

Got back home yesterday afternoon. The water receded to the bottom of the bridge so was able to cross. Can't see the supports yet but it isn't under water. Thank you Jesus!

They got one eastern road into Omaha open. So my surgery is scheduled for this Friday.
Mom is driving me nuts. She is taking everything I say personally and getting offended and snapping at me. I have tried not engaging when she is like this but that didn't work so I called her on it. Of course she turned it around and made it all about her and got offended. I am tired of being judged and found to be such a horrible person.

Hi Amy. I sympathise! Don't know how you cope having to live with a controlling mother. I don't think you're a horrible person! Best advice I have heard about dealing with a manipulative person is to remain calm and win the argument. At that point, the person will throw everything at you in order to trigger you and get you antagonised, in particular they will get angry. If you can still remain calm and polite at that point, and not get emotionally drawn in to an argument (not take the bait). If you don't get drawn in, you have won the argument. Of course it's easier said than done! God bless you, praying for you!

Praying that it went well. And for peace in your family. Could it be part of your mom's aging process? Praying for lots of love and patience for you, and praying for her too.

The surgery went well. Now I just have to manage the pain.
As far as Mom goes, she has always been like that. It's just more noticeable to me since there isn't anyone else around to take some of the hits.

I see the doc tomorrow. This cast is driving me nuts. It wasn't put on well and digs into my arm in places. I am looking forward to getting it removed. The pain has been bad but is getting better. I have been able to move my fingers for the last 2 days. Still can't really grip or put pressure on them. Swelling has gone down quite a bit. Fingers no longer look like fat sausages.

Lord God please heal Amy and help her with this trial. In Jesus' name. Amen.
I hope you feel better.

Finally got back to church! Boy I missed it. Pastor Mike talked about being thankful through everything and how that is key in opening up God's blessings. I know I forget to be thankful.

Choices...God gave us free will because He wanted us to choose to love Him freely. This has daily connotations. We must choose to turn our backs on the world and the fleeting pleasures it offers and instead choose God and lasting fulfilling pleasures He offers. Who have decided serve today? Satan and the world or Christ and eternity?
Joshua 24:15 King James Version (KJV) 15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.
