sick...again

Tuesday, early, early morning I started to get really sick to my stomach, and by mid afternoon I pretty much had nothing left in my body.
I lied on the bathroom floor pretty much all morning long and waited for all the nastys to get out of me.
It has been a long time since I've been this sick.
Fortunately today, I am feeling much better and have eaten finally.
I am probably 10 lbs. lighter, but that weight will probably come back to as soon as I start eating full meals again.

I've been eating oatmeal, which a funny thing is, the only time I ever eat oatmeal is when I have a stomach flu. The last time I had one was years and years ago.

I think I got it from one of my students.
But ohwell. Life goes on.

I prayed that God would show me what I need to learn during my hours of pain and sickness,
I realized later on that evening when I called my mom to pray for me.

My husband Judah, he loves me a whole lot.
I haven't been sick like this really since I have known him.
He really took care of me. Cleaned up after me and checked on me through out the night.
He did everything I asked for and more.
He watched movies with me and
He even went to the store to get me some food.
It was really hard for us last night not being able to sleep next to each other and he handled it so well. I felt really bad.
He told me that he was disappointed that he wouldn't be next to me, but he understood that It would be best, since I didn't want to get him sick, plus any extra movement in bed probably would have made me want to vomit.

He is truly a dear.
I am so thankful for him.
Sometimes things like this happen just so you realize how much you need people.
So many times I try to do everything on my own.
I really needed Judah, and he was there for me.

I don't just want to depend on him when I am desperate and helpless.
I think I will try to "need" him more. Not to the point of annoyance, but just more than usual.

I want to be the same with God.
I don't want to need him sometimes, I want to need him all times, when I am lying on the floor in pain, wondering if I will pull through, and when I am running outside enjoying the beautiful weather.
