On Those Disappointing Days

mikeandsus

Yesterday was rough. I was very angry several times for different reasons. I could not find what I needed. Some tasks I had planned to do were not working out. By the evening, I felt like the day was wasted. Today, like most mornings, I started my day journaling and studying the Bible and praying.
