poison ivy

Posted in Church

What a crazy weekend! I got into poison ivy - twice! And I'm allergic to it. I have it on my face, my left arm and a little on my legs and back. ouch. or I should say: itch!

I didn't go to church today. I didn't go because of my poison ivy, but also because I'm just very confused. I keep making an idiot of myself around Pastor D and feel so very embarrassed. I tend to do that around authority figures. Either way, my dh will continue to bring the kids out even if I just take a break for a month or 2, or longer?

Rabbit went to a mission last week. She almost didn't because she was so scared. But I'm so very proud of her! She did great - it was ministering to preschoolers. Pastor D and G were there and they brought her home. (ftr, those 2 aren't married, but work together at our church) They were glowing with pride about how Rabbit did at the preschool! I've heard little things here and there since about how it went. Most likely, her friends at GG4G know more than I do. The most important thing is, she had a great time and her leaders said she was really, really good. I hugged Pastor D and G twice before they left and it was a hot day! I really do admire these 2 and appreciate all they've done for us and our family.

But still, my doubts, I'm still unsure of myself and need some time. I also need some time to learn more about the Methodist denomination. There are some things that I don't understand and need to ask questions.

My face is so itchy today - of all places to have poison ivy! It's red, too, even with the special soap (Burt's Bees poison ivy soap) that I have dried on my face, it's still red.

You poor thing! My son had a bad case of poison ivy earlier this summer and it was a pain to deal with.
I'm glad that rabbit is doing so well at church. It sounds like she is really having a great time.
My dad is a little better now, thanks for asking. He got out of the hospital yesterday afternoon, but is still unable to get around much or breathe well on his own. : (
Being calm would really have helped us on Wednesday. I did calm down after a few minutes, which made things better.

Hello
Nice to meet you. Sorry to hear about the itchies. I don't know if this will help you- I'm not allergic to poison ivy ( so I have ONE thing I'm not allergic to!) but for other itches, rubbing alchohol takes the itch away really fast. Tea tree oil relieves mine too. hope you feel better!
Once I did something dumb in front of my pastor, and every time I thought of him after that I felt terrible... but I had to learn to let it go- everybody makes mistakes, and the one I made wasn't that big of a deal, the Enemy just kept bringing it up. I needed to "take captive every thought" and quit letting them ruin my life!

So sorry to hear you tangled with that plant. It seems to sneak up on us. I hope you are getting more comfortable and the itchy stuff is clearing. Will pray for you.
