Why Can't I Get it Together (Ft. Jamie Ivey)
Description
Have you ever had a difficult day and just asked yourself, "Why can't I get it together?"
Maybe you lost your temper with your spouse, or you're exhausted from running around after your kids all day. Maybe your work project isn't going how you had hoped, or you feel overwhelmed by every little thing.

You're trying to “get it together”, but you still feel worlds away from where you think you should be.
