So today hasn't been to great...

I woke up at 8:35am this morning. My 1hr class starts at 8am. I got to school at 9am. This class meets once a week so attendance is kind of important. I turned in my research paper and 20 questions and headed to the computer lab to do my resume. Even after restarting the computer, it wouldn't let me log in. I decided to head home to do what homework I could there. At this point I was feeling incredibly discouraged. This was not a good way to wake up and start my day, feeling hopeless and like a failure.
I climbed in my truck and turned the key in the ignition. The bars on the radio started moving and this song came on. Being the emotional sob that I am, as soon as the song got to the point where it said don't cry, I had tears streaming down my face. It is an encouraging song.

It's okay if you can't go
And changed what happened
it was just a bad day
And you know everybody has them
I get it when you say
You feel like everyone's passed you over
But it's not too late
Pick the weight up off your shoulders

I'm coming to take you away
To the place where pain won't find you
I'm coming to take you away
So leave the weight of the world behind you
And you know nothing's too far
Nothing's too hard
I'll always be there
I'm coming to take you away

Don't cry cause you know that you're not alone
Now, let me dry your eyes
Now it's time that you finally find out
There will always be a new day
At the end of every hard one
Now I'm on my way
So I can be the help you start one

I'm coming to take you away
To the place where pain won't find you
I'm coming to take you away
So leave the weight of the world behind you
And you know nothing's too far
Nothing's too hard
I'll always be there
I'm coming to take you away
To take you away

I'm coming to get you
So leave your bags at the hall
That held you down
You can't pack for the place we're going now
It doesn't matter what's going on
I'm the one to get you out

I'm going to take you
Where the sun lights up your face
Where you can't remember yesterday
'Till the hurt has been replaced
I'm coming to take you away

I'm coming to take you away
So leave the weight of the world behind you
And you know nothing's too far
Nothing's too hard
I'll always be there
I'm coming to take you away
Take you away


Unfortunately I'm not encouraged.

  1. I can sort of relate to how you're feeling right now. I had an all-day activity that I attended yesterday, and as soon as I came back, I'm swamped with work. I have a mile-long to-do list that i'm still adding to, and I have not one but TWO quizzes that I have to make up. today.
    I'm not even going to be able to eat lunch, because I have to go to a class of mine to make up work in leu of my lunch time.
    The best thing that we can do is pray, though, so as soon as I have only a moment, I'll pray for you and for me, and for others who are having a hard time, too. :)

    Hope that things get better for you!
    And I hope that I can find some way to encourage you and others, too. I'll think about it.

  2. :) I'm sorry you are swamped too. It is no fun. Oooo I have a quiz today too. Crap...
    Haha you have no idea how often that is true for me too.
    Friends: You need to eat more!
    Me: I don't have time! (or I'm just lazy)
    Friends: EAT WOMAN!!!
    lol
    Thank you for the prayer. I really appreciate it a lot.

    Likewise! (You are already being encouraging dear <3)
