I am bringing in my 27th with the FLU. This must mean that things can only get better from here on out for me this year. I have never had the flu. The flu really sucks. Yesterday was the worst and today I'm feeling a bit more alive. I came home to San Antonio this weekend to spend some time with the family and go to "women of faith" with my mama.
However, I have spent the last 24 hours on the living room couch doing rotations of: reliv, medicine, bathroom, sleep, reliv, medicine, bathroom, sleep....
To make matters worse, I can't taste anything and I have the runs. So...visions of a delicious birthday meal and dessert have quickly vanished. Alas, although a bit down in the dumps, I have much to be greatful for and look forward to in this 27th year.
Here are the lyrics to a Phil Whickam song that are hitting the right chord with me this season in life.....
"Sailing on a ship"
A voice is on the wind
It calls me further in
I'm heading deeper into Your heart
Your mark is on my chest
My sails filled with your breath
You guide me by the light of the stars
I'm sailing on a ship that's bound for life
I wrestle with the wind against the tide
I leave it all behind to reach for more
I'm sailing on to your golden shore
Though skies go blue to grey
And I'm thrown from wave to wave
You still will hear these lungs singing hard
With every storm I face, I find a greater grace
That pulls me deeper into Your heart
I'm sailing on a ship that's bound for life
I wrestle with the wind against the tide
I leave it all behind to reach for more
I'm sailing on
To where the water's running sweet and bright
The sun is rising in the eastern sky
I leave it all behind to reach for more
I'm sailing on to your golden shore
