Slightly Fevered Quiet

I have had an interesting couple of days.

I spent Monday with two friends from YWAM Calgary that I met on the trip to Mexico - my "twin" (Sara) and Miriam. (Ironically enough, while sitting in a coffee shop in Mackenzie Townes with Sara and a couple other friends, someone who knew the other three, but not me came in and asked Sara if I was her sister. We laughed pretty hard over that one! Mexico all over again. "You'd really never even met before this trip? You're sure you're not sisters?") So much fun, relaxing, doing some shopping, and sitting in a coffee shop sharing life. I am grateful for new friends in my life right now.

Yesterday was also a unique day, that I can't really say a lot about. I did something I've needed to do for a while, something that God confirmed in Mexico, but that was very scary and difficult for me. I faced a situation that is hard, and spoke my heart, and the things I felt God was speaking.

Today, I am ill. I was going to spend the evening hanging out with my mom at a movie, but wasn't feeling that well, checked my temperature at dinnertime and discovered a 101.3 degree Fahrenheit fever. Nothing brilliant, just another cold and sore throat. This is what happens when you're sick for five months. You have no immune system left and spend a lot of time catching every bug that goes around.

So I'm blaming my slightly muddled state of mind on the fever (although it probably has more to do with the emotionally, relationally, and spiritually charged nature of the last four or five days!) And here's to hoping I'll be better tomorrow - I'm writing a really great piece on redemption, and I want to work on it and put it here, as well as the very basic fact that I need to spend some time job hunting.
