vday recap.

as all of you know, yesterday was Valentine's Day. earlier this week, i was almost 100% sure that this Valentine's Day was going to be the worst one ever and that i was going to struggle getting through the day. when you're in high school, you get the front row seat to seeing all the theatrics that take place in the lives of high school couples. there's huge teddy bears, chocolate boxes, and flowers galore. i didn't think that i was going to be getting anything at school, because there's no one there that i'm interested in or is interested in me. i have study hall after lunch, which is about half way through my school day. my study hall teacher is pretty chill so i put my earphones in and listened to some Bethel like i usually do. i was feeling pretty depressed and down & out about everything. about halfway through the period, the door opens and one of the office helpers has a bouquet of white orchids in her hand. she asked my teacher who to give these to, and he pointed at me. i was shocked. there aren't words for how surprised i was. i opened the card and it was a really encouraging note that I really needed to here. :) then, someone close to me sent me a text saying happy valentine's day. it was just the sweetest thing in the world. all of it combined turned everything around for me. then, two amazing people showed up bringing me another flower and just making my day even more. :) this whole thing taught me something: God will surprise you and take care of you always, no matter what. you just need to trust him and believe that he'll be right by your side.
