Unit 6 Turnaround ...

So far, in my experience since becoming a KU student, extreme troubles and trials come during this unit.

Semester 1 involved a family emergency trip.
Semester 2's unit 6 started right after the earthquake and tsunami in Samoa and American Samoa, and my time and efforts went towards reassuring family and friends of my parents' safety, and relief projects.
Semester 3 was better handled, thankfully, but trials were present nonetheless.

This time, it was my health. Given, over the years, February is the month I get sick with some kind of bug - not the flu - and have to stay in bed for a few days. This had not happened for several years, so I was unprepared for it.

But this time, my baby sister in law school spoiled me - bringing me water; asking what I wanted to eat and making it, within reason of cravings; doing her law school homework within hearing range in case I needed something; driving me to my errands that could not be put off; staying home with me over the weekend; rearranging things to ensure my comfort....

She took such good care of me. Whatever other Unit 6 disasters await, and despite all the work I now need to catch up with, my renewed health and ability to continue life is attributed to my Heavenly Father, my family's prayers, and this time, especially my baby sister.

  1. Jerilyn,

    I am so thankful you feel better, and pray your next term will not be quite so full.
