a week

i feel i haven't been this sick in forever. i have been in bed all week and everyday i thought it would get better and instead it kept getting worse. yesterday i feel was the worst. today i'm not good, but better than yesterday for sure. last saturday we went out with a few families and seven out of all that went have been sick this week, including me. i'm so glad A is okay. please pray for quick healing. again i'm feeling better today than yesterday. yesterday a friend, FN, brought me medicine and i'm pretty sure that's helping a lot right now. also SG blessed us yesterday by taking A out swimming. A enjoyed her time with her aunt S. thanks girls for taking care of us.

i'm actually pretty sad because this week i had some pretty cool opportunities with different people and i had to cancel all of them due to being sick. i was sad and almost forced myself to do it, but realized that's not glorifying God. God wants us to take care of our bodies. so as sad as it is, i pray those opportunities will come up again.

when i would get sick like this, P would take such good care of me. he would make soup and bring it to me in bed. he would get magazines for me to read. P was always so thoughtful. have missed him a lot this week. not just so he could take care of me, but A too. times when i'm sick was times daddy and A dates were more exciting. last night A said, "mommy i wish daddy was here." i think she feels he should take care of us too and not her having to take care of me. A had it rough this week. in the beginning i think she was a little scared that i was sick. then she started to take care of me... she's really sweet. she put her hand on my head and prayed for me to feel better. this is her prayer, "thank you God for mommy to feel better. in Jesus name. amen." ha ha i love it.

please continue to lift up our health. i really pray A doesn't get it.

also please pray the whole month of ramadan. i'm not sure if the position of the sun changed or what, but it was supposed to start today (friday), but have changed it to tomorrow. tonight, families will have their last meal before fasting together. usually a big deal. some people travel to see extended family. this is an important month... please pray!!!
