6.30 I think I actually got a little over six hours sleep last night. Took long time to fall asleep. Feel like I was beat up and every part of me is so swollen.
I can choose to wallow in self pity or I can choose joy!
9.00a attending church growth conference with Joe today. Not sure how I’ll do but I’m pushing myself to do it. I love serving along side with my husband.
10.00 Joe & I had good talk on our trip. I miss the one on one with him. Discussed that I probably wouldn’t be as far in my recovery if it hadn’t been for the Lord’s help and my pushing myself more than I probably should at times.
3.41 I’m really hurting. Going to car to stretch out.
8.30 told Joe that Pastor Carr helped jogg a memory from when I was a child. He mentioned “great” preachers of the faith. At some point, Pastor Carr mentioned Carl Hatch. When I heard that name, memories of when as a child my family lived in Fairbanks, AK. Dr Carl Hatch was preaching revival services at our church. He was a singer and preacher. He had a record he was promoting and I wanted one. I remember going home and counting all my money in my bank. I had just enough to buy a record the next night. I was so proud that I was able to get one.
9 30p back home. Good day. Kids glad were home and missed us. Sat in our room chatting about their day for about an hour.
Whole body aches. Headache. Thirsty.

Today we get to do something I’ve been wanting our family to do for while. We are doing a mission project…helping fix up SEAHOPE boat getting it ready for sea.
I don’t know how much I’ll be able to do but I’m here.
Rae & I got to help stencil & paint SEA Hope words on life jackets.
1.30 left mission project. Heading home. I’m exhausted and hurting but enjoyed myself. Feel bad that we didn’t finish assignment. Told her maybe we could come back.
Once home, had to rest a while. Still need to get stuff for Rae’s bday dinner. Guys went hunting.
