Today has been terrible. It started off with my phone alarm not working, which made me late to work. Then, the supposedly slow shift got extremly busy, and it's not one i've ever worked. Then my phone gets lost (but later found). Then, when i check the schedule, my next shift was changed from tommorrow to fri, interupting my plans to go to chris's house. To top all this off, i get rear-ended in the Quik-Trip Parking Lot. We exchanged insurance and it wasn't much more than a fender bender. But then, my Dad get really mad. Understandable since my brother was in a collision 3 days ago.
And yet, i wouldn't change a thing. I made it through today with either constant smiling, or constant spacing out :P . Even though all these things were there to drag me down, and normally they would, i kept on going because i had too. Because Denver was Watching. Denver is my 2A at QT. he's a drinker, a party-er, and has a Super-model wife. But he's watching me. He knows I'm a christian. And he knows I want to be a preacher. He watches me to see if I'm real. I am real, but I have to be extra sure around him. His Soul is on the line.
I discovered, on Christmas of all days, that i'm a whiner. I gripe alot. I'll gripe, even if somthing doesn't really bother me, just for attention. If thats not Pride, I don't know what is. I asked God to help me keep my pride in check, to let me be a giver, not a griper. I think God answered my prayer today. I could feel myself subconsciously preparing to get stressed out. But I never did. And because I wasn't focused on me the entire time, not only did I get some work done, but I might see someone in heaven for it.
