Day three-hundred-three

Mom and I went to visit Joe Miller at the hospital. He looked pretty good, but spent the half-your drifting into and out of sleep. Pray for Joe, as he's having trouble sleeping at night, and the doctors and nurses are trying to get Joe onto a regular schedule. We certainly continued to talk to him, as we were told he could hear anything we say. I told Joe that all that had happened to him had convicted me of my need to pray for my brothers and sisters, and I hadn't been.

We got another new employee at work today. That's makes two new packers in digital just this week.

Just as we've finally gotten enough help, we found out today that Ana is movng to first shift on Monday. She's been trying to get moved to first shift at least as long as I've been woroing in digital, and that's been since late February. Admittedly, my first thought was if this was going to hurt my chances of geting cross-trained on the ABG machine. Without Ana, I'm the only packer on second shift currently able to actually scan and ship items.

Eventually, the new packers, Almond and Jose, will learn to ship and get their logins and passwords, but that's going to take some time. Once I realized what was happening, to say that I was frustrated would be an understatement.

I think the Lord allowed this to show me something about myself. Again, I have prayed that God would search out those secret sins that are deep in my heart, and today, He showed me that I am still very quick to anger, and in that anger, I am quick to unbelief.

I don't want to be possessed of a bitter, angry unbelief. It is an area of sin in my life that I think I've been reluctant to deal with, oddly enough because I don't want to be angry and unbelieving. I had elected to deal with it by ignoring it, essentially. I can't ignore sin in my life, I have to deal with sin head-on. Scripture tells that if we confess our sins, God is faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us of all unrighteouness (1 John 4:9). Pray that the Lord would impress upon me to trust in His faithfulness to forgive my sins, and that this would motivate to confess my sins to Him.
