Whew. What a day.

Today was rough.  As It has now been 2 weeks in the accounting program and I feel like i'm about ready to collapse from exhaustion.  The strain was wearing down on me heavily, and the straw that broke the camel's back hit today.  After a quiz where I didn't do very well I broke down.  Really really broke down.  I haven't cried like this in a long long time.  After a call to mum, I remembered who could be with me right now.  I knelt and prayed. 

I pray regularly, but this was a desperate cry.  No ritual, repetitive thing.  I had fallen and I needed a serious lift.  I wept and cried while choking out a plea with my heavenly father. 

Quickly I remembered words that had brought much needed comfort to me long ago.  "Be still and know that I am God.  There's no prayer that I don't hear.  Child can you feel my power in this dark hour? You are not alone."

It's a song somewhere, but to me it is a personal message from a loving father at a time much needed.  Now the tears were not only of frustration and sadness but of relief and hope and love. 

I am surrounded by those who care for and love me.  And I can always count on my Heavenly father and Savior to stand and lift me as a pass through my little trials. 

This too shall pass, as my mother and father said.  Dang I love them.

Will
