The swine flu....confirmed case this morning.
Why am I sharing?
One, please pray for my kiddos and hubster. Pretty sure CM is done with it because he has been uber sick for SIX days now-blamed on a bad ear infection but when not responding to antibiotics realize now it was probably the flu as well (negative flu test last week). He is now on a new antibiotic, steroids for his asthma, and tamiflu for prevention just in case it wasn't the flu and now he is being exposed to it by me! RM is perfectly fine. MJ was coughing and kinda sick a few days ago so maybe he already had it too. JH is coughing and Lord knows I am praying he doesn't get it, that kid stays sick for longer than any I have seen when he gets sick. Pretty sure I was crying last night on the couch when I realized that I had a fever and had been holding and loving on him all day :( God is soverign, I am reminding myself.
Two- I have to tell you something wonderful.
My small group rocks. Many of them were texting me today to check up on my "cold" and to check on CM. When I told them I had the flu I am serious, in FIVE minutes I got like 3 texts and a bijillion emails. We have meals for like the next two months nearly :) .....They are seriously awesome. They joked that they would drop food off at my door and run. But,honestly, I know if I needed them to they would come over in my germ infested house and care for my children, do my dishes, even sit in the same room with me without a mask!!!!!
This reminds me how God lavishes his love on us. This is a smaller version of how wonderful heaven is going to be. This is Christ's work done through His Children. Simply Amazing.
Do you have a small group? If not, you need one :) I'd love to tell you more about mine. I honestly cannot imagine living life without one. I really first experienced this several years ago and it has changed my life. I always thought that is what family is for and I have a great family so I don't really need a small group. That was dumb. I do have a fabulous fam-they rock-but seriously, could you ever have "too much love"?!?!?!?!
My small group is true to this verse, exactly....see Romans 12
10Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves. 11Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. 12Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. 13Share with God's people who are in need. Practice hospitality.
14Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. 15Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn.
SO GO DO IT, RUN DON'T WALK TO JOIN A SMALL GROUP.....

OH NO! I have been worried about getting it, bc Korea won't let you out of the airport from what I hear if you have a temp. Plus I don't want to get sick. Luke works with 200 people on one floor. I call it his daycare bc he brings home illnesses for me.
I feel like most of my facebook friends have H1N1. I'm so sorry. How miserable! Doesn't sound like you need anything, but if you do I'm not far away.
I agree 100% about the small group!
Now...you get to feeling better and keep that mask on!
Hugs to you and your sweet fam!
You are loved - so, so loved.
Get well, my friend.
Love you right back girl. sorry for the Apple Crack. : ) Not really.
