Stronger than yesterday


A day or so ago, I went to my old job and had a copy made of something for them.  While there, I noticed I began shaking.  I loved my job, but it was made very difficult and is why I'm not going to work there.  Yes, I thought it was pretty ridiculous too that I was shaking when I no longer was an employee! I told myself to stop 'cause I was much stronger than when I was when I had worked there.  My shaking needless to say, stopped and I was much more confident in being there than I was when I had come.

 I talked with an old high school classmate and caught up with her today.  It was good to talk about our lives and how we'd risen to the challenges of life and grown.  We went to my old church and made copies for the children's pastor too.  While there, I saw that another pastor seemed to still be at the church.  Long story short, I just really didn't like how he handled a few situations.  I called my mom and talked with her briefly about it and in some ways, we agreed to disagree and others she and I were in different spots.

I got home and processed a bit with my roommate.  I love them! I checked my e-mail to discover that one position at St. Luke's they have decided to go with another person.  My roommate and I then went on a grocery run due to a lunch we're having to have people over at our house for the first time as guests.  All the guests fell out at the last minute save one, but that is OK.  Afterwards, I got to hang out with some more friends and we hung up some pictures.  Our house really looks like a home now.
Devotions is on working together and treating the body of Christ right.  I feel that is what my roommates and I are doing as we walk through this year of life - working together and hopefully treating them right! ;) Regardless of my feelings towards the pastor, if I had seem him earlier today I would have treated him right.  We are all human and make mistakes no matter if God is in us or not.  Its always a good idea to acknowledge you have made them, though!
