I was reminded once again this week that, yes, we can make plans for our lives, however, God sees the big picture, and sometimes He sees it fit to change our plans.... the choice is ours... are we going to trust Him and be ok with it, or, are we going to become frustrated and upset because life just isn't 'working out'..??? Trust me, the latter aprach will only bring pain and unhappiness and more 'messed up' plans!!!!

I had full intentions of going to school Tuesday, I had my mind and heart set on it!!! Much to my dismay I awoke Tuesday morning with the stomach-ache flu!!! To make things worse, in the morning I wasn't even able to keep advil, or, worse yet my medication down!!! I didn't know what I was going to do, because my body 'depends' on my medication to keep the movements calmed!!!! Thankfully, afternoon I took a set of meds and painkiller and they both stayed where they belonged!!!! :)))) By evening I was feeling some better and was hoping to be able to keep my appointment with my nutritionnalist on Wed. morning. I slept well that night and was going to try to 'give it all I had' to keep my appointment. Sadly, my body was still very run-down so finally last minute mom called my nutritionalist to see if she had any other opening in the next week or so. #1 answer to prayer, she answered her phone(we usually have to leave a message for her to return the call) #2 answer to prayer, she had an opening for next Tuesday (she is busy making it hard to get in so soon!) PTL!!!!

Of course, due to my sickness my body is not "equipped" :) to recover as quick as somebody with a healthy body. Movements were a little worse, but I feel like the set-back wasn't too severe and I have been up and around more the last two days again!!!:))))) I enjoyed being at the mystery supper the highschool students put on for their parents and the teachers last evening. I'm hoping to hang out with my youth group this evening..... social life... yeah!!!!! Also looking forward to having my uncle Matt and family here for the weekend!!!

Next week looks full. Revival's at church and 3 appointments....
Mon. muscle therapist
Tues. meet with my nutritionalist
Wed. meet with my Dr. at Geisinger
****Would def appreciate your prayers....

We need not fear, for with every step, and in every place, GOD IS NEAR!!!
