- ready-made progresso soup. i swear by these things. they are yummy, and i can eat them after not being able to eat for several hours. really, i'd be ok not eating right now, but i'm sort of weak, so i know i need to!
- people who are willing to bring me things-i called both beth and bekah and they brought me gatorade, saltines, and applesauce. these things are like a liferaft when your stomach just won't cooperate.
- getting a chance to rest. i know that being sick is not a great reason to rest, but apparently i needed something to get me to chill out. on that note, i've had time today to have some good catch-up conversations.
- breath mints and hot tea. did you know that breath mints help with nausea? it's true. i am never without them. and i don't drink hot tea a lot, but when you are woken at 5:30 in the morning by a violent tummy... i don't know of anything more comforting.
a couple other random notes: i move in less than a week! yay! i'm so pumped to be in my new place.
i saw the movie Jesus Camp on saturday night with peter, jackie, tawndee and jason. i will definitely be commenting on this viewing, because the level of disturbance it caused in my brain warrants an entry. but i'm still processing.

Maggs,
I know that you are dealing with a great many things, but I found you some "comfort food" to help you cope!
The following is from Pastor Paul:
Jesus promises that He will never leave us or forsake us (Heb. 13:5). When we love Him, we can count on that promise. In good times and bad, Jesus will �show up� in our lives. Secondly, Jesus promises to blow our minds. The Bible says that �no eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love Him� (1 Cor. 2:9). In other words, if we will truly set our affections on God, He will do things that defy all explanations and exceed all expectations! Finally, Jesus promises that in all things He works for our good (Rom. 8:28). That is not a promise that everything that happens in our lives will be good. Even if we love God, we can get sick, struggle in our jobs, have relational difficulties, and lose our loved ones. But for those who love Him, God promises to work everything out in such a way that we end up being blessed as well as being a blessing to others.
Good luck with the move and take care
