yesterday

Yesterday I had one of those days. From the moment I woke up and discovered I had less than ten minutes to get ready before class because I had overslept... to the discovery that I couldn't do physical therapy on campus but had to go elsewhere (I might add that I confess I was not an example of Christ's love to the nurse when I found this out, but that's another story in and of itself)... to not being prepared in discussion... to showing up to work late... to feeling way behind in all my schoolwork (and it's only week two!)... to being behind in work alllllll night because the order came in, dishes were stacked, and customers kept walking in that door! (not to mention the bazillion frappuccinos we had to make)... to coming home half an hour later than I would have liked to.... what a day. I asked a friend to pray for me, because I was gasping for a sense of joy and peace in the midst of the stressful day. She did. She's a good friend. I went home and vented to my roomie who very graciously served me with her ears, her heart, and a calm, loving voice who told me not to be stressed, and offered to stretch with me while we read our books for class. We ate the best cornbread ever with butter and honey and drank passion peach tea. A beautiful ending to my day. Thank God for joy and peace and friends who pray for us.
