Refocus

This week has just been so awful at work. Deadlines are approaching and my assignments are completely stalling. Then I have no motivation to keep working on things I know I need to do. It is so frustrating and I hate crying at work, but today the tears keep flooding into my eyes. Not too many have fallen out, but it gets to the point, you know, when my vision is all blurry and they are just about to fall out! I don't like that feeling. So anyway, I read a post by my friend Jenny where she was thinking of blessings in her life for her birthday. I was challenged by it to think of the blessings in my life in this stressful time instead of wallowing in my own frustrations.

Well........I've discovered at this time that I can't. I'm just being honest, but I feel like I'm not able to joyfully think of blessings - and that's okay. I'm leaning on this instead:

Find rest, O my soul, in God alone;

my hope comes from him.

He alone is my rock and my salvation;

he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.

My salvation and my honor depend on God

he is my mighty rock, my refuge.

Trust in him at all times, O people;

pour out your hearts to him,

for God is our refuge.

Selah

So today I will do my share of pouring my heart to a faithful, all too worthy God who I know will bear it for me.

The journey continues......
