The image above might be self-explanatory...I have been sick :( Pink eye, strep throat, chicken pox, and seasonal flu are making their way through the BFA community.
For the past week and a half, I have been visited by a lovely little virus known as 'shingles.'
After accompanying me to the local German doctor, Sue (dorm mom) instructed all the students in Liel that no one was allowed to give me hugs in an effort to prevent any more outbreaks. This is the worst part of being sick, but the students here have been so sweet...Joyce hugs my right arm...Britta and Ira have written me encouraging notes... and Lauren and Elaine (fellow RAs) have brought me orange roses. And so, despite the pain ...and the rash...and the itching...and all the medicine, I rejoice because of these sweet sisters of mine that make my heart glad.
I would be so grateful for your prayers--for relief from the itching and pain, for patience as I wait on the virus to pass, and for continued hope that God will use all of my afflictions for good.
You might also pray for the other BFA students and staff who are sick right now and unable to attend school. If the Lord is willing, He has the power to make us well!
Thanking God for you today,
Lauren
