Hanging in There
It’s funny how God uses other people to speak audibly when you’re having trouble hearing His still, small voice.
After an utterly horrendous day at the office yesterday, I felt completely disheartened and frustrated. I felt like an inefficient, unorganized, and unproductive clod. Why does it feel like I’m constantly rushing, yet I feel like I don’t accomplish anything? It’s like a hamster running on the wheel — going nowhere fast. After feeling downtrodden all day and dreaming about work all night, I lay in bed in my first moments of wakefulness this morning and lifted up a desperate prayer for help through the day.
Today, I had several people ask me how I am doing in my new position and offered me completely unsolicited words of encouragement. One person said, “you’re the right person for the job.” Another, in a completely separate encounter said, “I’m glad you got the position.” I didn’t realize it at the time, but in hindsight, I think it was God’s little way of telling me to hang in there.
A 30-something Christian girl, blissfully wedded to her perfect match (the yang to her yin) of 14 years. Living life in Hawaii, less than 5 miles from her hometown, a slave to her mortgage payment, but seeking balance in her pursuit of family, faith, recreation, and rest.
hang in there, one day you’ll be able to look back on this day and smile
