and the clock struck

and my midterm was submitted without me completing the timed test. 

and my back was killing me.

and i snapped at geoffrey.

.... today was not my day.

BUT THEN I REMEMBERED THAT even this day IS THE DAY THAT THE LORD HAS MADE and I prayed and apologized for acting like I did... and told the Lord I was sorry.... and calmed down

AND THEN the clock struck again....

and my teacher restarted the grading clock so I could restart my midterm.

and my pain subsided

and geoffrey said the sweetest things to remind me that all will be okay...

and then Laura called to tell me she was thinking of me

.... then today turned around.

Lately, I have been lying to myself and not being honest about what has been bothering me. 

Today I was honest to myself and to Jesus and he helped me in my time of need. Boy, did I need it today! He knew and he understood and HE ALONE IS HELPING CARRY ME THROUGH!!!

I would like to thank Geoffrey and Laura and Dave Barnes for being used by Jesus to help me smile again.
