So I realize I totally didn't post anything yesterday :/ But that is because I was celebrating my birthday, and I had a busy day at work and everything was going all kinds of crazy after, needless to say I am EXHAUSTED! I have been so busy in fact that daily I find myself sitting for just a ten second time period and feeling partially revived after! That is crazy.
In my Bible study, we talked about resting; physically, emotionally, mentally, and mostly spiritually. I never really realized how much it takes to get out into the world daily and do the work God has called us to do. Even in my boring or busy day at work, I am expected to work harder to act as the Christian God has called me to be... working for Him is a lot harder than pushing carts, just throwing that out there. The challenges I face with the many strangers I come into contact daily are getting progressively harder... When you work in a place that MANY to HUNDREDS of people visit weekly, you know there is a reason behind why you were put there. I try so hard to be kind and helpful as a reflection of Gods unending love for people, but sometimes, my human instincts take over and I become tired and angry and I forget that I am there to serve a far greater purpose than just bagging or ringing peoples groceries.
Sometimes I think it takes just one simple event to help people see the love God has for them. Sometimes it can be as simple as saying Hello with a smile, or helping someone with something they've found themself struggling with, just anything. I have learned a lot through work and study that I can't even fully explain.
"God understands our prayers even when we can't find the words to say them".
