Cake of bread, and a jar of water

In our hour of darkness, it looks bleaker than it actually is.

1 Kings 19:3-8

"Elijah was afraid and ran for his life. When he came to Beersheba in Judah, he left his servant there, while he himself went a day's journey into the desert. He came to a broom tree, sat down under it and prayed that he might die. "I have had enough, Lord," he said. "Take my life; I am no better than my ancestors." Then he lay down under the tree and fell asleep."
"All at once an angel touched him and said, "Get up and eat." He looked around, and there by his head was a cake of bread baked over hot coals, and a jar of water. He ate and drank and then lay down again."
"The angel of the Lord came back a second time and touched him and said, "Get up and eat, for the journey is too much for you." So he got up and ate and drank (again). Strengthened by that food, he traveled forty days and forty nights until he reached Horeb, the mountain of God."

Haha! Even God stressed in the Bible about how it's important to stay properly hydrated and sufficiently fed in order to complete tedious, colossal tasks. Without adequate nutrition, you will feel absolutely suicidal. Lol. The Bible tells you so!

Fyi, Elijah was one of the major prophets in the olden days, long before Jesus appeared on the earthly timeline...

Problem is, I'm probably feeding myself a little too much. Plus, I need to get over my 'abstract sequential' traits and just finish the darn essays, gosh. Nothing can be perfect, Grace! D':

Meow.

Is there reallyyy a difference between happiness and joy?
