Day one-hundred-seventy-two

Today is the first day of summer. As much as I'd like to be doing something somewhere to mark the occasion, I'm home. At least once this summer, I'd like to get to the beach. For what it's worth, I need to find someone to go with me, but I'm getting ahead of myself…

This is actually the first summer in a number of years that I'll be working through the whole season. It's better for me to be working than not, for a number of reasons. It helps to have a steady income and it keeps me out of trouble, especially with a job that I think God is using to cause me to grow spiritually.

This week was so busy, my patience was constantly being tried. It showed me that my patience needs to grow. I've learned (and am still learning) not to yield to my frustration. We were getting buried under a huge amount of work, items were getting misplaced, and I'm increasingly feeling the pull to move on to something else. I'm not looking at any other positions at the moment, nor am I in the position to simply walk away. Of course, I've gone through stressful periods before, and every time things start settling down, my desire to leave will diminish.

Pray that God will grant me wisdom in dealing with my work situation. I need more wisdom and patience in considering my options, whether to stay out for the time being, or to see what else is out there in the meantime.
