worst weekend of my life

well, usually my weekends start on Thursdays since that is my last day of work for the week...sort of. i work t/w/th/s so...it is a kinda. anyways, i pull up to work on thursday after being asked to come in early....to chat with my boss. see, my boss is my discipleship leader...so i really thought nothing of it. well, she tells me to clock in (1st warning sign since i'm 30 minutes early) and then it begins. she starts to tell me that because enrollment is so low for next year, she is having to let people go. she is only having one aide...and there are not enough students for an afternoon class. therefore, leaving me without a job after this coming Thursday. complete bummer.

so that happens...and it didn't really hit me until around lunch. and it hit me hard. all the wondering of what i would do for all the bills, helping out the family, and all those things that you usually think about after losing a job. granted, i still have another part time job, that maybe gives me ten hours a week...so going from 31 to 10...is quite a loss.

then i got called to go into work on Friday for a teacher. that was fine, but on the way home...little did i know something was wreaking havoc on my body. my throat became sore on one side. i thought nothing of it...until i woke up saturday morning with a sore throat that felt like someone was stabbing me in the esophagus everytime i swallowed. absolutely horrible. so, i got some antibiotics and am still taking them, but man, they don't work fast enough. my throat feels loads better, however my nose is so stuffy. just can't win.

and, on top of all this, i leave for asia in 5 days. that adds another stress since they are checking temperatures on the plane because of the whole swine flu. but, GOD IS IN CONTROL....even though i can't figure out why this is happening. He is in control, and i have to trust that.
