holiday fever.

So I woke up Wednesday morning feeling a little warmer than the normal 90 degree temperature we normally wake up to, and a little ache-ier than the usual stiffness from the Thai mattresses. I looked at the picture of me holding that big snake...thought about how tough I was and I went to school...and was quickly talked into going back home. I thought an afternoon of rest would kick the little bug and I'd be back at it the next day. I was treated so kindly by Ellen and Julie, giving me vitamins and treats to help me bounce back. My roommates get home with the good news that there was no school the next day (Thursday) b/c we have an electrical problem. So, I got an extra day of rest.

Thursday I expected to jump out of bed, but I felt worse. Said goodbye to Danielle :( and headed back to bed...watched movies all day and took my temperature late afternoon and it was like 38.8 C - almost 102 F and decided we should go check with Cindy, our wonderful FLC nurse/neighbor who by the Grace of God had some medicine from a Dr. supporter. Well, it was strong and kicked that sinus infection right out before it invaded my brain :) yay!

The point of all this was just to show how God really plans out how he's going to take care of you, before you even get sick. Danielle was still there to be my sub, Ruth allowed me to go home, Ellen was at the school and so sweet and gave me a ride home and treats to help me feel better, Stephanie was awesome and so nice and caring to me and Cindy was literally right around the corner, armed and so willing to help :)

"Jesus is Cool" quote of the day: "Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds!" Luke 12:24

This is a little bird we were feeding in the Akha village. Sometimes God uses others to make sure we get all our needs :)
