It’s been so long I’m not sure where to start. And if I start I’m not sure if I’ll be able to stop. ;) Last weekend I had a rather nasty time at work. The little things- you know? It’s the little things that get me, the gossip, the negativity, Colorado has forever branded into my brain the kind of atmosphere you should have in your work place. I wanted to quit but I’d hate to quit because of negative vibes, I’d rather change it. So I’m gonna keep trying.
Something happened this last week that might help- if a happy bubble is what is required of me at work anyway. This great guy called me up, and remember what I said earlier about the big blue and planet earth? I’m in the clouds rotating planet earth now too. Figuratively. J I got flowers and decided that this would be an excellent time to preach to all you single guys ‘bout sending flowers to your girlfriend (should you be fortunate enough to get one). Its not something that is gonna make or break your relationship (we hope) BUT it will make her irrationally happy. You can practice on your mom or something. *laughs*.
So today my bubble deflated a bit because I made a mountain into a mole hill and turns out it really was a mountain. A large group of people, me included, hiked table rock this afternoon. I remembered that I had said very distinctly last time I hiked it that I was “NEVER doing this again”. Today I remembered why. I thought perhaps my over-active 16 yr old mind had exaggerated the pain but obviously not. I am now a bonafide tree-hugger; I hugged every tree along the trail going up the mountain. Coming down was by far easier and I felt just like Maria on The Sound of Music, except I had no children and no Nazis and I wasn’t really singing-more like moaning. We did have the mountain in common though. Now I am tired but it’s an accomplished tired. I didn’t die! J
As I paused to hug the trees today, I thought wow, we have such an Awesome God. I wasn’t capable of much more then that at the time but, I’m so excited right now bout our Awesome God. The message at church today was on living with humility, which is followed by integrity and a courageous life. It reminded me of my courageous bursts. You know, the random things you do that really matter to God and maybe someone else. Not the random things you do for yourself. It reminded me how I don’t want bursts that last a week but one that lasts a life time. There’s nothing more “lifelike” then living, breathing, doing, in God’s will. I’m listening to that song by Tenth Avenue North right now, “Hold My Heart” and I love the words. They talk about being alive.
Anyway, till I feel led or someone asks for a post or something interesting happens, till then, have a great life! Sonya
