Restoration

My mood is just terrible. And I'm not sure why. I'm not missing my dad, I mean, I'm always missing him, but it's not why I'm in a bad mood. I haven't been able to take a joke for 2 days now. I feel terrible for the people around me who have to endure this.
.
I'm over at a friend's house right now. She is so sweet, making me laugh and such. She is just so so incredible. Her kids make me laugh so much and I love that.
.
I'm also going to TX a week from tomorrow to visit friends who I haven't seen in a year. I cannot wait. I've been counting down the days and waiting and saving. I couldn't be happier.
.
Except that I could be happier. I've just been getting back into a regular Bible study after an embarrassing 4+ year abstain from it. I have been so tired and drained lately. So tired and drained in fact that last night I didn't feel like getting my daily dose of wisdom from my Father. And the other fact of the matter was that I only got just a teaspoons worth of wisdom. I woke up and was late to work this morning...4 minutes, but still. It turned out okay though because I stayed late and made up for my missed minutes. :)
.
I'm coming out of it even as we speak. Thank God!
.
"Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth,
for the first heaven and the first earth
had passed away,
and there was no longer any sea.
I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem
coming out of heaven from God,
prepared as a bride beautifully
dressed for her husband.
And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying,
'Now the dwelling of God is with men,
and he will live with them.
They will be his people,
and God himself will be with them
and be their God.
He will wipe every tear from their eyes.
There will be no more death or mourning
or crying or pain,
for the old order of things has passed away.'
He who was seated on the throne said,
'I am making everything new!'
Then he said, 'Write this down,
for these words are trustworthy and true.'"
--Revelation 21:1-5
.
I pray I get out of this bad mood, and fast. It's already happening. :) Thanks, friends.
