Intersection: New chapter in life, work and God
I guess life is werid in how you can be content one minute and stressed out because of others. I realized that I am starting a new chapter in life. It’s about expressing myself instead of being walked on or used. I know that in the past I have been quiet and just did things but as I explore new ways to grow personally and spiritually I realized that bottling up feelings that can be expressed isn’t a good thing.
1. Find new bible study or even church to grow more and build up again to a point that I can go back on a mission’s trip.
2. Personally, go for the guy that I am interested in. I will let him know or just move on. Before I used to like guys from afar but I never told them that I liked them. Most of the time, I am attracted to guys who are mature and step up into responsibilities. A guy will never know unless you show interest.
3. Work my way up in the company. I realized that God had placed me there for a reason and one of the lessons I am learning is pick your battles wisely. While I was about to really have a big arguement with someone at work because they were not following procedures is that arguements usually do not solve the problems.
“Don’t have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguements, because you know they produce quarrels. And the Lord’s servant must not quarrel; instead he must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful. Those who oppose him he must gently instruct, in the hopes that God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of truth, and that they will come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil who has taken them captive to do his will.
2 tim 2:23-26
This is hard passage to obey to because there times where you just can’t help it but get into it. I know that once my stress level has reached a point I won’t be able to deal with a lot and get on the defensive. I know that as I was getting more stressed with the person I changed my tone and they back done and hide behind excuses about how to do things. Right now I wish I would get a promotion to have more authority over this person or so that they will stop being so rude to . I am praying to change my attitude or I will not last long there. I think people from other companies must realize that they downsizing my role and by being rude and have an attitude likeduh don’t you know what mean will only hurt them in the long run and the blame will fall on them and not myself.
I realized that at my work place, there are people who are being paid a lot but really don’t know how to do a lot and use the card “I’m still new” and there are people who give and are resentful because they are not recognized. So my pack at work, is to do one good deed for someone different at work. Especially for the ones who have helped me in the past. Mainly they are the boys who help me carry or take away stuff I shoot. I greatly appreciate them and its the little things that make the difference. You may be surprised if did a kind deed to someone but like choosing your battles you have to choose who to be nice to at work.
In end, you need to speak up or they won’t know, speak kindly and professionally, be clear and direct, avoid confrontations unless they are not following procedure and be nice to others. It won’t kill you to buy a cup of coffee or donuts for your co-workers.
