A Peanut Butter Day

So I’m sure you are thinking, “A what day?” But let me explain.

You know, today just wasn’t much fun… I got a terrible night’s sleep, I have a little bit of this sickness that’s been going on around our house (it’s actually the neighbor’s sickness, but Kate caught it from them) and I just have not felt good.

Of course no matter how I feel, school must go on. But it really hasn’t. I have a bunch of reading that I had to do (which I LOVE) but with the nasty headache I’ve toted around today (plus my eyes tend to hurt when my head does) that has been a very slow and laborious process. Fun, right? Plus I have a lot of Math which I am now slightly behind on. (That’s the tip of the iceberg) and it all adds up really quickly.

So yeah, today has been stressful, frustrating, and painful. So I resorted to peanut butter.

Now in order to understand the significance of that, you must understand that I really don’t like peanut butter. I hate the way it smells, I hate the way it sticks to the roof of your mouth… I don’t really like the taste. Overall, it’s just gross! (Although I do loves Reese’s peanut butter cups… hehe.) So RARELY do I ever have it.

But of course today, I did… A whole huge spoonful! Today was a peanut butter day. In other words, my day was (like peanut butter) really bad, so bad in fact that I was tired enough for peanut butter to sound good.

I am very grateful though, that despite my day, God was with me the whole time, He didn’t just leave me admist my stress. =) You know that verse, “And surely I am with you always even to the end of the age.” (Matthew 28:20) I was thinking about that today, and it really did bring comfort to my heart. And somehow, through the mess of the day, I started thinking of it this way, “And surely I am with you always, even on your peanut butter days.” (I know I’m weird).

So, if you are having a bad day… Just remember, there is someone who loves you immensely and who will always be with you, no matter what. =)

P.S.
For those of you who are with me on not liking peanut butter… Don’t worry, I brushed my teeth right after. I think peanut butter breath is just about as bad as the real stuff!
