You ever just have those weeks when you feel like nothing can go right? Well that’s me. I’ve debated dropping out of school and moving back home maybe 20 times this week. The stress mixed with the worst luck has created the worst week and I just feel defeated. But then something great happened. Somebody told me “It’s a bad day, not a bad life.” That hit me hard.

We get so caught up in how bad our lives are going that one day and we forget about all the good that we’ve been through. Just because it's a bad day doesn't mean that it’s a bad life. Bad days don’t mean that you have to wallow in self pity or be mad at the world. It just means that today isn’t your day. So how are you going to handle it? Are you going to let it make you or break you?

Ecclesiastes 7:14

“On a good day enjoy yourself; on a bad day examine your conscience. God arranges for both kinds of days so that we won't take anything for granted.”

God doesn’t give you anything that you can’t handle. Yes it might knock you on your butt and yes, you might cry for a good 30 minutes. But at the end of the day you’ve got this. Just take it one step at a time and keep going. Bad days are meant to change us. Our perspective on life is meant to change. Don’t fight it just breathe. It’s a bad day not a bad life.

What I learned at the end of my bad week was that I definitely don’t want to drop out of school (LOL)! But that I am grateful for this life I live. I have so many people around me that love me and care about me. Sometimes we all take that for granted but when a bad day hits those people are the first ones you call. Why?

Because their love is unconditional. They don’t care if it's just a bad hour out of your day they want to be there for you. So stop taking those people for granted. Hug them tight, tell them you love them and hope they stick around because at the end of your bad week they're the ones that you're going to want to spend your weekend with.
