boy have the past few days been the worst i've lived through in a long time.

the fever i'd been having since saturday afternoon absolutely refused to go away even after seeing the doc on monday and being on antiobiotics....so i made my way to the doc again yday. must have been quite a hilarious sight since i was wrapped up in my momma's shawl and shivering and chattering really badly all the way down to the doc's office. so the doc thought it might be dengue and did a blood test. now usually i flip out at the suggestion of having a blood test done coz my veins normally collapse and then i do..haha but in yday's state, i figured nothing could be worse than the way i felt. so i had it done quickly and painlessly without a struggle. haha so i think i'm finally might be able to say i've conquered my fear of bloodtests. i just gotta do them lying down and from the back of my palm.

anyhow, at the doc's place yday, when she said i could possibly be down with dengue, it suddenly dawned on me that i may not be able to fly off on Saturday. everything i'd planned for and looked forward to the past 6 months could potentially not happen. and that got me really really upset obviously...

then what i read for QT that morning from Psalm 27 came to mind....to wait for the Lord, to be strong and take heart...tabby happened to share her qt thot of the day that morning with me too which was this: "let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith" Hebrews 12:2a. so from the time i was having my blood taken till i got my results that night...i had to fix my thoughts on Him...

and again, it struck me. i could plan and do all these things...but ultimately, God's in control. Which is exactly what Provers 16:9 says..."In his heart a man plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps." never had that verse seemed more true...

anyhow, after an agonizingly long wait (coz the clinic didn't send my blood sample to the lab in time) the good news is that i've tested negative for dengue and my temperature's finally gone down. i'm hoping and praying i'm completely well by Sat so i can fly off...but whether or not that really happens remains to be seen....so i'm cautiously optimistic i must say.... : )

if all goes well, with more sleep (i think i've already slept enough the past week to make up my entire university life's worth of sleep debt), i should be able to flyyyyy :)

thanks for praying and asking how i've been. really appreciate it.

oh, and i've got just 1 interview tmr before i leave. Again, i can't help but think how God knows so clearly what i can and cannot cope with before i leave. He is good indeed! oh, and it's an interview with Fei Yue!! haha goodness...what am i gonna do about my chinese? heh well if there's an oral component, i'll just cough my way through all the words i don't know how to read...and it'd be legitimate since i really do have quite a nasty cough! haha

and eunice ends here :
