SFC Mission Volunteer SHOUT, Precon Preparation, Flying a plane, Biking, TNC Preparation, Hot Air Balloon ride (for the nth time?!?!)…
Just a few of the things I am looking forward to in the next two weeks, starting Saturday. I spent my last 2 months working like crazy – working two jobs and over time hours. And this Friday my part-time job term ends. I JUST CANT WAIT for my first day of freedom! Don’t get me wrong, I am not complaining.
First, I have no right to complain. Second, there’s nothing I can complain about. I get tired sometimes. Migraine never fails to visit me every month. I got flu for 2 days. Working from 7am to 11pm every single day is no joke. But have I ever felt really exhausted the past 2 months? No… I felt even blessed.
I am blessed that at the end of each day I have God’s shoulders to rest upon.
I am blessed because I have understanding and loving sisters who would adjust to my schedule to have a household, plus my upper household and mentors who stays and waits patiently for my “come-back.” 😀
I am blessed because I have an adoptive mom and brother in the city who are there when I want to breathe and relax.
I am blessed because I am working with great team-players.
I am blessed because God helps me find time to meet Him amidst my crazy schedules.
I am blessed because miles away I have a loving family away who completely understands that there are times I can’t stay longer on the phone (I owe them “big TIME“!).
And above all, I am blessed knowing that these crazy days at work will end, and great things await me – adventures, service, and bonding times to top them all. 🙂
All forms of stress is never a big deal when you are surrounded with positive people, when you know you are loved, when you know it will end (surely it will) and when you know you have a God up there, embracing you and preparing exciting things for you! You may be currently stuck in a task – whether it is at work, service, or working on a certain commitment… Keep sweating! Do it with fun! God works with us – ALL THE TIME, with a big smile!!! And don’t forget that He keeps His promise – “because you know that everyone will receive a reward from the Lord for whatever good he has done.” – (Eph 6:8)
Stay blessed!
