One of THOSE days....

"Oh my soul, faint not... Where there is hatred, let me sow love."- Jenny and Tyler

I'm sitting in Barnes and Noble Starbucks Cafe. I have two exams down, one more class, than one more exam to go. I'm listening to Jenny and Tyler, accomplishing all those little things that I need to do, and I especially need to do when I don't feel like studying. The sun is so sparkly and bright today. The air is crisp. I just can't stop smiling. It's just one of those splenderiferous day.
I think today is so fabulous because it could have been horrible. I mean, three exams is not usually the recipe that makes me all chipper. But apparently, today, exams cannot bring me down. I want to get up and sing and dance around this cafe, but I don't think anyone else would appreciate it.
I know it sounds like I'm leading up to some big revelation of why I'm so happy, but.. I'm not. I guess the only reason is that I'm alive, and just happy to be here. I'm just happy to be meeting new people, to be breathing in this day, to be stepping closer to being a nurse. I'm just happy.
I'm pretty sure the barrista's name is Lilly. I think she was in my drivers ed class. I love delaware, you just keep bumping into the same people over and over again. I wonder what has happened in her life in the four years since I've seen her. She still looks nice, but that doesn't really tell me much does it? I wonder if she graduated, if she's a student here. I wonder is she has a plan for college. I wonder if she's has a grandparent die? I wonder if she's satisfied? I wonder if she knows Jesus?
Maybe I'll get back to my studies, and leave this pondering alone......... maybe.

Oh, its been one of those days
When You walk with me
So close I think
I caught the scent of angels wings
And my, oh my unsuspecting heart
Leaps from its place
Begins to race
I finally found the place I never want to leave, oh...
Why cant every day, why cant every day
Why cant every day, cant every day
Be like today
Oh, why do the good days end
Makes me wonder now
With the way I feel
If yesterday was even real
And why, oh why do You seem so far away
Could it be that Ive gone too far this time
And can I make You change Your mind, oh...
Why should any day, why should any day
Why should any day, should any day
Be like today
Do I wallow in my insecurities?
Do I trust what my feelings are tellin me?
Or do I rest in the promise You made me
That Youll never leave?
Oh, today my heart believes
That the truth remains
You never change
Your love for me is still the same, oh...
Why cant every day, why cant every day
Why cant every day, cant every day
Be like today
