How are you really?

Moments like this when your heart experiences pain but you can't explain why.

Moments like this when you call a familiar voice just to hear truth

Moments like this when you so desperately just want to go home

Moments like this when you want to lay down and cry.

Moments like this when you hear a powerful message and your heart is constantly telling you to forgive, but that means surrendering your pain and placing it in someone else's hands

Moments like this when you read something and you are moved to tears.

Moments like this when the sun brings you great joy.

Moments like this when you just write and write and write in order to make sense of any emotion.

Moments like this when you search the scriptures for truth.

We all have those days. Days where you just hurt, but can't explain why.
Days where you just want to run or even hide behind laughter, busy schedules, and even temporary joy.
Days where the answer to "how are you" isn't actually "good"
How are you really?
