I had a tough day today. It included but was not limited to: a fight, a book ripping, cheating, a Mom calling, and after school I got stuck in a parking deck and had to walk to the bank in the dark. When I got home today there was a piece of mail waiting for me. Someone had written me an encouraging note which made me cry because it was so needed. Sometimes I crave encouragement. Whenever I feel lacking, I try to write other people and encourage them. I feel like dwelling on my own inadequacies is not a good way to spend my time. Today, however, I got some encouragement and I am so grateful. God is so good.
