So....no work tomorrow because of hurricane Katerina, wooo hooo!!!! PARTEEEEEEEE!!!!! There isn't anything better than being able to chill at home, snuggle up to watch a good movie or read a book while you hear the rain outstide...I love it!
Well, God has been showing me SOOO much through this new job. I feel like the learning experience is helping to mold me into someone who is aware of many more things in life...like the fact that everything really is vain if you don't have God...and that the choices that you make earlier on in life will definitely affect you later on. I see these other girls at my work who are aides and single mothers, trying to make it on an almost minimum wage pay. And then sometimes I stop to think...that could have been me...if I had decided to take a different road. These girls are my age, and yet our lives differ so much.
Sometimes I feel strange...I am their supervisor, yet their struggles and needs are way greater than mine. I just pray that I may be able to show them how much God loves them and cares for them. I pray that they may be able to make wise decisions so that their children may be able to go on and make different choices. It's just amazing what you see when you get out there. Sometimes we get way too stuck in our bubble world, where we don't think about anyone but ourselves. But take a step outside, and you'll meet the greatest variety of poeple, each with their very own unique story, pain, dreams, hopes....These are the people that God loves. The people that he decided to lay his life down for...why can't we step out of our convinient worlds and reach out to them and show them that love? I hope that while I'm at this job my aides will be able to see that.
