He came through

I just got my hair braided by four little girls. I took pictures of it, but I look so silly I don't want to post them..lol.
The girls thought it was hysterical. I normally don't let the little kids play with my hair because they always pull on it, but I gave in today. They love fixing it and brushing it. I guess because it feels different then their hair.
My health has been so much better the last two days. My attitude has improved greatly too. Thank you Jesus for getting me out of that rut!
Last week was honestly one of the hardest weeks of my life. I was sick and tired and I felt like I had no one to turn to. Everything around me is different. I felt like I was living on another planet. But then I realized Jesus was not different. No matter where I go or what changes He always stays the same. He's the same now as he was at the very beginning of creation. Last week, that thought gave me so much comfort.
I feel like I'm closer to Him now. When I had no one else to lean on. When I had no one else to cry to I went to God. I asked for courage and comfort and protection, but mostly I just sat quietly and told him I loved him. I told him I needed him. I told him I trusted him. After that I was comforted. He pulled me up out of the sour mood I was in and now I have twice as much strength to keep going. I have twice as much passion for my work. I have twice as much patience with my children. I'm finally at the place now that I have energy after school to tutor extra children. I'm starting to develop a routine  now, and it feels like every things running a lot smoother.
There is no way I could be doing any of this if it wasn't for the strength God has given to me. All the glory goes to Him. Last week if I wouldn't have ended up on my knees I would have ended up on a plane home. I didn't give up though. I looked towards God for help, and just like always He came through.
