I've been sick since last Saturday, and this has been the longest week. I'm pretty sure it is the flu, and I'm still getting over it. I am so grateful for Stan's patient, loving care this week. I know it's been very hard to carry the load alone. I can't remember when I felt this sick for so long. I know it's only been 6 days, but it's felt like an eternity. This is the first morning when I haven't had serious, painful body aches, so I'm beginning to feel hopeful. The Lord has carried us through this time, and now I just pray that He'll protect my family from getting it, too. I'm trying not to feel down about the fact that I won't be able to run in the Rock Shrimp 10K. I've been training to run in this race for about 3 months, and I was really looking forward to it, but even though I'm feeling a little better this morning, I will definitely not be race-ready by Saturday. The Lord works all things together for good, though, and I am trusting that.
