so...my week...to say the least has definitely not been what i would have liked it to been.
yesterday, i trudged up to english not really wanting to be there. i sat next to the girl i sit next to usually and we began talking. i started by complaining about my week and how awful it's been and how i just couldn't muster up anything positive. she gave her condolences and i asked her how she was doing. she then went into detail on how her father was just admitted into the hospital and 2 weeks ago was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. she was surprisingly optimistic and knew that she was going to spend her last few moths not being sad for her dad but enjoying him there.
my day seemed like a trip to disney world after that moment and i found myself crying in the middle of my class.
i guess what i'm trying to say is, be optimistic and remember someone always has it worst.

wow!
i feel like i have been learning the same lesson lately! and then i was reading in Luke and read this: "Because of the tender mercy of our God, whereby the sunrise shall visit us from on high to give light to those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace." (ch. 1 vs. 78-79) AMAZING. thought i'd share this encouragement with you too!
