December 10, 2013;

I absolutely love my job.  All those years of education actually work together to help me understand what's going on in overwhelming situations.....of course only the ones that aren't mine lol.  Its easy to look a young couple who are fighting and realize they are kids still and they were even younger adolescents when they met and became pregnant together.  Now life has dealt some very stressful events and they don't have the developmental skills to cope with them yet.  You can't look at people and say "hey, in about 10 years you will be able to have a better understanding of this situation and you will have more maturity under your belt, so just hang there".  Meanwhile they are killing each other. 

I actually enjoy the drive up, it's time I get to be alone no one can bother me no one's up and wants to call me.  And during this time I can listen to my Bible, sing if I want, listen to anything I want to and just take in the surroundings.  It's a beautiful time of year so everything is misty in the early morning and incredibly cold.  Even though I'm alone there are so many people on their way to work doing their thing just like me.  I just love it. 

No one knows me up there and that's so awesome.  They judge me by my education and nothing else.  When I leave to go to lunch I can go anywhere and sit alone or shop alone and not be disturbed or found or stopped.  I'm just alone and it's great!

God surrounds his people with His favor and He has good plans for us with an expected end.  So we can actually enjoy the day and expect God to direct our steps and walk us through.  It's been a really long time since I got to enjoy work.
