Home Sick

Thursday Morning:

The last few days I've had symptoms of a cold, but I've ignored them.  It thought it was something small and that it would go away.  I was wrong. I woke up this morning feeling miserable.  I debated staying home, and concluded on praying about it.  Every time I prayed, I heard God speak the words that He spoke to me this past weekend, "Rest."  I was like, "yes I know I should rest, but should I stay home or not today.  It would be a bad day to stay home from church. I have aftercare and during the 4 hours of Kindergarten assistance we happen to have 6 more kids visiting the class.  But I felt God saying that he wanted me to stay home and rest.  I thought, okay, well this will give me time to catch up on reading my SLI book and updating my blog - which I am really behind on where I would like to be.  Plus it will give me an extended time with God today.

Well these thoughts quickly disappeared when I remembered that last night I had decided to leave my bible, book and laptop at church to prevent any distractions going to bed last night.  drat.   Well, ... hmm ... this put a little hiccup in my plan.  In the end, I drove to church at a little after 7:00am and retrieved my book, bible and laptop and returned home.  When I got home, I went straight to bed (around 7:40-7:50am).  When I woke up I figured that it was late morning, but I had a good sleep.  I rolled over and looked at the time and WOW, it was 2:40pm.  I got some good rest, praise God!
