So today was a really really hard day. Sometimes there's nothing you can do except bear it out, and strive to keep believing. When all is said and done, a lot of the things I long for at the moment are not the things that have the power to fulfill me - they're important, but not the most important. I have that here, right at my fingertips.
"The Lord is near to the brokenhearted, and saves those who are crushed in spirit." Psalm 34:18
"For momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison." ~ 2 Corinthians 4:17
It helps to tell myself the truth - to write it out so I can read it to myself. And I suppose I can be thankful for time to contemplate. After all, when things are really busy, there isn't much time for that and sometimes I end up feeling numb inside. Life is hard when it's slowly eking itself by; life is also hard when it's too much of a blur.
I like the phrase "after all" - the fullness of hindsight is packed into it. One day, I'll stand and look back. "After all," I'll nod and sigh, amazed. "After all."

:/ hang in there, k? you're brave for admitting you've had a bad day. seriously, you free other people to admit that when you admit that. i think that's the mark of a true child of God -- someone who can be honest about God's healing inside, and consequently frees others around you to feel God's healing power :)
thanks.
