One of Those Days...

Today, I am having "one of those days." You know, the kind of day, that makes you wonder is it all worth it. My Mother taught me to work hard and have a good work ethic, and I would be rewarded, prosper and do well. Events that have taken place at my "day job" this past month has caused me to wonder, is that really true?

I decided to do, what I do, when I am having "one of those days,"

... I cried to the Lord for help.

Just like that, I got my answer! The words of one of my favorite hymns came to me crystal clear, this gave me a second wind, a glimmer of hope.
I would like to share the words of this song with you, just in case you need a lift today...
THE LORD WILL MAKE A WAY

Like a ship that's tossed and driven, battered by an angry sea;
When the storms of life are raging, and their fury falls on me,
I wonder what I have done, that makes this race so hard to run;
Then I say to my soul, take courage, the Lord will make a way somehow.

The Lord will make a way somehow, when beneath the cross I bow,
He will take away each sorrow, Let Him have your burdens now;
When the loads bears down so heavy the weight is shown upon my brow,
There's a sweet relief in knowing the Lord will make a way somehow.

Try to do the best in service, try to do the best you can;
When I choose to do the right thing evil's present on every hand;
I look up and wonder why that good fortune passed me by;
Then I say to my soul, be patient, the Lord will make a way somehow.

Often there's misunderstanding, out of all the good I do;
Go to friends for consolation, and I find them complaining, too;
So many nights I toss in pain, wondering what the day will bring;
Then I say to my heart, don't worry, the Lord will make a way somehow.
