One Week Catch Up

wow - alright it has been a week since i last posted. so here i go - trying to remember what the past week has looked like.
work - graduation packets have been needed. boy that was a tough situation. lists to compare with other lists, names, data bases, none complete. i am hoping it all got out... that was monday, tuesday, wednesday, and i went in on thursday (tho i was off that day) to get it all fixed up.
left thursday to go with the gals from destiny church to the 2008 girlfriend's conference. that was great.
start from the beginning.
wed night i ate something.
thursday i got up early (very early because i was up past 1am doing something and i still have no evidence of what was accomplished...) around 8 and dragged to the shower. went in to work to finish up the mailing label merge (i just learned how to do this too...)that took 3 hours more than i expected. then i rushed home to make sure and meet the person house sitting for me. (bob is out of the country right now.) just barely made it. was starting to feel pretty junky but thought it was because of only having coffee and very little sleep. took a friend to lunch. still didn't feel real good, actually wanted to throw up or spend some time on the toilet (sorry mom - tmi) (too much information - tmi). took friend to her house. feeling disoriented and off because of whatever - still not EXACTLY sure why. threw up - that was a 'fun' experience.. all this time realizing the meet-to-leave-time was getting closer and closer and ooohhh right now!!! i called the pastor's wife and let her know what was going on. she said to keep her in the know. finally got to the church - and i was far from being the last person to show so wish i had known that earlier... (less pressure would have helped at any time during the puking part.) got put into a small car (i took a plastic bag with me). i threw up about two minutes out of the parking lot. the driver immediately pulled into a gas station (i felt horrified at throwing up in her car - plastic bag or not!!! i can only imagine being the ones eating and then all of a sudden the sound in the back seat - i will laugh about it by next year... - actually might in a few days to a week.). the entire group pulled in and waited for me to get some water and decide what to do. thankfully i was encouraged to press ahead, that there was no problem moving to another vehicle and going ahead. see i knew that i needed to go - the fact that so much stress had hit from work, and then getting sick. and i knew the conference was going to be amazing, i realized it was an attack but i had no idea how intense it could get. i also knew if i stayed home i would not come down later - just would not have done it unless someone went with me to make sure i got there. i had called mom and she prayed with me (just what i wanted to ask her for) and she reminded me of what the enemy tries to do when there is about to be something great happening. so we finally got on the road again. i 'slept' in the back of the suv and threw up once more. seemed to get it taken care of for the time. arrived at the hotel. got checked in and set up meeting times. went to eat - felt a bit ill before supper and better after. first night was great.
friday was ill feeling in the early morning. and i have a horrendous time sleeping in a new place anyway. hotels are the worst - the light under the door, paper thin walls, most of you know i am a light sleeper anyway and i heard every noise in the hall... woke up and did not get ill, just felt stomach discomfort for a few hours. (man i wanted to throw up - but i kept praying and telling it to settle down in the name of Jesus - it had no place in my body.) (call me a flake - His name works, i did not throw up and it was not because of anything i could or could not do.) the sessions were amazing. the food was great. and i slept alright the next night.
saturday woke with upset stomach and grabbed some water for breakfast (days since i have had coffee! what a craving..) those sessions were great (i had very little voice because i shouted and screamed thursday, got some back friday then lost it all again at the evening session. sat was able to sing a bit..) sessions ended for the morning and afternoon and we headed home. got back around 4.30. i went into work to be sure things were picked up, headed home and cleaned up, then went to church. came home. that about sums it all up.
hope to post insights during this next few days.
the entire experience was wonderful. so many things confirmed that God has been showing me and teaching me. i was reminded to do something for others - it doesn't matter what right now, but just to get involved and help another person - amazing how the love of God is experienced when giving to another. girl talk was great - fun and there were lots of nuggets to go over and have God show me logistics in bringing them to work here where i am at. God is good and He is always with me. even when i am screaming for something different - may expound on that later.
love to you all.
