Paul has been feeling so much better. Last Saturday I prayed hard that his jaw would be released so that he could eat again. Sunday morning we talked and it was about the same -- I felt so discouraged. However, by dinnertime he could almost open his mouth completely, swelling had gone down, and the pain in his ears had subsided substantially. All I can is Praise the Lord!!!! I know healing that fast could have only come from the Lord. Please continue praying for him -- everything is not totally gone. He has energy and is getting some cabin-fever but needs to continue staying home as he is still contagious and can catch secondary infections easily. It is so hard to stay home when that's all you've been doing for almost 3 weeks and you're "feeling healthy"! Please pray that he will have the wisdom to discern what he should and should not do.
I've gotten back into soccer which has been a lot of fun. We played a very intense game this Wednesday--it was so hot and humid! Normally we play for 2 hours with > 20 people, but with only 8 people and double the running we barely lasted an hour. It's been good for me to start playing again; I've watched way too much Netflix recently ;) I was also blessed to hang out with my friends CJ, Stephanie and their friend Jolene last weekend. We went to Canada's Wonderland which is similar to Six Flags. I was very impressed by this theme park! We had a lot of fun riding roller coasters and I was glad to have some company. I also celebrated Canada Day Sunday night by watching them shoot off fireworks over the canal.
Aside from this weekend, it's been a pretty quiet week, both at home and in the office. My roommate left to counsel at a camp, butI have a family staying with me now so that has added a little bit of excitement to my life. Funny enough, their oldest daughter just graduated from Taylor, their second oldest daughter is currently there now as a Junior, and their youngest is considering going there! It's always so fun to find these connections.
I'm not terribly good at working alone and staying motivated. With the office being so quiet, I find myself being very distracted. It's hard at this point because I can confidently say at this point that everything functionality related is done. All that's left is sorting out what to do with applications, online giving, and content. All of those things I can't do on my own, so it's hard to know what to work on. Pray that I will stay focused and productive. Pray that the Lord will give me tasks to do until I'm officially finished working at the office July 20th.
We have also had more sickness and illness descend upon our office. Our office manager - Harold, is out with an inner ear problem that causes him to become dizzy and nauseous, his wife said this is the worst episode he has ever had and there is no set time for when he will get better. He does quite a bit for us and it's hard having him out.
Maybe one day I'll learn to be concise. Thanks for sticking with me anyway :)
