Just to get this off my chest…I have a cold (started while we were in Nakuru-no I didn’t catch it from the 16 or so people living there…most likely brought it with me so I’m hoping they don’t catch it!) I’m not very good with being sick, meaning I find it hard to “work through” the illness but with 12 people coming on Sunday I need to get some stuff done. Yesterday we purchased a lot of the dry food stuff along with paper products and Saturday we’ll be picking up many of the fresh food items for the week. Arrangements are being made for transport – confirmations I guess I should say, we’ve already talked with the drivers 🙂 Today, along with a few personal errands, Tarrin and I will be making sure the room is prepared for everyone because that first day will be exhausting and I want them to be able to just crash once they arrive at the compound.
Having things to do while being sick is sometimes how I feel about my spiritual walk…finding it hard to focus and continue on, but I know God is ALWAYS there even when I’m not looking at Him. When I eventually realize (usually through much prompting by the Holy Spirit) my focus is off and return to seeking God then I find I’m not just “working through” my sluggish walk, but truly enjoying the time the Lord grants me to serve Him. So sick or not I am enjoying that God has shown me how He wants me to serve at this particular moment. <cough, sniff>
