HAVE THINE OWN WAY O LORD :)

The lyrics of a favorite hymn of mine go like this: "Lord I hope this day is good I'm feeling empty and misunderstood I should be thankful Lord I know I should but Lord I hope this day is good" I can so relate to this hymn right now coz I am feeling empty and misunderstood. I always used to pride myself on being very open and honest. I was never in the habit of mincing words.My classmates and friends have admired me for this very quality of mine.
