I woke up today unprepared for the work week ahead of me. I intended to rest and recharge this weekend, but with my wife being sick, the animals needing to go to the vet and kids' demands, I left the weekend feeling drained. The ring of the alarm broke my comfortable slumber and reminded me that regardless of how I felt, the house, car and other bills will not pay for themselves. I had to get up.
Work went as expected; busy and chaotic for most of the team. I actually wasn't swept into the bustle as much as some other team mates today, but I felt the stress and change that is in the air. Lots of whispering, lots of closed door meetings. I just kept my head down and kept on working. Our new manager is implementing change at a breakneck pace and everyone's feeling it.
It's in these times when people can get frustrated. Most people go into depression for a time, when they're trapped in a situation that's putting pressure on them from multiple sides. Whether it's a situation at home, or things happening at work, life has a way of pushing us around. It most certainly happens to Christians, too.
To be honest, I'm overwhelmed with our growing debt load and mounting needs of the family. Couple this with the uncertainty at work over the long haul, it's tough to see how things will get better. Yet, I know that they will. I believe this, because I have faith that the Lord will step in and make our path more clear. I'm expecting the best from our situation and expect full restoration in the months and years ahead, if I'll only hold on to Him.
Proverbs 3: 5-6 (New International Version)
Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
2 Timothy 4:7 (New International Version)
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.
Good Night
