messy

dealt with whopping auto issues and subsequent phone unfriendliness on friday

and had my nose ground into one big, fat bill, to boot.

all to fix some one's mistake.

i am sort of beyond throwing a simple pouting fit.

this winter has felt like one sucker punch after another

and i am weary of being kicked while i'm down.

the majority of my life is filled with overwhelming joy and happiness

but when things like this come up,

i find my whole outlook completely poisoned.

thank goodness for supportive

family

boyfriend

friends

coworkers

to remind me of my reasons to keep my head up.

"do not be anxious about anything,

but in everything,

by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

and the peace of God, which transcends all understanding,

will guard your hearts and mind in Christ Jesus."

~ philippians 4:6-7

"humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand,

that he may lift you up in due time.

cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you."

~1 peter 5:6-7

"why are you downcast, o my soul?

why so disturbed within me?

put your hope in God,

for i will praise him, my Savior and my God."

~ psalm 42:5

"trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;

in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.

do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord

and shun evil.

this will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones."

~proverbs 3:5-8
