Sickness and awakening
A bout food poisoning left moi' weak and tired after 7 hours of intermitten continual torture of regurgitation, and fever. As a result, I was unable to attend one of the main events, of which I was also a main organiser :( which I had really been looking forward to. Even had gotten some clothes for it - as it was it was a themed attire event. The morning after, was the morning the of the event, I woke up without fever, and excited to go. Then a few minutes later, realised my body was still zapped from last night's incident, and had energy only in spurts. By this time, I had to contact my friend with transport arrangments, and the other ladies in leadership to inform of the unsavory news. They encouraged me to come if I could. So I tried. Waited from 9 plus to 10.00 am to gain energy. Still zapped, and dizzy - had to lie down to gain some energy to go and prep food for Little Boy. Then waited again from 10.00 to 10.30 am in hopes that I will be strong enough to catch a cab to go there. In all, I waited till 12.20 noon. Then passed out till 2 plus.
In the back of my mind, I was wondering, God is in control of all things... I guess I accept personal failure in failing to hear? Was this the reason? Hubby checked and the rest who ate the same stuff as I did had no food poisoning. Only moi'.
I felt the Lord had a purpose for this. Very strangely, in planning for the event, had felt an earlier need to let those who had been involved with this group for some time of sharing. Was I disappointed for not being able to go? Yes.
I was very much looking forward to seeing the ladies in action and meeting them again.
Two phone calls of concern came, one sharing a concerned and kind persuasion to explain the seriousness of my condition to the rest as why I did not turn up. Later conversations revealed some were quite upset and disappointed. Sorry that I was a damper to the event.
At the back of my mind, felt the Lord had a reason for this. What the enemy intended for evil, the Lord turns it around for good. One day we shall look back and laugh at all these.
This morning, I asked myself. do I truly love? Do I truly love my friends? Do I truly love my family? Amo te?

Don't feel guilty for getting sick though.
Good to prove the event was held up by a team ;)
