On my way back up…
I feel like I’ve returned to the land of the living!!
I’ve been sick for -it seems like forever- first stomach, then flu. But it’s been an interesting week. Tuesday I hadn’t been feeling TOO bad. Sick, yes, but not like warmed over food from last Thanksgiving! I had to run to the post office and grocery store. Between here and Randleman I started to cough, and I proceeded to cough, shiver, shake, sweat, and cry through the next hour until I got home. Went to bed and huddled there miserable.
So a friend called Tuesday night. She’s really been going through some unpleasant things and I wanted to minister to her. Between coughs I did. Woke up Wed morning and promptly went back to bed. I decided I just wasn’t getting up, period.
Well. God had other plans. 
My friend called back. We talked on the phone a good long while and I really wanted to pray with her. I don’t like to pray over the phone about things which are highly emotional. So I asked her if she was willing to risk the flu and come over. She was willing. TECHNICALLY we shouldn’t be contagious any more (5 days from 1st symptoms) but given that we’ve still got symptoms we want to be sure.
But get this — over the hour or so we talked on the phone, and the rest of the afternoon and into last night, I barely coughed at all and I went from feeling so tired I didn’t want to remain standing, to having a LOT of strength. God did it
We ended up praying for a good while and then we went to a church service at a place which has special ministry of the sort my friend needed. I ended up being ministered too. Awesome stuff that God was doing last night!!
Then I made Ken take me out for a chocolate milkshake
