today was not the best day. no, I'd say it was kind of a bad day. nothing earth-shattering, really, just one of those days where everything seems to go wrong. you know, one of those days where everything you try fails, you feel like you've let people down, and you just want to go to bed and wake up on a different day.
today was one of those days.
and to top it off, it was super rainy. as they'd say down here, "it's a coming a flood out there!"
and it really was. we had a flood warning.
after yet another frustration and losing hope for that situation, I went to class. my professor started by asking a fellow student to open our class with a prayer. I closed my eyes and heard her lift these words up to our Father...
Lord, we thank you for today. even though it is a rainy, gloomy day, we are so thankful that you gave us another day.
she might have said a few things after that, but that's all I heard. pretty sure God just reached down and slapped me. sometimes I need a good slap.
maybe this girl had had a rotten day so far, too, but you would never know it. she was choosing to thank Him under any circumstances - storm or calm, rain or shine.
which made me wonder....do I?
