I'll keep this short because it's been a long week for many of us and I am a little worn out to say the least…
Last night (now two nights ago) was a little terrifying for me. I think either my body's continued rejection of food is catching up with me or I am coming down with something. I staggered around for a bit with my ears ringing and my vision blurry with a pounding headache and a feeling of faintness. A few times I had to lay on the floor to get the room to stop spinning (bless Chester for putting up with this while he was asking to go outside). I was not up for studying or really existing at the end of the night, but I had to try and cram just a little before calling it quits.
So I read the last four required chapters of my Forensic Pathology text, looked over some material for my Operating Systems final, and considered my dues paid. Before I fell asleep, I prayed for mercy, to clear my mind and heal my body at least for this day. I mean I really pled with Him.
And what a happy coincidence; today I was able to eat (after being hungry — imagine that!) and walk without feeling like water was sloshing around in my head. In other words, I feel much better.
Answered prayers have a way of making me feel very close to God. I feel like He laid a hand on me and whispered "I haven't forgotten about you" before I woke up this morning… A very good feeling. Amen.
