Square Peg, Round Hole


Today wasn't a great day. I've had worse, but this one wasn't much fun. There was an abundance of technical issues which manifested in various ways, and I felt ill-equipped to deal with some of them. I didn't feel as though I was of much use to the department as a whole.

To make things worse, I unintentionally blew off an afternoon meeting, because I silenced my cellular phone and closed my email application while working on resolving a wireless access problem. No reminders = No meeting. I just felt like a complete and utter failure; as if I didn't belong amongst the team of technicians and administrators that I call peers.

It's days like today that make me feel completely inadequate as a corporate professional. I want to be investing my personal time, energy and abilities into meaningful endeavors. Life is much too short, to waste time feeling inadequate, ignorant and irrelevant. I'm uncertain of what the Lord wants me to do with the rest of my life, but I pray he helps me discover my purpose very soon.

Proverbs 16:9 (The Message)

We plan the way we want to live,
but only God makes us able to live it.

I pray tomorrow is a better day.

Good night
