Sometimes when you don't feel peppy and energetic, the best thing to do is to be peppy and energetic. Of course, it's good to be honest but there's a time and a place to let all your feelings out. When you pass someone in the hallway and they say "how's it going?" it's not really the time to pour out your troubles on them.
Yesterday I read something upsetting but kept it to myself and it kind of effected me all day. This morning I wrote an email to my parents (isn't technology wonderful?) and it was great to get it off my chest. Plus, they are adults and they handle things better than I do. Aren't parents wonderful?
What I'm saying about the energy and pep is sometimes you gotta fake it till you make it and tell yourself that's how it's going to be.
Happy Wednesday!

Preach on, sistah! We get to choose how we feel. Thanks for trusting Daddy and I to hold some of the icky stuff for you for a while. Families are cool that way :)
I definitely understand the "sometimes when you don't feel peppy and energetic, the best thing to do is to be peppy and energetic." Last week as a counselor at Illini Girls State, I had a lot of those moments. The week was about serving your country and serving God, so it was nice to have that reminder of hey, you don't need to do it alone, send up a prayer. Sometimes I think I get so caught up in doing it on my own and doing it right that I forget to ask for help and pray for support. I'm so proud of the work you're doing this summer, and even though it has its ups and downs, I know you're exactly where God wants you to be. Your blog always has a way of reminding me Who we're really serving. Thanks and have fun!! :)
