So yeah I'm sick...
When i went to Africa i got sick - but then Got better (praise the LORD) as my body readjusted - now that I'm back at home i think its going through the process again - Best solution? Go back to Africa - practical solution - Grin and bear it...
I live a fairly fast paced lifestyle - i enjoy being active and involved - but when i get sick its like all time slows to a crawl - when simple movements become a marathon i'll admit i loose heart...
I lost pretty much all motivation this morning - feeding the dogs, and getting to work while sick was not at the top of my list - add in the pouring rain making rivers all over the place and bed was looking especially inviting...well for better or worse i went to work - I need to work but what to do when physically my body inst up to it? oh the decisions of young adulthood...and of responsibility in general
So needless to say I was feeling pretty down and out - no spring in my step and smiling required too much effort... i was beyond dragging... I talked with my heavenly Father - complaining mainly and begging for some help. He sent it - but not in the way i expected.
I was trying to focus the bit of energy i had into scrubbing a particularly stained sink when my phone buzzed - "new message from ----" - I smiled as i read the first words "Find a gleam in every day"- familiar words - brave words - too look for the good in the midst of trail is an easy concept to project but harder to practice - at my Fathers (heavenly) urging i started making a list of things i was thankful for - at the top was the fact that I have an amazing friend (s) and a patient Father who Knows what I need not just what I ask for...
