There are days that just get away from you

Today was one of those days-
The kind where you just cant be on time or keep a smile on your face.
Lost my cta upass this morning somewhere on the streets of chicago, so of course, no luck finding it. And also failed my first philosophy paper.
And I thought today would be lovely since I took yesterday off to be still, quiet, and wait upon the Lord.
That was lovely. God has been really speaking to my heart and Ive been listening.

Stress cannot hold me down, I am in this world but not of the world. Continuously being refined and built up by my Father in heaven, community, friends, church body, and prayer.
Our hearts are worked on in the times of struggle-
As I walked down Lake Street today I just stopped on the bridge over the river and train tracks and just started to cry. Does that ever happen to you? Doesn't matter where you are or who is around your heart is just throbbing and you need to let it out.
Gathered myself together and let go what had happened this morning to get on with my day. I would not let those downfalls hold me back from the love and passion that has been so purposefully put in my heart.

Be optimistic, strive to love unconditionally, set yourself in faith, hope for the best, live of the gospel, and be a light to this world that so desperately needs one.
Much love.
