Hello!!

Have you ever had one of those horrible days when you just needed to know that someone cared cause everything seemed to be falling apart???

Well, I had one of those today. In the middle of my morning, I had something so upsetting happen. I was at work, I was in the room alone - except the person who was upsetting me- and I couldn't really talk to anyone cause everyone had classes. I was trying to chill, teach my students and keep from breaking down into a hysterical crying jag. When I get mad, I cry. I hate that about myself. And when it concerns my daughter, it is even worse. I was so upset by this incident and was just trying to hold it together, when two people that I rarely see popped into my room to say hi. I mean, they just stuck their heads in the door and said hello, but it was so needed and so encouraged me. I didn't tell them my sob story or get them to be on my side and fight for my cause. In fact, I was so intense in my teaching and trying to control my emotions that when the first person said hi, it scared me so bad I jumped!!!

I know God used these two people today unaware of it as they may be. A two second hello was all I needed to know that I was loved and things would be ok and I could carry on. How like God to surprise us with the unexpected, even if he scares us a little!!! So the next time you get the urge to stick your head in and say HI, please do so. It may be just the thing someone needs to encourage them to carry on.

Thanks friends, you made my day!
