Hmmmm.....

This post won't be that long. I haven't had a lot of excitement since Sunday (Baja+ guest speaker= awesome day!) mainly because I've been sick since then. The past few days have consisted of sleep, TV, and then more sleep. Not exactly life changing, and really disappointing after the weekend I had.

First on my list, Baja meeting. So I'm planning on going down to Baja, Mexico this summer for a mission trip with a small team from our church. We're going to be spending a week on a worksite helping build a summer camp for the children in that community as well as doing a VBS for the kids. Then the next week we're doing our adventure part and going kayaking. While I know that this trip itself will be exciting, the part that's really got me fired up is the team I'm working with. God has definitely brought together a great team and I'm really looking forward to seeing Him move through us! We had our first "official" meeting on Sunday, complete with the team building game, discussions, etc. I have to say, it's been awesome to be able to get back into the mission trip groove with the meetings and letters and stuff. I've missed it all year.

Second, our guest speaker. He's been a missionary in Africa for several years, building schools for the areas where most kids are unable to continue schooling even when they passed the national test. It's just sad what those poor kids go through, and hearing a story like this really puts into perspective all that we as Christians should and can do for others. I don't know whether I'm being called to be a teacher in Africa or not, but hearing his story has just been making me think over everything I'm already doing and how much more is possible for me to do through God's power.

But it's really rather disappointing that after such an awesome Sunday, I became sick and had to stay at home. Nausea, sore muscles, a sore throat, a headache so bad I can't concentrate on ANYTHING (feels like a million sledgehammers pounding against my head), dizziness whenever I move even a tiny bit. Seriously, I've had to lean against something or go REALLY slowly when walking just so that my legs won't collapse from under me, not to mention how dizzy I feel when moving. It's been miserable not being able to do anything for these three days (soon to be 4). But from being so weak, I've had to rely on God to get me through the days. While my headache has prevented me from reading my Bible and listening to music, I've been praying a LOT. So I guess being sick was partly a good thing since I've had to learn to lean on God's strength instead of my own.

SO.....yeah. That's it. It was a bit longer than I thought it would be, I probably rambled a lot. Forgive me if I did, my mind isn't exactly in the best condition right now.... On a completely different note, Sydney's home!! I'm just sad I had to be sick when she came home. But hey, spring break is coming up and I'll get to hang out with her at Baylor next Friday and Saturday, so it's not that bad. Hopefully something exciting will happen over spring break, I'm tired of just sitting around the house. Any prayer requests guys?? Love you all.
