The Sick Bug

After my post on Monday I got super sick. We went to pick up the kids and during that time I started feeling awful. So we came back and I was so sick to my stomach that I slept on the couch in the program center for an hour. Then I had to go get my girls so I could meet them and take them to dinner. After that I took my tempature and I had a fever. So not fun. Someone took my girls for an hour so I could rest for an hour again. I stuck it out the rest of the night so I could be with my girls. I felt miserable. On Tuesday my fever broke so my unit leader wanted me to stay in bed so I could rest all day. Thank God that a Volunteer came so that she could take care of my girls for the day. I slept all day and couldn't eat anything. (Sleeping all day is super unusual so I knew I was super sick). I took my girls to dinner and stuck it out the rest of the night even though my head and body was killing me. Wednesday I tried taking my girls to breakfast but I was still so sick to my stomach. I went and rested for the morning so I could join my girls at the pool. (since they really wanted me there). The pool was great for me. I felt a lot better yesterday night. This morning I am not a 100% but God is giving me strength so that I can be with my girls because they need me.

God gave me such a great group of girls this week. I am so thankful. I love how God gives you rest when you need it the most. I was getting so burnt out so even though I was miserably sick, God gave me the rest I needed. It is so cool to see how God works. I am so glad to be back with my girls though. They are so adorable and a blessing from God. :)

We listened to this really cool song in devos this morning. It's Casting Crowns new one. I'll post the lyrics here but it talks about laying it all down at Jesus's feet. I love it. It talks about laying down our lifes and giving it to God. I really needed to hear this because it is so easy to just want to control our own life but that is not how it works. God is teaching me to daily surrender my life to him.

At Your Feet lyrics



Here at Your feet, I lay my past down
My wanderings, all my mistakes down
And I am free


Here at Your feet, I lay this day down
Not in my strength, but in Yours I’ve found
All I need, You’re all I need


Jesus, Jesus, at Your feet
Oh, to dwell and never leave
Jesus, Jesus, at Your feet
There is nowhere else for me
There is nowhere else for me


Here at Your feet, I lay my future down
All of my dreams, I give to You now
And I find peace, I find peace

Here at Your feet, I lay my life down
For You my King, You’re all I want now
And my soul sings…


‘Cause I am free (here at Your feet)
All I need (is at Your feet)
I find peace
We’re at Your feet
We’re at Your feet


And I am free (here at Your feet)
All I need (is at Your feet)
I find peace
We’re at Your feet
We’re at Your feet
We’re at Your feet
We’re at Your feet


Here at Your feet
I lay my life down
