It’s so frustrating being sick. I woke up yesterday morning with a really bad cough.. and it’s just progressed from there. Tomorrow is Day of Prayer though, so it’ll be amazing to have an opportunity to rest and sleep.

I would ask for prayer for one of my close friends – her best friend’s mom passed away last night after going into a coma from colon cancer. There’s nothing easy about seeing someone you love pass on… or seeing someone you love hurting from a recent death. One thing I encouraged her in was to allow herself to grieve. I know that I have often believed that grieving was just a sort of weakness or a not allowing myself to move on – but as I was reminded, grieving the loss of someone you love is part of healing. Don’t forget that.
