Christmas Day

In the holiday spirit, I decided to type in holiday colors...or color should I say. I always love Christmas because I get to spend time with my family and I get gifts. In other words, I loved Christmas for the wrong reasons. Gifts don't make Christmas, Christmas is a gift. Christmas is the day that Jesus was born. That was the greatest gift of all. Well, I forgot that and today I think I got what was coming to me. I know that God loves me and I know that He doesn't ever want me to suffer, but today I totally suffered. Not by God's hand, but sort of by my own. No even me, it's the fact that everything was so rushed last weekend and everyone got stressed out. Anyways, Karli and I got really sick today. We both woke up with an awful, throbbing headache that wouldn't go away no matter how many pills we took and then we started getting nauseous. Needless to say, we both had awful migranes. Karli threw up a couple hours after waking up and after that I had to lay down. Walking was almost impossible, my eyes were droopy, my head was worse than before and I just knew that if went to sleep right away I would feel better when I woke up. I was wrong. I woke up an hour later and my headache was almost gone so I thought I was all better. I got up, went to the bathroom and sat down on the couch. As soon as I sat down, my stomach started hurting even worse and I could barely stand but I knew that if I didn't get to the bathroom quick, I would make a huge mess on the floor so I ran to the bathroom, blacked out a couple times, not for very long or anything but still, and waited for it to happen. It never did. I never got sick I just got all kinds of sweatiness stuff on me. The heater in the bathroom was on and it was making me sweat very badly. When I first ran in I was getting cold sweats, but they changed pretty fast. Me sweating caused me to also get very light-headed and dizzy to the point where I almost passed out. I almost screamed for my mom to call 911, but I didn't. My hair was down and my neck was so hot and sticky so I started looking for a hair tie. I couldn't find one in the cabinet, mirror or closet so I prayed that God would help me find one and He did. It's almost like He literally put a ponytail on the edge of the bathtub for me. I was so glad. After that little episode, I went out into the living room and laid down on the couch next to my sleeping sister. I fell asleep for about a minute before I woke up and felt a little better. I didn't think that I should eat anything but I still felt better. I still couldn't stand up though. Anyways, long story short, I felt so much better. My sister did too. By the end of the day we were both eating candy and real food and laughing like we were never sick. It was a great feeling. The whole moral of this story is that God is listening. He answered my prayers by healing me. I told Him that I would give up having a husband so that I could get better, lol. I don't really know if He took me seriously or not. I guess I'll find out in a few years or so, lol. Anyways, I got several great gifts yesterday and today. I won't name all of them, but they were wonderful. I have on more gift from my mom that she needs to pick up tomorrow. She won't tell me what it is, but I'm sure that it's great. Anyway, Merry Christmas!
