It's A Glorious Day Today...

Today was just that type of day that I knew was going to be horrible. It started at 1 in the morning when I realized that I had a exam the next morning in my hardest class. After studying, I finally ended up snuggling under the covers for a few short 4 hours of shut-eye. 

I was getting worn out. 

I just wanted to leave everything behind and forget about all the troubles of the world.

But life just doesn't stop like that.

I finished my exam, but only because I had to. I finished quickly because I didn't care about the resulting grade, I just wanted to be done. 

I went to class because I had to and I spent every minute of it counting down until I could leave. 

I just wanted this day to be done.

But we can't just float through life apparently. We have to live it.  

And so while I was sitting with some middle school girls, God gave me a glorious day, to help me remember that even if it's a rough day, it's still a day and it still deserves to be lived. 

And so little moments made my day spectacular:

• Bonding with some of the girls at the after-school program, Sparkle, that I help out in by singing the Jonas brothers
• Finding a four-leaf clover when I wasn't even looking for one
• "Family Time" with Tharp Hall

Yes, family time with the most beautiful girls ever. The girls that I share my life with and almost every waking moment together. Tonight we simply got to tell each other how much we appreciate one another. We all love each other very much but after living together, one starts to forget that we need each other and that we all need encouragement. The lesson I got out of this and some other similar moments that happened are meant for another day but the love that filled the room was undeniable. It felt like a never-ending chick-flick with the happy ending happening over and over again. Or that I had eaten Joy Pop Rocks and they were exploding in my heart. 

It was a good day, I'm glad that I decided to live today.
