Learning and Growing, Hopefully 

It’s been stressful, full of ups and downs.

One up is that I got confirmed at my work, got a pay raise and a bonus. It was a surprise and such a blessing.

One down is the whole table load of work I have to do and the stress that follows, mostly through dealing with others, namely the bosses. I’m making an effort to learn to smile during stressful times and to have a joyful and positive attitude, trusting the Lord for the outcome while doing my best.

I got a new Reporting Officer, and that’s an up and down. Down because I’m sad to see my previous RO, the one who took a chance on me, hired me and mentored me, leave. Up because my new RO is really nice and easy to approach and work with. However, I guess the most major loss I feel is having a good, faithful christian in my previous RO. It was comforting and encouraging to have a strong christian support in the workplace. Now, it’s scary being alone, with no moral support from a fellow believer.

I’m also dealing with bouts of loneliness and yearning for companionship again. It’s a battle I’ve been fighting on and off. I have to continue to trust that the Lord will bring the right person to me when it is the right time. And in the mean time, seek solace in my Heavenly Father.

So that’s me in the last month. Learning, hopefully growing.
