Another Work Week Begins

Well, I'm not certain where the weekend went, but we're beginning a new work week. I'm trying to keep my attitude in check and begin with a positive outlook on the weeks' events, instead of succumbing to the posture of dread. My flesh is telling me that I need to stay home tomorrow; there are things that need to be done and just will not be taken care of if I'm not here to do them. These are things that can be rationalized away, too. The car isn't running well and it's needing to be looked at in a serious manner. It's our only vehicle and we depend on it daily. My spirit is telling me that I should definitely have the car looked at, but I need to schedule the event out- giving my supervisor several days of notice, instead of springing my absence upon them.

My wife and I would be home tomorrow to take the car in to the dealer. The service department isn't open on weekends and Tuesday through Friday are busy for both of us. Monday is the best day for getting anything done outside of the normal errands. I'm so torn, I don't know what I'm going to do. Don't you hate getting caught in moral dilemmas like this? Do I call in tomorrow? Do I schedule it out a week or so? The war between the flesh and spirit, wisdom and foolishness and right and wrong wages on in my head.

Galatians 5:16-18 (New International Version)

So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature. For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature. They are in conflict with each other, so that you do not do what you want. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under law.

I think I need to follow my spirit on this one. I will talk with my boss tomorrow about taking next Monday off of work, so that we can get the car into the shop.

Good Night
