In Sickness and In Health

Why is it that we seem to take turns being sick or hurt? This has been going on for 5 years.

Since my last post, I was sick for a very long time. I know it tried Kip's patience...how could someone be sick for so long? I'm sure he said. Finally, just a few weeks ago, my health returned. My joy at a new life was overflowing. With my voice finally returned to me (oddly enough, in the Dentist's chair), I praised my God with all my heart. I joined Weight Watchers - it feels like going to AA meetings, but I am amazed at how it's helping me stay on track. So far, I'm down 12 pounds. Next was the gym. I have a new love - working out with my iPod. The funny thing is that I'm having a hard time keeping my hands still while walking. Sometimes my heart is so full, I want to lift my hands in worship or sign along with a song. I wonder what would happen if I lost myself and just let go. :)

Now that my health (after 3+months) has finally returned, my husband takes a turn for the worse with his back. He finally agreed to get some help for his back. Join me in praying for him.
