Any day that starts by having to pay your credit card bill after an 1100 mile roadtrip is probably going to be a pretty crappy day, but this one turned out to be exceptionally negative. Simply put, there are a lot of interpersonal dramas and issues within our staff that have been present since September but have yet to be resolved. I mostly just spent the whole day feeling annoyed. But I did have a few exceptionally God-filled moments today that I need to remain thankful for like taking the time to listen to family stories, look at pictures, and play Spiderman with a little boy who has spent the first few years of his life recovering from a pre-natal addiction to drugs. While I feel blessed to have had the chance to grow some family relationships today, I'm still in a generally terrible mood so I'm going to try to create my own beautiful moment of the day with something funny:
When Wyoming County cancels school for a "blizzard":
Locals:
Me:
Dinnertime at the center:
Putting together work orders for volunteers:
Expectation:
Reality:
When I emerge from the apartment for morning devotions:
When people find out how much I get paid:
When the Budweiser Clydesdale commercial from the Super Bowl comes on:
When my workday is over:
"For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven...A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance." Ecclesiastes 3:1-4
