I celebrated a month of being a former smoker on Tuesday. I got sick as all get out and had to go to the doctors. Since last Thursday, I have been dealing with laryngitis and a bad sinus infection. My job was a tempary assignment that had ended on Tuesday.I am on the mends of feeling better. Not the type that gets sick often, but glad I can be at home to rest.
This past month has been a very surprising one for me. I can say tho that I can go to the Lord on Easter and be purer than I was and know that He is extremely proud of His daughter. The funny thing is......my little Dezarae (6) didn't even know I quit. She said, "oh you don't smoke any more Mom?." It was the best day I had when I was able to say, YES!!!!
Questions like Do you smoke are now answered with a NO. How cool is that. When we started smoking in school it was the "IN" so it never bothered me. Now that we are older and in the "real" world, I was almost always embarrassed that I smoke. Now I have regained my freedom of this embarrassment and rejoyce in the Lord's name for the sacrifice that He gave to save me.
Going to enjoy the wonderful blessing of Easter.
