Someone please remind me why I am still in this crazy place? Why am I still working for a company where people call in to yell at me all the time? I get chewed out by co-workers for accidentally telling the truth, I get chewed out by others for trying to help... Is there something wrong with this picture?? I keep wishing and hoping that life is going to change. However, I got a really encouraging/convicting email today. It's the cool kind because the guy did not even mean to do it. He was just talking about what was happening in his life. This sentence really stood out: "No hardship the Lithuanians can throw at me will ever make this experience a poor one." His attitude toward his situation is one that he chose. Just because life might be rough and he's going to be in many situations that will stretch him, he knows that he is there for God. If I can look at my various situations - even the ones where clients call in and rip me a new one - with a positive attitude, then at least I can come out of this situation a stronger person (well, alive anyway). It might not be one that I will ever want to do over or wish upon my worst enemy, but I will be more. Isn't that one of the main purpose of life? To honor God and grow through everything we do? It is not my place to look at my life and start cussing and wishing I was somewhere else, doing something else. God has me in this situation for a reason. (That does not mean that I am not going to dream and work to fulfill those dreams!) If I do not know that reason then the least I can do is live my life as a sacrifice to God. The reason will then most likely be fulfilled, whether or not I ever knew what it was. So for as long as I am in this situation: No hardship this company can throw at me will ever make this experience a poor one. (Lord, please help me actually live this out! Then once I get the right attitude down for this job - God can help me begin applying it to my whole life.) Until then... I get to go home and pray the next 15 hours will go slowly until I have to come back here again.
Peace out y'all. |
