A hard day

I faced a hard day today. I went to school at 7:15 just like every other day, but on this day the heat really got to me. I don't think it was any hotter then it has been. I just didn't have the patients for it today. I was very tired when I woke up this morning and then, on top of that, I skipped breakfast. Big mistake. The heat and lack of sleep made me so sick I had to retreat to my bedroom. I laid in front of my fan all afternoon and did not teach at all. At about 3:00 I got up and ate some boiled eggs. After that I started feeling a little better so I decided to tutor a couple of the kids in the house.
I feel like such a wimp right now. I watch the Haitian people work so hard in the heat with little to no food and it amazes me. I don't know how they do it! I've only been teaching for two weeks and I am more tired then I've ever been in my life. I hope one day I can be half as strong as the Haitian women I see everyday. They are such an inspiration to me.
I am praying that the Lord will give me the strength I need to continue. These children deserve the very best I have to give them.
I try to always remember this teaching......"The point of our lives in this world isn't comfort but training and preparation for eternity. Scripture tells us that even Jesus learned obedience through suffering and if that was true for him, why wouldn't it be even more true for us?"
