A Sick Week (Literally)

Last Saturday I started "really" feeling the affects of a cold or something.   The next morning (Sunday) I knew that I needed to stay home, but due to the large quantity of commitments and the events of the day, I asked God to help me make it through the day.  He did, though by the afternoon/evening I had almost no voice and wasn't feeling to well.  So as a result I stayed home sick on Monday.  Tuesday came and I knew that I needed a second day to stay home and rest, but I also knew that I was greatly needed in the classroom at the school.  So I went to church anyways.   I was greatly needed in the classroom and was told how greatly missed and needed I was on Monday.   However, though I had gone off of sweets and stated eating many oranges daily, healing didn't come.   Wednesday, I had the great privilege to go over to Bryce and Heidi's house for dinner with the other SLI Year 2's (though Brooke had other plans and wasn't able to make it).  After dinner we all went to church for Life Groups, but I decided to head home and go to bed early to catch up on some rest in hopes to kick the sickness away.   Though it helped, it didn't completely do it.  To the point that Thursday night the cold or whatever it is that I have got a lot worse and I stayed home sick on Friday - it's so hard to be in bed all day.  Yes I slept till mid afternoon and rested for a few hours after that, but I like to be up and doing something or driving somewhere.  I don't like being stuck in bed.   Friday night I cheated on my no sugar rule for the week, and had a piece of Daniel's Birthday brownie desert.   Saturday morning I went to Healing School at the church and then stayed home most of the rest of the day to catch up on rest - I did head out once with Jim and Laura to go to Costco to get our membership.   Sunday I'm not any better.   I stayed home from church, informed the leaders that I wasn't going to make it to my serving at Sunnyside nursing home today nor Christmas in Concert Practice today.   I have spent the day resting and praying.  I hope that I can be back to good health for SLI tomorrow.   9 Days is a bit to long for such a cold.   I am trying to avoid going to a doctor mainly because I am not a Canadian Citizen and the whole trip would be out of pocket and likely quite expensive.  Yes I am a ton better now than I was this morning (contrary to how the past week has been where I've been better in the mornings and worse in the evenings), but I am still not at full health.   Still praying for complete healing and comfort from God.  .  .
