no.101 130809 Thank you for my health

At the Manzanillo beach. It was beautiful but I don't want to think about it until I'm completely better:(

 

I can't believe I missed my 100th post yesterday! I'm really upset but I was sick in bed all day. I got sick on the second last day of the mission trip and on the way home was pretty bad. I think it was the heat, stress relieved by finishing off the ministry, fatigue, and finally the food I ate at the beach. Just thinking about the beach makes me nauseous. And no more Mexican food please.

I came back from Mexico on Wednesday evening. After a nice shower, I had some of the rice porridge my dad made for me and went straight to bed around 8PM. I slept like a baby and I got up around noon the next day. Still feeling sick, I was in bed all day. I couldn't really eat in the morning but towards the afternoon, I was able to eat some fresh fruit and some jook. I thought I wouldn't be able to sleep last night because I napped so much during the day. But I was wrong, I slept for another 12 hours without waking up once in the middle of the night. I guess my body really needed a good rest.

I really thought I wouldn't be able to make it home with my team. I'm so thankful that God looked after me even when I was sick. All I prayed on the way home was for God to heal me. Thankfully, except for that one time, I didn't have to use the bathroom on the airplane. I'm also thankful for my team who took care of me when I was sick. According to my dad, I looked like a homeless person when he first saw me at the airport. I lost 4 lbs, I got tanned and I was wearing baggy shirt so... I guess I get where he comes from.

One more thing I'm thankful for and I wanna celebrate today is my sister's birthday. I can't believe my baby is turning 20 today!!! Happy birthday little sis! Love you lots, and we'll celebrate when you come home next weekend!
