530 woke to bad headache, skin itching all over, stinging needle pain thru body, stuffy nose, rt hip throbbing.
Chose to read my Bible & devotions. Praying.
643 eyes getting heavy gping to close the for bout an hour them get up.
700a woke to migraine. Ugh! Taking rx. Have few things to do and finish looking over testimony before we leave. Oh, wait. I almost forgot I need to pack. That might be important.
1030 as I began looking over my testimony I had penned down tears began to flood my eyes. I don’t feel worthy to be called upon to do so. I pray Christ may be glorified not me. I stop and pray a while. I struggle with some details whether to include or not. God give me wisdom to say just what You want me to say.
130 heading to MS for the Jubilee. We head into winds and heavy rains. I feel my anxiety levels raising and my body tenses. I pray and ask God to help. Tears come into my eyes. We are safe.
230 we arrive safe to the hotel. They let us check in early. The lady in front of us tells desk clerk they have to stay because their house was hit by lightning and they lost a lot. It takes me moments to register what’s being said. I reach to my purse to give her a tract but realize I’ve already given my last one out and need to refill. It upsets me so and before I can recompose myself she’s gone. I hate missed opportunities. Lord, help me to be better.
1057 thoroughly enjoyed the singing. I recalled most of the songs and quietly sang along what I recalled. The mind is truly a miraculous muscle of God’s creation. I’m encouraged to keep serving God faithfully. Don’t quit. Pray more.
It’s been a full day. I am exhausted. Nerves are stinging thru body. Muscles in rt eye twitching. Hands swollen and throbbing. Skin itchy (probably nerves). Lft hand numb & tingly. Center of chest hurts. Rt hip & low back throbbing. Lft ankle & foot tingly. Toes tingly. Low back throbbing. Headache but not as bad as this morning. Stuffy nose. Tongue feels swollen & burned (I did drink a cup of coffee before service to keep me awake during services. I try not to drink caffiene much as it make my nerves jittery).
Will pray a while before dozing off to sleep. Need good night’s rest for tomorrow.
Night meds taken.
1142 prayed a while. Still awake.
Forgot the melatonin. Wondering if Benadryl will work. Took 1/2 pill. Fell asleep after midnight sometime.

1110 been a long busy wonderful day.
Woke nauceous to my stomach and nerves jittery. Knew it was just nerves. Cried already before morning services.
Able to give my lightning strike testimony for first time publicly. I was quite nervous but God held my hand and helped me. Several people thanked me for sharing my testimony and it was a blessing to them. Thank you, Lord.
Joe had kids record it on Facebook and YouTube. Facebook post already has 228 views. To God be the glory!
I’m in a lot of pain now as I lay in bed. Headache. Low back, tailbone, & rt hip seriously throbbing. Hands throbbing. Back stinging. Ankles, feet, & toes tingling.
