This Girl

This girl is feeling like she's stepping away from God again. I gotta correct that. I went waaaayyy too long without Him this last semester and I don't plan on that happening again, no matter the circumstances.

It's funny. I was reading a friend's blog about Jesus and what He revealed to her through Psalms 72. It made me wonder what God has revealed to me lately.

I can be such a drama queen. I could be having a fantastic day and all it would take is just one thing to topple it into a "horrible day" or maybe "the worst day of my life." It might even be an average day (not fantastic, but okay) and just one bad thing will put me in a crappy mood all day.

Today I was supposed to work the lunch shift then have the rest of the afternoon and evening to myself. Because my managers can be complete morons at times, they didn't realize they scheduled me in the afternoon box, so they only really scheduled one host that night. So instead of going home around 2 or 3, I had to stay til 8 that evening. I was pissed at first--totally livid. However, a verse popped into my head, one that my mom had drilled into me growing up (which is probably why I hate it so much), but that verse is "Do everything unto the Lord cheerfully so that He may bless you (no idea where it's found but probably in Psalms or in the New Testament)."

Well no doubt, God popped that into my head. It would have been nice to be a drama queen all day and let everyone hear how nice and pissed I was, but instead, I then tried to start making the best of it. After all, if I'm griping and complaining to my manager about having to stay, chances were, she would've made me stay even longer. I can't say I was totally cheerful about being there, but I definitely worked on stopping my complaints on working a double.

Lesson thought about, and lesson still being learned!
