Lesson of the day: God didn't promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow, or sun without rain. But he did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears and light for the way.
Oh my goodness... so yesterday was just incredible. it's amazing how things really do happen for a reason. it's like that exact moment was placed in your life at that exact time that you really needed it. it's funny how things happen like that. gah. so cool.
yesterday i went on a random road trip to u of i for mass at the newman center out there. it was wonderful. :) then we went to sonic, custard cup, and to spend some time with some cool FOCUS missionaries and u of i students. to top it off there was a wonderful car ride home with great friends, good music, amazing conversations...and a bonfire! it's nice to escape from reality every now and then and just get refreshed.
the perfect end to an...interesting...weekend. i think it's funny how sometimes we keep so much bottled up inside of us, when really it is so much better to talk about what is bothering us or going on in our heads.
those thoughts are put there for a reason and not meant to be kept inside. who cares if we sound crazy?! :) not meeeee!
another thing i learned. i think we have bad days for a reason. to show us that we have good people who care about us who are going to get us through the rough times. because if everything were always smooth and perfect, how would we truly learn to appreciate when things go right? -- we wouldn't. we would take everything for granted.
so i am still waiting to hear back from the summer job i applied for. at least i know i have some volunteer things lined up. but i REALLY need a job. eeks.
well, i'm going to finish up some homework then go to sleep! Sweet Dreams :]
Summer Countdown: 10 days!!!
