you know? you never really know how bad things get till you talk to people. if you think your life is bad, talk to more people and you'll realise what a stroll in the park YOUR struggle is. i have talked to enough people to know that the Lord has outpoured an extensive amount of grace and mercy in my life.

today was a very good day.

Romans 8
28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. 29 For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren.

for a long time, ive wondered what 'good' means. and today i found the answer. what is 'good' -- includes becoming conformed to the image of Christ. so the little struggles you experience on this earth, if it makes you more like Him, it is good. (:
