Lightning Strikes Journal Entries 16-17 June 2019

June 16

7:00a – morning! Strange dream midst of Joe scared me awake. Put me in yucky mood. Ache all over. Feet hurt to walk on. Headache but it feels weird. Muscle randomly twitching thru body. Neck hurts. I just want to go back to bed.

8:00a- Joe sweet and put chicken in crockpot for me seasoned. Today’s Father’s Day but I’m not feeling it with kids not here. Glad Jakob’s here.

9:30a- balance very off today. Not feeling right. Let Joe know. Showed! me a storm’s coming

10:30a- taught Sunday School. Lesson was about Joseph’s brother visiting him in Egypt. Taught about kindness, forgiveness as God has forgiven us. (Eph 4:32). 

It began to storm with Lightning and thunder. Some of girls were getting scared. To be perfectly honest, I was too but I knew deep inside I had to be brave (I wanted to hide under table).

Reni asked ever so serious like, “Mrs. Melissa, I have question. What are we gonna do about the storm? I’m scared.”

I responded, “It’s going to be okay. We’re just gonna ignore the storm right now and focus on our lesson.” She said, “Ok” and smiled.

Kids just melt my heart. ❤ They certainly know how to help change your perspectives.  

12:00p- pain in lower back intense

2:50p- just finished lunch up with my Dad, Joe, & Jakob. Only able to wash part of dishes and get most of food put away. I’m hurting so bad! Need a nap. If it weren’t for it being Father’s Day, I’d stay in bed today.

4:00p- working straightening mission house up for next guests on 24th. Made 1 bed. Straightened out linens, & organized kitchen drawers. Back throbbing, out of breath, & exhausted. Have about a week to finish it up.  

6:00p- random hiccups

10:50p- I’m exhausted and really hurting all over. Hopefully, I’ll fall asleep quickly and stay asleep.

9:45a- enjoyed being able to spend one on one time with Jakob this morning. Alone for about 5 hours. Took that time to rest, watch hallmark movie, and start planning lessons for school upcoming.

Washing dishes causes great pain in back and chest. 

Attempted to finish a split skirt pattern I started two years ago, but couldn’t figure out how to get started on next step. It was Greek to me. Perplexing.

6:00p- discussed with Jakob decisions he needs to make in near future.

11:59p- struggling to fall asleep even after deep breathing exercise. Keep hearing noises outside. 

Low back throbbing, rt hip throbbing, itching, hands swollen and achy, feet ache, lower lft leg tourniquit tighten feeling with some numbness in lft foot,

7:38a- Rough night…Joe woke me up around 2:30 because I was snoring differently than normal…quiet and almost rhythmic.

Around 3:30, I had a nightmare about snakes.  About the time in my dream a snake was coming at me Joe touched me and scared me awake…thought I was going to have a heart attack!  Couldn’t get back to sleep very well after that.

8:28a- Laid back down for a little bit…woke back up with left arm and left leg partially numb.

10:31a -Decided to do the copy work for the hymn studies with my kids today. It was actually difficult for me to write that large! Not bad I think, but there’s room for improvements. 😊

8:22p- Work out day 2 – 10 Standing bicycle crunches; 11 Wall push ups; 10 Clapping crunches; 10 Fire hydrant left; 10 Fire Hydrant right; 8 Claps over head; 10 second plank.

Exhausted afterwards.  Muscles are sore, but feels good to stretch muscles.  Hopefully, I can keep at it.

Luke 12:6-7 – Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God? But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.

Thankful that not only is His eye on the sparrow, but He also watches and cares about me! We can take comfort in knowing that no matter what we may face in this world whether it is adversity, unfairness, fear, heartbreak or failures, God is in control and His goodness and mercy will follow us.

6:06pm – Amidst the frustrations of the day…….
