sick.
I have been sick for a week-and-a-half now. Thankfully the anemia is gone, but I’ve gotten two separate, violent stomach bugs and now I have a sinus infection.
Is it getting kind of old, hearing about my health? It’s getting old writing about it.
All of this illness leaves David and I at a loss. Right when I started to get out and about, to want to wear something other than sweatpants all day, to get a spring in my step, I got hit hard. We got hit hard—because it affects the whole family of course.
It has to be my immune system. I am taking endless vitamins and supplements and drinking lots and on allergy medication, but my body just can’t seem to fight off the germs.
In the midst of all this, I am thankful for three things tonight:
1. My depression and anxiety are, at least for the time being, lifted.
2. I don’t know when it happened, but somehow, I’ve made the switch from wanting to go “home” when things get hard, to feeling like this is my home. I look around at the bright sunshine and our homey apartment and growing friendships, and realize I don’t want to be anywhere else.
3. My mom is coming tonight!

Julie, I ran into your mom at Chickfila on Monday! She saw ME and came up to me and gave me the best hug!!! She told me that she was leaving the next day to come to see you!!! I hope you all have a nice visit. Sometimes having a mom around when you are sick is so nice!!! Anyway, I told her to hug you for me. Miss you and love you!!!

Oh Bridget! She told me she saw you! That makes me so happy. Yes, it is amazing having her here. It was like Christmas when she came … brown sugar, m&m’s, Oreos!!! And of course Judah had to get some new Cars characters. 🙂
Are you working again? How is it going?
Love you!

I praise, and I pray.
And over and over He leads me back to “and hope does not disappoint.”
love you.
