“I’m just havin’ a really bad day.”
You know those “bad days” we usually refer to? Those days where we wake up and things just seem to go wrong right from the start? Those days we may use as an excuse for when we’re “edgy”? Those days we give name to when things just aren’t running smoothly or according to plan? Those days where you just want to throw in the towel and crawl back in bed?!
Well you know what, let’s be thankful for those bad days! So it’s a day not going so well… We will all have those. But at least we can live it! It’s only by the grace of God that we have life, and can live! Rejoice!
Think of the thousands of people in Haiti, whose lives have been turned upside down by the devastating earthquake just over a week ago. Think of all the lives that were lost… Think of those who are still in frantic desperation, trying to locate their loved ones… Think of those who survived, but still need food, water, and medical attention…
Think what it would be like to be in their shoes for a day. Be thankful that our bad days aren’t as bad as this! Let us be reminded of those who have life much harder than we do, and let us pray for them.
Look at your life. If you have a roof above your head, a family to love, and food to eat - thanks be to God!! We see that we are truly blessed.

When my life is compared to those who live in Haiti it is hard to justify a bad day. In fact I do not recall too many BAD days, I do recall many frustrating days but everyday is a blessed day to those of us who are called as children of God. Haiti has their share of problems and of course the earthquake is a major one. I am praying that through this natural disaster the HAITIANS as a nation will have a change of heart toward God and except His leadership.
If we have Christ we have everything, if we have not Christ we have nothing. Therefore we need to seek Christ at every opportunity and pray for opportunities to tell others about Him. Haiti is ripe for a harvest of righteousness. I am praying for workers to go into the harvest and Preach CHRIST crucified, buried, risen and coming again.
I prayed for you too Kira.
God bless
Lovely post. Our bad days are nothing compared to Haiti right now.
Prayers,

Great post! God bless!
Hey Kira (and everyone of course)
Can someone in your church ask people to bring stuffs as water bottles, blankets, old clothes… Etc, to send it to Haiti ? It could be a nice idea to help them.
Yes, our church is taking part in the Haiti Disaster Relief Fund… It’s just so sad to watch what’s going on over there. I pray that many will be drawn to the Lord Jesus Christ through this tragedy.
Hy Kira,
I just want you to watch out; in your “websites” list, the site Modesteen changed its URL and there”s is now a very immodest picture… Its not your fault, they may have moved to another website.
Love you !
In Christ,
Stephanie
