Sometimes Life Just Gets You Down

Maybe it's just all this winteryness, but everything seems to be bumming me out lately. Even getting my evasive W2 from my previous job so I can finally work on my taxes did little to lighten my mood. 2 people in Tommy's family are dying, the cars need fixing, my stolen check situation is SLOWLY getting resolved, very slowly, I'm just ready for the whole situation to be over with, funerals, people being sued, people losing support they'd counted on, not seeing people you love because you're always going and naturally in the opposite direction, haven't heard from my brother in a while so I'm missing him, you get the picture. Blargh. And then out of nowhere, well actually the internet...I was looking up a song that I've been wanting to sing in choir and I was reading through the lyrics and part of one of the verses really hit me (mostly because of family dying) "Be still, my soul: thy Jesus can repay from His own fullness all He takes away." No matter what's going on, people dying, checks being stolen, etc. Jesus has a plan and is more than capable of giving back what, if not more, than what was taken. Still kinda bumming about life in general, but it's comforting to be reminded that Jesus has my back and has a plan :) Another bright spot in my day? 24 packs of fun dip were on sale for $1.50 ;)
