Ever have one of those days where nothing really goes wrong, but it all feels wrong anyway?

And it kind of feels like nothing will ever be any better?

Yeah, that's the kind of day I've had.

Everything seems to be just hunky-dory for everyone else, and I'm glad...I just need to rediscover my own personal happy.

No one seems to be pointing it out to me. Must be a DIY thing.

One thing that does always make me feel better is music...either my custom stations on Pandora (how I adore that site!) or K-LOVE. In fact, it's pretty rare that I listen to K-LOVE and don't hear something that speaks to exactly what I'm feeling at the moment.

I heard two such songs this evening on my way to and from Zumba:

"When every step is so hard to take

And all of my hope is fading away

When life is a mountain that I can not climb

You carry me...Jesus, carry me.

You are the strength in my weakness

You are the refuge I seek

You are everything in my time of need

You are everything I need."

(Listen on YouTube: Everything I Need by Kutless)

And:

"I know I'm not strong enough to be

Everything that I'm supposed to be

I give up

I'm not strong enough

Hands of mercy, won't you cover me

Lord right now I'm asking you to be

Strong enough

For the both of us.

'Cause I'm broken

Down to nothing

But I'm still holding on to the one thing

You are God

And You are strong

When I am weak...

I can do all things

Through Christ who gives me strength

And I don't have to be

Strong enough."
