Child's Prayer

Today was not a great day to wear eyeliner.
I almost never wear eyeliner anymore, due to laziness. But the one day that I do is like mega tearfest all the day long. For real.

The church is true, my friends. 
Today I had a day full of overwhelming amount of emotion, and it kept kind of falling out of my eyes. I was feeling everything--others hardships, feeling my own, the reality of soon leaving my friends and family, having unrealistic fears of what could happen while I am gone, self doubt and fear, were all right on the surface today. 

And as I prepare for bed and reflect on the day, I am listening to the primary song "A Child's Prayer" that I just sang with Brevitas a week ago. What a powerful song, and what reassurance it brings. Because for the last week I had been feeling "Heavenly Father, are You really there?" I didn't even realize I had been feeling that way until the song began. 

Heavenly Father is there. He hears our prayers.
I believe in Him. I believe in His love for us. I believe.

And I should never wear eyeliner again. Pointless, really.
