No words can describe the gratitude and happiness I feel in my heart today. I just have to post an update!!!! :)
Our church hosted the youth fellowship meetings this past weekend. Last week I had lots of pulling in my neck and quite a bit of pain. I kept praying God would allow me to feel good and have a good, fun weekend! His answer to my prayer was YES!!! It brings tears to my eyes... OUR GOD CAN DO ANYTHING, if we ask in FAITH and BELIEVE He will answer with what HE feels best.
I am pretty certain it was the BEST weekend I've had in a LONG time! Volleyball Friday evening and again Saturday afternoon. Much laughter and fun was had. Singing was AMAZING! Many challenging thoughts. Late nights and (not so late) mornings. Hanging out with old friends and making new ones. Good food.
Yup! I was able to be there, handle the crazy schedule, with pretty much NO PAIN! I feel amazingly well this morning and still not much pain and the pull isn't bad either. I am daring to hope just MAYBE things with my neck will be more upbeat again! :)
I have an appointment in Philly next Wednesday (August 3). I would definitely appreciate your prayers concerning that.
Have a good week and don't forget... GOD cares about EVERY detail of your life no matter how big or small, trust Him with your problems and concerns, He WILL take care of you.

To my wonderful support group and prayer warriors...
I was at my nutrionalist on Tuesday. The sad report was... my Lyme is back! I am back on a few more "drops" and pills again in hopes of sending that Lyme away quickly! It appears I got a bite from an insect that carried Lyme and passed it to me. The happy part is... the bite only happened within the last two weeks which means we are on it pretty quick and hoping it will leave sooner too!
For some reason this time around it seems to be hitting harder. The neck pain and pulling don't help anything. I feel more sick with it and I am just totally ZAPPED in no time at all.
For example:
Thursday night I slept pretty much solid for 12 hours. It was pretty late when I got up so I ate lunch and got myself ready and went for a muscle treatment at 2:00 Friday afternoon. I got back around 3:30 and felt up to do some work so I busied myself with a project that took no more than half an hour. I was so tired when I finished so was resting a bit. At about 4:00 I decided to shower and take a nap before going to the youth activity. I had a good 30 minute nap and felt well enough to go. I had an enjoyable evening, played a game of v-ball then sat around and yakked for a while. Got home a little after 11:00 and by the I felt I would have thought I just came home from a 10 hour work day!!!
Please continue to pray... my patience seems to be getting rather thin as I wait for better times. I find it very hard to happily sit back as I watch my friends and sister party, have fun, go away, etc. I must often remind myself, I've done this for a little over a year, I can do it for a few more months yet,(LW) my party time is coming. I plan to talk to my nurse in Philly on Monday and am hoping to get an appointment there next week.
Thanks for caring! Your prayers, support, and encouragement are just what I need to keep fighting.
