Wisdom Teeth and Spiritual Growth

Friday I took Margaret to get her wisdom teeth taken out. The rest of the day on Friday she just slept and moaned a little. Today her cheeks are chubby, not as bad as Katie's were when she had hers out, but just chubby. She can't eat all that she wants to yet. We had meat loaf, mashed potatoes, broccoli, fruit salad and garlic bread for supper and she ate two helpings of mashed potatoes, with lots of butter. It reminded me of about where I am spiritually. I feel like I am just not able to take in the "meat" I have in the past. Have you ever felt that way? I feel like I am back to a diet of soft foods, and mashed potatoes. I am back to basics in every area. Die to self, be unselfish today, be happy, don't complain, don't worry about tomorrow, all those things that I have "preached" for years to my kids. There have been times that I have thought that I had "conquered" some of those traits. God is now taken me back steps and showed me I haven't "conquered" anything, and anything that I did before, was done by His Spirit.

Margaret has had to scale back her eating because of her condition. I guess I do to.
