B.L.O.O.M.

Life likes to throw all types of things at us. And it seems like more often than not I get hit, square in the forehead. Work has been coming at me fast and hard, lately. I am extremely grateful for my job, but extrememly frustrated with it. Most of the people I work with tend to look down on my because they think I'm "just a secretary". None of them have really taken the time out to get to know me, or for that matter even mumble hello. The funny thing is, I was the one who was reprimanded for not interacting with the group enough. (HILARIOUS!) So, anyway, I'm trying to tunnel my way out of here, but for the time being, I must make the best of a bad situation.

Last month, a minister visited our church for our Pastor's Anniversary. One thing that he said that stick with me, was that we must bloom in spite of our present circumstances. I've been praying for God to help me bloom, daily. It has been extremely difficult while also dealing with my own personal feelings of failure (simply because 10 years post high school my only significant accomplishment is graduating from college and that was 6 years ago). So, last week I decided to make 'bloom' mean something. This is what I came up with Believing Life's Occurences are Ochestrated by the Master! And that is how I'm going to have to make it through. I have to believe that God put me right where I am, right now for a reason...to increase my faith and dependence on Him and to know that He is ordering my steps.

...lead me and guide me, Lord.
