It's all in how I endure it . . .

**sigh** So ALAS! I am sick- yet again! I think I have the Flu (ironic since I just had a flu shot like a week and a half ago! actually I think that may be why I'm sick now!) My immune system just doesn't seem to work like everyone else's! stupid dumb ol' immune system!

But, I have to stop myself. I had a very very strong impression this last week (since I've been in the hospital and stuff) that this is a very important trial in my life. I've come to grips with the fact that I may have some health issues for a bit- but what really matters is how I endure them! I think I can finally say that the Lord isn't punishing me for not being 'good enough', but this is my trial, and I need to endure it the best that I can! So, even though I'm not feeling super great, today was an ok day!

I really shouldn't complain at all, cause really- how many people in this world have what I have?? How many people have the kind of support system I've got here! And how many people get to live so close to their family (which includes you flee).I mean, really- I'm feeling very blessed tonight! Sorry to steal from you Jenn (sister, not daughter) but I'm posting the quote you found here, cause it really impressed me. I felt a very strong witness that I need to practice this theory in my life! so here it is:

Hope is the anticipation that the outcome will be good.

Worry is the anticipation that the outcome will be bad.

Faith is the anticipation that whatever the outcome, it will be for our good.


I've always been a pretty hopeful person- but I have also been a great worry-er as well! (gosh, I can't imagine where I could have gotten that from **cough-dad-cough**) hee hee!) So, as my . . er . . new-november's resolution I'm going to try, really try, to not worry so much! We'll see how it goes!


anyway. It's super late and I need sleep. I just had to write a quick post before I nodded off!

peace out!
thats all!
