Today, I had a breakdown. I don't really think I'm stressed, but my body says otherwise. I got frustrated during today's praise team practice when I couldn't sing well. My body couldn't exert its best after 8 hours of working. I'm still adjusting to the whole work and study schedule. I thought I was handling it well, but today my spirits crumbled under exhaustion. I left the practice scene and went to the restroom to gather my composure. I kept telling myself that the enemy is just trying to bring me down. I was trying so hard to be okay. But as I left the restroom, a lady that I'm pretty close to walked by and asked if I was tired, I said yes and cried into her arms. I couldn't tell her what was wrong at first cause I broke down. The first thing that came out was that I was tired, physically and emotionally. And she knew my situation so she understood me fully. I told her it was also hard having my dad away again in Honduras on top of it all. She took me outside to get some fresh air and to talk. She encouraged me and kept reminding me that I'm only human. I can't expect myself to do everything, and to do everything perfectly. Only God can do that. After our talk, I took a breather. I was feeling so physically weak. I decided to eat before I collapse or something. I praise God that He does sustain me throughout the day. I'm also glad I got to hear from my dad earlier. And so I'm gonna get some sleep and hopefully feel refreshed again for tomorrow, thankfully His mercies are new every morning.
They say the devil won't bother you if you're up to no good, but he'll try to mess you up when you're doing God's will.
