I LOVE my new job!
And for your information, I got it wrong. I am not a church secretary. I am an "Administrative Assistant!"
I was alone again today. I absolutely love having my own little desk, being there to greet people and have little projects. Today I worked on the bulletin with the pastor's help. She was at a meeting downtown, but available for questions via Google chat.
Just think, I would be just barely crawling out of bed at home when I am already at my desk, full of coffee and ready for the day! I was worried that the extra time on the job would zap me, but instead I am finding it energizes me!
I think I like a challenge. This morning I actually popped right up, made tea and my lunch, did the dishes, sat down and wrote in my prayer journal and did a little bible study before putting on my eyebrows and heading out the door.
I caught all of my buses in time and even had time for a little reflective latte sipping at the Starbucks around the corner from the bus stop.
I caught my favorite new bus driver's bus. And she dropped me off at the stop in front of the church 15 minutes before my shift began.
I met some more people today, including a woman that volunteers for a veteran's organization that rents space in the church.
I am making so many new friends!
I like my bus route - It is a breeze because one bus is the #72, which travels along SE 82nd. I've never waited more than 12 minutes for that bus. I think I am going to look for a small apartment for my son and I near the church. I have a good vibe about the neighborhood. And it would make sense to live close, since it is the first place I start in the morning.
And coincidentally, the stores my son merchandises are all in the vicinity too!
I'd like to share more, but I have yet another bus to catch to my first afternoon student.
I am wondering also if I am feeling unusually cheerful is my refraining from social media. I just check in to Facebook on the bus. I am avoiding posting anything political. I read a bit, my heart races and then I file it in the back of my mind to research later.
I am also greatly enjoying my Lysa TerKeurst bible study ("Finding I Am: How Jesus Fully Satisfies the Cry of Your Heart") Coincidentally, (or not!), after I posted about abstaining from social media and things that separate me from God, I read in her book about fasting!
And today I have a "bible reading of the day" email. Today's scripture was
Exodus 3:14
"14 And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you"
OK. I really don't believe in coincidences.
More tomorrow...
OH, I almost forgot. Today I added another "fruit of the spirit" to ponder on. Patience.
So, as I walk, if my thoughts turn downward, I think about the four fruits of the spirit I am developing:
Happy Wednesday!
