Thankful?

Can we get personal?? Can I complain to you a little? No? Well I'm going to anyway.

I have felt sick/like crap for about the past...well I can't remember last Time I felt 100%. If it's not one thing, it's another. I now have re-caught the cold I had two weeks ago and I can't eat with out getting really sick. So far today I've had half a bagel and a handful of peanuts. Last night I spent the night laying in the bathroom floor, afraid to move because I might throw up. I've never been so nauseated before!

Before you get all "oh you're pregnant" on me..I'm not. I'm not quite sure what's wrong though. I go to see my gastrologist tomorrow so maybe he can help me. If anyone out there reading has Celiac like me..do you have problems even when you are sure you don't consume gluten?? Or is it just me??

Anyway I wanted to hollar at you for prayer requests and also to let you know this...
As I was laying in the bathroom floor last night saying prayers to make the nausea stop I realized that it could be so much worse than just a little bit of nausea. I stopped praying for my dizziness which felt very insignificant at the moment and started praying for others that are going through so much more. Like my friend from work for instance. She has Hodgkin's Disease and is undergoing chemotherapy treatments to try and shrink the malignant tumors on her spine. She is a trooper. She is at work everyday, trashcan close by. Never misses a beat. I really wish I had her courage.

I also prayed for another co-worker whose husband was chemically burned all over his body at work last week. He's been in the hospital undergoing many surgeries and they think he will be OK. They have three young children.

I think of all the people on Kelly's Korner's prayer request list. So many people who are hurting so bad and in so much more need of prayer than me. It eases my pain a little to know that there are things much worse that could be happening in my life and I thank God that he has blessed me with so much.
We don't know why things bad happen to us but maybe your suffering will cause someone to look at their life and thank God for what they have. Maybe your suffering will make someone reevaluate their lives and cause them to put the important things first, like God and family. I'd like to challenge you to stop and think about what you are thankful for and thank God for it.

So...what else are you thankful for? I know you are thankful for your children, husbands, and families...but what else?? Leave me a post and Let me know!!

I'm thankful for fall! Only God could create something as beautiful as the changing of the leaves!...

...So comment already! Let me know what you are thankful for.
