It’s OK, to not be OK!

Let’s normalize not having a good day.

In fact, let’s normalize not having a good week. I feel like most of the time when somebody asks you “How was your day?” or “How are you?” you say “oh it’s OK or I’m fine”. But We are not OK and We are not fine! It is OK to not be fine and It is OK to not be OK (words from a wise Friend).

For example a few weeks ago I was not doing good. In fact, I feel like this past year has been rough for me, but this week in particular was stressful. Monday started off good and then going into it, it started to not be so good. With out going’s into details, it continued on into the week. Then that Wednesday after not having another good morning, I took a nap.

Sometimes naps are needed. This is something I don’t usually do, but it was a much needed refresher. Refreshing my day, refreshing my mind, refreshing my spirit. Isn’t that how God is? God is refreshing. He renews my mind every morning. In those moments where I feel tired worn down completely done with life. I know that I can turn to God, pray to him, “please Lord, take this from me” and he will as long as I allow him to.

What a beautiful way we can delight in him to turn the page to a new us. Thank you, Lord for refreshing my mind. Thank you Lord for naps.
