choosing joy

hello friends! I wanted to post a little earlier today, but wasn't able to. These last 24 hours have been pretty dang crappy. I've been pretty sick :(...fever, stomach, chills, aches, migraine. The works. Although I'm feeling significantly better now, please pray that this would COMPLETELY end. I hate being sick in another country! Pray that the Lord would touch and set my body back into the regular and that I would get sweet rest as I go to sleep in a couple hours. Pray for peace as well, as being sick in another country w/o family is a little stressful haha. I was reminded today that even through this kind of junk, staying focused on the Lord is the key...that he won't give me more than I can handle or what would completely overwhelm me. So keeping my eyes on Him. Learning that joy in these times is HARD, but not impossible :)....Thanks for praying!

love,
bethany
