The world has not bee on my side today. My day has consisted of getting yelled at by a teacher for a solid 5 minutes, having my lunch get stolen, trying to understand physics before the final, and dealing with a ridiculous calculus test. Now, I know that all of these things are insignificant. The lord has blessed me with many incredible items, and overall I have a great life. I have a family that loves me no matter what, I have a house with heat, I have food, and I am in relatively good health. I have processed many thoughts on how to fix my bad day. The ideas have been getting a Starbucks and sitting in the Mukilteo cemetery trying to find peace, sticking my head in to a mole hole and waiting until it goes away, or just going to sleep immediately after school so I could sleep this day away, ““No day is so bad it can't be fixed with a nap.” Carrie P. Snow.
But, then I realized that this bad day was a blessing. It has made me slow down and set goals of how I could change the next day. I have been constantly praying this whole day, which has drawn me closer to God. “Some days are for living. Others are for getting through.”-Malcolm S. Forbes I have now realized that I can’t just sit around and let the bad day continue. I must change it myself, and I must persevere. I have made the conscious decision to take it head on. I need to stay positive and keep my head up with a smile plastered on it because the lord has given me this beautiful canvas and I need to paint it and leave my mark. So right now as I am typing this, trying to give you the confidence to take life head on, I am listening to Macklemore. I trying to clear my head and sit in silence before I make my next move. But, mark my words, my next move will be full of grace, love, and patience. Will yours?
