puh-lease.
It’s e-mails like this, that are degrading to me and come in bulk (only a little sarcasm). This one just needs little to no explaination.
“it is just replacing the image………………“1. I’m daily given things I’ve never done before and have to figure out. When I have a question, I get answers like this.
2. If it was actually that easy (and it’s not)….do it yourself and save us all time.
This job is sucking the life out of me and I genuinely mean that.
My daily prayer is for my attitude to be Christ-like despite the way I’m treated and for the strength not to say, “I quit”.
And for another job.
You see, I’ve been praying God uses me as a light in a dark world. This work place is lost and it’s quite saddening. I often walk out of work thankful that I don’t behave in such a way as the people inside those doors and it’s only because God rescued me. So, I see it as my responsibility to shed His light in anyway I can. But, I also believe there’s a line between being a light and laying down to abuse. Being a Christian doesn’t mean letting people walk all over you. In all honesty, I’m a pretty spineless person. I know this and have been told it jokingly and not jokingly. I don’t stand up for myself but in a heartbeat would stand up for someone I care about. I let people walk all over me…over and over again. Giving chance after chance, blaming myself and wondering what I could have done to prevent the situation. Needless to say, it takes a lot for me to get to the point of standing up for myself. I’m there in my mind but I’m not there outwardly…yet. I pray that even in my standing up for myself, if it comes, I still represent Christ through my actions.
Thankful His mercies are new every single morning.
