Torn

Highlight(s)of the day: Laughing REALLY hard with Jacynta during school of Justice & having my nephew hug me through the phone - I miss his little hugs =(

Right now I'm torn. Torn about what I should do. You see, I'm not currently feeling 100%. I have had a sore throat for many weeks and it just won't go away(pray for healing, please!). Today I went to the clinic(praise the Lord for free clinics!), and the Doctor took a swab for strep, told me to suck on zinc losanges(but not too many cause too much zinc can make you sick), and get as much rest as possible. This is where I am torn.
Generally Tuesday's aren't too crazy busy for me. Its a bit of a longer day in that I have classes and street combat in the evening. Though usually I am home and in my bed by about 10:45pm. Tonight however, I have street combat and a bonus blessing. For those of you wondering, a BB is something that we get here when we are being disciplined(so when we've done something wrong). We do not get them individually, we get them as squads(which means we do them together). What is required of us is to fill a 2-5am shift in our 24/7 prayer room.
To be honest with you all, I despise these shifts. Who really wants to wake up at 2am, go out in the cold, come back just after 5 and attemp to get a couple more hours of sleep?! NOT me!!! Generally I am a person who believes that BB's can work for good. They can train and teach us if we let them.
Haven't gotten to the way I'm torn, have I? Sorry 'bout that! I'm a little long winded some times(please, no comments from the peanut gallery on that one!). Here it is...Do I go to both things and miss out of A LOT of rest - Knowing that I may feel like garbage tomorrow? Do I go to Street Combat, skip out on the bonus blessing and get somewhat of a full nights sleep? Or do I skip Street Combat, sleep for a few hours, go to the BB and try to rest more? Can you see how I'm torn?
Now, I am not looking for pity, and I am not saying all this in a whiney tone. It just really seems to me that I need some extra rest to get rid of this stupid virus in my throat. I honestly do not know what would be the best decision to make. Grrr...
I despise decisions like this.

Good night, Be Blessed. I'll let you know what I decided tomorrow.

Blessings.

Hi Denise: I usually don't comment alot on blogs but on this one I will. You've had this virus for awhile now. Actually over two weeks ago you were saying how sore your throat was. Sometimes we have to take rest when we need it, your body is telling you to do this. When you don't get the rest that you need, then your immune systems become even lower. If you are sick, take time off....even if it is for discipline, do another shift another time. I'm sure Steve and Danielle would agree. Take this to prayer, see what God has to say. I don't believe He expects His child to not rest. Go and rest, be still and know that He is God.

Love you lots,

Lisa (Capt. in case you're wondering...missed you on Sun. but know you were doing cool things.)
