Bad Hair Days

on my birthday my mom gave me a book called "Delight yourself in the Lord.. Even On Bad Hair Days" and it's hit so close to home with almost everything that's happened thus far.
She marked a page that said "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" to which it had
Prov 3: 5 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding"
and read "as Christians, we want to live our lives close to the people and things we can trust. But no matter how wonderful that sounds. all things will let us down-even family"

Perhaps I have been so blind sided by my own worries I have unknowingly let those that care down. even myself.

Another page I read today questioned "Here I was trying to do the right thing. Do you know how alone I felt, Lord?"
and went on to say "How could I ask such a question? If anyone knew what it felt like to be alone, Jesus did. He went to the cross for me, for you.. alone."
The author then talks about whatever she faces He goes before her and understands.

Perhaps I haven't given enough faith where faith was due...
