The Emotional Walk

So yesterday was not a diet friendly day, it was a nervous eating day.  Yuck!  Brooke called and said her dear son that I kept for 2 days over the weekend has the swine flu H1N1, and that her doctor wrote me a script for Tamiflu since I have asthma and don't need this flu. By the way, her doctor used to be mine so she is more than able to give me a script.  She brings it and we are both starving and we just have to go to the diner at the end of the road and eat...a huge breakfast that I vowed would be my last meal till supper.  I kept that promise.

Kevin called home sick as a dog with ALL the symptoms of the swine flu. I had our call in meds for him and we are both quarantined for several days. I of course got nervous and had him bring home greasy fast food. I haven't done that in over a week. 

We share about our days and are heading for bed last night and of course I don't know whether to sleep with him or not.  I am exposed already....but I don't have symptoms....I will miss him....I don't sleep well without him....what do I do???   I eat...I eat a PB&J, chips and some cheese and diet coke.  WHY???? I chose to sleep by Kevin by the way. 

I share all this craziness because there was an answer.  Calmness and sweet surrender to my God.  I once again went with my emotions and not with my Spirit.  I am teaching a youth class on the Fruits of the Spirit.  I started out discussing the walk of a sinful nature and how by walking in the Spirit we will produce fruits....love , joy, peace, SELF CONTROL....   My dear God once again caught my attention this morning and put my feet on the path of the Spirit.  He is an awesome God and He cares about all the details in my life. 

Today looks to be a day of playing nurse, cleaning house, and spending time in His Word.  It really will be a great day....I must just keep track of my steps!
