Yesterday I cried because that’s all I could to do with the heaviness weighing on my heart. They say crying cleanses the heart and soul but for how long though, when you done feeling sorry for yourself your problems are still there, right. But I must be honest it felt good crying, I don’t remember the last time I cried so much because sometimes life throws you off guard and sometimes even the strongest fall.
Yesterday I cried for my friend who recently lost her mother and all she has left is her sister and their sons. I cried for a sick family member who feels like is fighting a losing battle. I cried for my many hopeful friends looking for a job with their Diplomas hanging on their walls. But I cried mostly for myself because I had bottled so many things and kept everyone’s problems in me that I just exploded and cried till I had a headache.
Later I woke up and read my Bible just to find a verse that could make me snap out of my emotional state , but I hope the words below bring comfort to anyone feeling down or hopeless.

Here is an extract from Iyanla Vanzant
Yesterday, I Cried-
I came home, went straight to my room, sat on the edge of my bed, kicked off my shoes, unhooked my bra, and I had myself a good cry.
I’m telling you, I cried until my nose was running all over the silk blouse I got on sale. I cried until my ears were hot. I cried until my head was hurting so bad that I could hardly see the pile of soiled tissues lying on the floor at my feet.
I want you to understand, I had myself a really good cry yesterday. Yesterday, I cried, for all the days that I was too busy, or too tired, or too mad to cry.
I cried for all the days, and all the ways, and all the times I had dishonored, disrespected, and disconnected my Self from myself, only to have it reflected back to me in the ways others did to me the same things I had already done to myself.
Whatever you are going through remember that each obstacle is making you stronger and take it as a lesson. I believe GOD never gives us challenges HE knows we won’t overcome. Pray Believe and Trust that all will eventually end well and what’s meant to be will be.
2 Corinthians 12:9
But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.
