Well, praise God you are safe and sound, and now I ask you Lord to anoint Heather's body to heal. Bring back the physical strength that has been drained from her and help her to find peace and nourishment in your word, and in your presence.

Are you emotionally well from whatever the imminent danger was? Sometimes when we go through hard stuff it just physically drains all our reserve strength to the point that we are physically exhausted, and sometimes likewise we are emotionally drained and exhausted. We have to remember that it is normal and healthy to rest and recooperate. Some of us (I have been guilty of this in the past) push our bodies to the point of exhaustion and then when we become ill we wonder why. We have to learn to allot down time for ourselves. Rest and Relaxation are not sins. They are only evil if they are done in excess and we become lazy. But for those who push themselves beyond the limit they are necessary and we must learn to use self disipline and force ourselves to have time for R and R.
If you feel it would be helpful to tell your story, go ahead. If not that is alright too. Just know that the Lord loves you and wants to minister to you in the very depths of your being, sometimes he has to allow us to become ill in order to get our attention.

Oh, thank you for your prayer for me! It is so nice to be responded to with understanding!

I have been doing a great job of resting and not pushing myself, but circumstances have demanded mega-much from me for the past 6 +++ years!

I am, as I said, finally very free and now I am crashing!

The next step for me is to find fellowship with some like-minded/spirited folks and that is why I am here and I am SO excited! Your post and prayer are JUST what the Dr. orders!

I'm in chat now... 6:50 PST

Sorry I missed you on chat, I was away from the computor. I am glad you are moving past your trial. I know that I have been personally ministered to by much of the teaching I have recieved through Christian Leadership University, and I know there are some really great people that you will meet and connect with through this web site. We are blessed to live in a time when we can meet people from around the world without traveling great distances. I would advise you to also reach out to local people, face to face and arm in arm fellowship are still of great importance. This may have to wait until you recover, but in the meanwhile if you haven't already got a church home you can do some research over the internet as to what is available in your area.
I am looking forward to hearing more from you as the days go by.
Jeana
