a scare...but venezia is here

hello...
well, last night was a bit scary for me..i woke up about 230 in the morning realizing that i could not move my neck..i felt pain if i tried to move it one way or the other...i eventually moved my body over, but definitely could not move my neck..all of a sudden, my body started shaking all over, uncontrollably..it was not a good sign.i have never felt this out of control of my body and it scared me..i was thinking all these thoughts of ..oh no, we might not make it to venice...i could have something seriously wrong with me...should i wake up jodi..i waited for 20 min or so to see if i would stop shaking and it didnàt happen, so i called jodiàs name for about 5 or 6 times and she woke up and i told her what had happened and what had been going on for the past half an hour.she was asking me my symptoms, what time i was feeling allt his, etc, and asked what she could do.i just asked her to pray for me...she did, and after about 30 sec into it, my shaking stopped all of a sudden and if felt a release that i was back to normal..and i began to cry.it was definitely a crazy experience, but i felt like god was right there and was listening.however, after a few minutes i began to shake again and jodi continued to pray.after she was done, we both laid back down and i laid on a different side and felt a bit more relaxed, i finally stopped shaking a few min after i had laid down...i have no idea what the heck happened, i donàt know if itàs because i hadnt drinkin a lot of water yeterday, or reactions that my muscles were having to carrying a backpack for so long..it could have been a pinched nerve.but i woke up this morning with a stiff neck...difficult to turn either way or up and down, but as the day went on today, slowly startng to improve and no more shaking.ANYWAYS, jodi and i got on the train to venice this morning at 745 to 4pm...TOO LONG, but it was worth it because we arrived in venezia to beautiful sights that iàve seen only in magazines and the italian job...gondolas and all kinds of boats surrounding old buildings and islands all over...our hostil is by the beach and down the street from gilatto stands, restaurants, and cute shops.we ate at an italian cafe outside, however, our waitor was grumpy and ended up that him and the other waitress in his section were arguing the whole time, even in front of the other tables...anyways, we also had the time to get some gilato..umm..yummy..well, iàm excited for wht tomorrow brings...thanks for your prayers!

God is great, isn't he? Remember before you left, I said your trip would help grow your inner strength and faith...and mine? Well, it IS...I have complete faith that God is watching over you and Jodi...and from your blog, I can clearly see that He is!

Wow, Sar, that is freaky! I think you're hypotheses seem right though, not enough water and a lot of holding backpacks! Man, hope you stay well. Today I was really missing you and our weekly chats...my life doesn't feel complete without someone on whom I can weekly unload the mundane happenings of everyday life!! Love you!

Make sure you drink lots of water and maybe stretch at night after walking! I am sure you are having a great time and it is preparing for me to leave tooo!!!! Love you so much....... So good to know that God is always there in every little situation! Keep on keeping on:)
