Hoo…Thank God that I did not have any shortage today. I even had an excess of 50 cents..=) lala..
I was feeling really very down as I was working today. I can’t really put those feelings in words, but in general, I felt really down, stretched, really sian and down in the dumps. I can’t muster up any smile. Felt really terrible. This is probably due to a piece of news that I’d received before going for work.
Bah.
Don’t want to talk about it.
I felt so bad, so sian, that I considered quitting my 2nd job. I always seem to be working. When was the last time I went out to just walk around or stay at home and stone? It seemed like ages. Really cannot take it. The attitude of people doesn’t help my situation too. Especially people with an attitude of a capital A. They really think that customers are always right. They treat the person serving them like dirt. Please. Who do they think they are??!!
Man, I am not going to swear and curse over those lousy people. Not worth my time and space on this blog.
Really have a lot of things happening to me in work, home and friends. I desperately need the time to get my bearings and to get settled deep into God’s Word.
As I was working today, I thought the time for me to go home would never come. The clock crawled, so slowly that I thought I’d go crazy with waiting. I prayed to God for help. I don’t know why, but somehow I was reminded of Job. Perhaps, these recent happenings are tests?? God allowed those things to happen to mould me? Help me?
I am reminded of the following verse:
“Who can speak and have it happen
if the Lord has not decreed it?
Is it not from the mouth of the Most High
that both calamities and good things come?” – Jer 3:37-38
Another verse came to mind as I typed these words:
“…Shall we accept good from God, and not trouble?" – Job 2:10
I will be seeking God for direction and inspiration regarding the cookie and t-shirt venture with my friend.
