it's been raining all day on this peaceful sunday here in athens. unfortunately i had a lot of work left to do before the week starts. with the series of events that took place this weekend, all i really wanted to do was lay in my bed, watch a movie and drink some hot chocolate.

today i found a lot of comfort in the following verse: "create in me a pure heart God and make my spirit right again." -Psalm 51:10

i guess this is easier asked than done sometimes. but i know God doesn't give up on me, he hears my heart and he's ready to conquer it. i woke up to the rain and i said to myself "today is a new day." and i got up and took a positive look at what i had in front of me. that's all. sometimes i'm thankful for days like today.
