I have been at home for the past 3 days with a horrible stomach virus. The most aggravating part of it is that I had a whole week off from school and the day I get it is the day I'm supposed to go back. Go figure. Thankfully school this week hasn't been to busy and I haven't missed a bunch of important stuff.
I miss everyone!! I hope you all are doing well. It seems like every time I turn around someone else is getting sick. I've been thinking the past couple of weeks about all this sickness. Have you ever noticed that when your physical body is down it affects your spirit man? Well of course you have. Bekah was talking to me last night about what she put on her blog (note to Bekah: I know it may have sounded like I wasn't paying any attention and was completely out of it but I caught ever word!) and it so goes along with what Christ has been showing me. It's so important to stir ourselves up. No matter what we are going through. Even though our physical body may be tired and beat up we have to keep immersing ourselves in the Word and in fellowship. We have to obey Him. Even though we may be sick we have to rise up and walk. To continually put on the armor of God and stay in fellowship with Him and one another. When we walk like this it pleases God. Anything less would be rebellion to what He has called us to. It's really simply walking in faith. No matter what we are going through we can't stop. It's a race and like Amber says sometimes, "you may be vomiting (spiritually/physically) on the way but you keep on going because He is worthy." So if you are sick today hold on to the Truth and stir yourself up. And if you're not- stir yourself up. We are called to be saints. Saints who walk victoriously in the power of His might! We must WALK in the light as He is in the light and have FELLOWSHIP with one another so that the blood of Jesus will cleanse us from all sin. I hope you are encouraged- all of you.
*just a side note: My stomach is feeling much better now :)

I don't know if you have any idea how encouraging it was for me to come here and read this. :-D I miss you so much!!
I love you so much my dear, dear friend, and I pray that the Lord provide you with the strength you need for each moment. The energy needed to take that each step, even down to the moment your eyes close and you drift to sleep at night.
I'll see you later!
