A job & a break

This week I had the opportunity to be our church secretary.  I covered for our secretary so she could go on vacation and recharge!  It's been a good week.  I have really enjoyed getting back into what I know best, clerical, office....etc.  It been sort of a break for me to come work here at the church.  Don't get me wrong I do enjoy my job with Comfort Keepers but it's always nice to be in a place and doing what you really know you can do and be good at it.  As a care giver it's a challenge knowing if you will work out with the client or not, different personalities and such.

I do have to tell you a little funny thing that happened yesterday.  I have been laughing about it to myself.  So I needed to print the church bulletins.  You would think that doing them and getting in all the information on the computer would be hard but for me figuring out which way the paper goes in the printer was harder for me.

I finally gave in and text Linda and asked for help.  I didn't get a reply in a reasonable length of time so I got back up to try again.  After try try again and wasting some paper I finally printed it!  I did  a little happy dance afterwards.

The funny part was a few hours later when I had been home, I was looking through my phone texts and thought "wow Linda didn't answer me...she must be out of town...good for her, I'm glad"  As I looked at the name I noticed that it said "Lance Martin"  An embarrassing feeling washed over me and left a light pink glow on my cheeks.

He is an old friend that lives in Las Cruses NM.  Well now I know what Linda never answered :)
But I also realized that God's hand was in this......he was there and helped me figure out the printing without pestering Linda :)

Try try again and ask God and he will help you.

(I sent a message to Lance and told him sorry for the mix up but he never replied so maybe I got the wrong number and the wrong person still!)  Oh well I'm grateful for the Lord's help and reassurance.

Have a nice weekend friends

Whats been going on

What's been going on?  Well there is always something going on......and each day ends and starts again. Each day I look for the joys in the midst of life and I'm thankful for those moments.  I'm discovering that life isn't easy and we already know that but its the way we respond to it that impacts our life in more ways than one.  If I respond negative or try to focus on the negative I'm not happy and I don't feel good and everyone around me is miserable.  If I respond with grace, and thankfulness in the negative I can feel His presence and can be at peace in those moments.

I may find things to fill my days and distract my thoughts for a few moments but at the end of the day I know that I'm alright because His hand was in my day.  I know that to start my day I need to be in His word and surrender the unknown of the day so that He can work in my life.

I'm grateful for all that has been going on........
