I know I'm a little overdue on an update!!! :(
PTL, I had a visit with the herb specialist last Tuesday and discovered MY MONO IS GONE!!!!!! Still working to get the Lyme out, and also getting my neck to cooperate.:)
I declare I have the best group of students..... one of the girls told me she sees a difference in me everyday, for the better of course!!!!!:) How encouraging!!!!! Been having fun playing darebase with them and even got to help in a game of soccer!!!:):):) Thank-you God!!!! (For those of you who don't know... I am an aide in the high-school room (8-12)!!!!) 22 teenagers sure keeps life interesting, but love it soooo much!!! :):):):)
NOW....... for the exiting news!!!! Dad, Mom, my two youngest siblings an I have plans to travel to SC to be with some friends, Titus, Donna and family. There oldest daughter Andrea also had Lyme and was really sick!!! Her younger sister and I were in the same dorm at CBS this past term and got along quite well to say the least!!!! ;);) Thankfully Andrea is actually Lyme free right now but they are now treating her for two 'co-infections'. She has been much better the past few weeks. Please pray that things would continue to go well for her and especially this weekend!!! We have close to 12 hours one way. Please pray that God would grant us safety as we travel. We plan to leave tomorrow morning and come home either Sunday eve. or Monday morn.
May God bless you all with a great weekend, and remember, no matter what you are facing in life, God WILL be there for you!!!!

hhmmm.... not sure where I want to start... I had a full week last week!!!!
Well Monday I went SHOPPING!!!!!!! Colleen and I went met some of our friends in Selinsgrove. It was lots of fun and since I havn't gone shopping like that since I got sick last April it felt like an accomplishment!!!!;) We went in the Boscov's entrance and I spotted a :)Sears:) cart, since it works best if I have something to lean on for support:) I hauled off with it!!!!:) Was a bit interesting trying to get around in some of the smaller stores in the mall, but hey it worked!!!!:)
Tuesday, back to school.... (I still go Tuesday-Friday). I was a bit apprehensive about the week because it was 'report cards' week and I felt like we had lots to do to have them ready for Friday. I had asked one of my friends to come Tuesday to help with grading so I could work more on entering the grades. Colleen also came and helped after doing a few things at home. I found out Tuesday after I got to school that Melissa Troyer was there to help as well!!!:) I felt like a lot got done on Tuesday with all that help!!!! Thanks girls!!!!:) To make things things even better I found out that Melissa will probably be hired as part-time helper!!!!:) It was sooo nice having her there. Once more God knew just what I needed and intervened just in time!!!! Tuesday evening was chorus practice and I felt well enough to go!!!:)
Wednesday morning I had a muscle treatment. She has been working a lot on my neck and side muscles. My neck doesn't seem to have quite the pull it used to have!!!! PTL!!!
Thursday afternoon Melissa, Phil, and I hit the rerport cards hard! I think it was close to 10:30 when I get home and yes, the report cards were ready to hand-out!!!! Yeeaahhhh!!!!! Thanks to Phil's wife Jolene for bringing supper, and Martha (Melissa's mom) for bringing a snack!!!!:)
Friday morning I slept in. I got to school about 11:30 or so. Melissa came around 12 and helped wrap things up a little. Hopefully with her help I will be able to stay on top of things better, which would make report cards a lot less stressfull!!!! Friday evening the youth played v-ball. I felt well enough that I bumped the ball around a little!!!! :) Sadly tho, after being 'out of commission' for so long I kinda lost most of the little v-ball muscle I had.:( Gotta look at the good side and be thankful that with work and determination I can get it back!!!! :)
Saturday, just relaxed at home...hhhmm don't ask how much I got done!:)
Yesterday, (Sunday) I went to church after Sunday School. We had company for lunch. Colleen and I, along with 12 other youth went to Shade Mtn. (bout an hour away) to hear the West Haven Youth give a pragram. Enjoyed it a lot and thank God that I was able to ride an hour like that and my hair didn't look like I had just crawled out of bed when I got there!!!!lol:)
As I look over the past two weeks, wow, it hardly seems possible that I was actually able to be busy like that. I definatly didn't get the 9 hours (at the least) of sleep each night that I used to need in order to function. Another miracle sent straight from God!!! Thank-you God! Along with that, I found myself complaining more and it just felt like my relationship with God was more shallow, it seemed satan was attacking and I found myself giving in!!!! It was frustrating and discouraging!!! I thought about it a bit.... yes I still prayed, yes I still read my Bible, yet there was a difference. What was that difference???!!! For one, when I read my Bible, instead of concentrating on what I was reading and trying to see what God had for me, I just quickly read it more out of duty! MISTAKE #1!! When I prayed, it was more like me telling God, "Listen, this is what I need, oh and by the way, thanks for..... In Jesus name, AMEN, then my mind was off to...who knows where!:( MISTAKE # 2!!!! THAT DOES N-O-T WORK, THAT'S NOT HOW GOD INTENDED FOR IT TO BE!!!! God wants to have an intimate relationship with His children. How many of us like friends who never allow us to talk, friends who only need us when they are in trouble?! I sure don't and yet it can be so easy to forget God when life is going good:(!!!! What is your relationship with your Heavenly Father like?
