so i actually got quite sick yesterday. in the days before that, i was feeling pretty groggy and crappy. like i couldn't get myself to work out or anything. and then it hit me like a brick wall.
i had caught a cold. it completely rocked my body from head to toe. i had the aches, chills, stuffy nose, and a splitting headache that wouldn't give. pretty much the flu, no?
--I was pretty pathetic--
i had a full day of classes and couldn't get out of going to any of them. i pushed from 11 - 5 and then came home. got some chicken noodle soup and a sangwhich from quizzie's. i drank some water and oj and proceeded to pass out.
i woke up every few hours to go to the bathroom and clear out my nose.
then i would drink more water and oj and then pass out.
in the brief moments before i would pass out, i cried out to God to make me healthy. i wanted to go on the beacon retreat so badly. and a sick jt would be in no condition to go.
however, whenever i'm sick, i somehow always come to the realization that i need to rely on God more. it is very positive in this way. it makes me realize how thankful i need to be for the simple things in life. like i realize how i just don't cry out to him continuously throughout the day. i might be listening to sermons or christian music, but my heart isn't always following suit to those words. This was unnerving to me and made me realize the frailty of this life. how precious life truly is.
anyways... He heard and answered my cry!!!
Today i awoke for my 9:30 class got there in time, and was feeling awesome. other than a minor nose plug, i'm feeling completely better. the only thing i need to make happen is the final 4 units so i can graduate this quarter. i haven't really worried about it, but it would be nice IMO to be done this quarter. whatever happens, i'll be good with it.
getting healed though... it's not even surprising. i've come to realize that the God i worship, is the same God who saves sinners. He is the same God who was, who is, and who will forever be praised. The same God who created the universe. Of course He's more than able to heal me. psh. how short sided can one be!?
anyways... Praise be to God!
the sickness drew me closer and readied my heart for retreat. i can't wait to see what God has in store to show me.
yayyy God. VICTORRRY!!!
=D
