Word of the day

Yesterday was one of those days that you just want to run out of your job screaming "Never again!" while ripping your badge off and throwing it in an inferno of destruction. Anyone feel me on that? No one? It's okay, I am secure enough in my insanity to admit those feelings.
Anyway, this morning I am trying my best to have a major attitude adjustment; after all, it's not my 1st period's fault that a kid went off on my in 7th yesterday. I opened my Bible for a little Christian Roulette....what's it going to be today? With no real plan in mind, I opened up to Psalms. In the corner of the page, I had underlined Psalm 27:13-14. A few years ago, I was going through one of the most difficult times in my life. A guy who I barely knew referenced Psalm 27, saying that it had been his battlecry during his difficult moments. Honestly, even though I had highlighted and underlined it, I never really paid attention to the truth in this passage, but you better believe I am claiming it now:
"I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord, be strong and let your heart take courage; Yes, wait for the Lord."
I know that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I know that God is with me, and that He has purpose and a plan for all of this mess. I am waiting, and will continue to do so, trusting that God is with me, that He loves me, and that He will not leave me. Ever.
