Life just seems to have a way of throwing challenges in your face when you least expect them. My challenges over this last week plus? 1. My laptop is dying. And it's not going gracefully. Instead of just rolling over and staying dead, it's teasing me.... The blue screen of death seven times in a row at the hotel, but starting up just fine when I get to the office. Right now, it SEEMS to be working, but I don't know if I will actually get this posting completed. 2. Sir is now working evenings. *sigh* I was looking forward to my warm welcome home tomorrow afternoon.... Guess it will have to wait until He gets off work, now. 3. I get to convince a group of people (who don't want to be convinced) that moving to a new process and structure is a GOOD thing. My skill at diplomacy is low to begin with. So this ought to be fun! Especially since this group of 20-some people decided long ago that none of the system changes had anything to do with them.... 4. I'm stuck in a rut with the data at work. I can't do anything until other people fix the mistakes they made. And I just know that everyone is going to scramble to fix all their mistakes tomorrow with the misunderstanding that I can get all their data in on Friday before uploads are scheduled. I'm not looking forward to the outcome this week.... The curve balls are coming in from the right and the left. But I just keep dodging, jigging, zagging, and doing my best to keep up. I'm actually sitting here with a smile on my face, because I know that very, very early Friday morning, someone will wrap His loving arms around me and make it all better. I miss Him.... |

I know that feeling well... just thinking of Him calms my worst fears. For newcomers and not so newcomers. Arm yourself with knowledge

i can relate to this......well cept for the "someone will wrap His loving arms around me and make it all better" In a two month period, two years ago.....this all happened to me: 1. i had a completely unexpected heart attack (i was 49 at the time). 2. my "so called" Master and fiancee left me completely out of the blue. 3. i moved residence. 4. i turned 50 Lol talk about major stress events....thank God the first 5 months following all this i have virtually no memory of. And it all worked out happily in the end. i hope all your challenges work out well, as did mine ~scarlet~ ![]()

*smile* what doesn't kill you makes you stronger no? You're amazingly strong lovely! and i know you'll rise to meet these challenges, making yourself and Him proud of all you're able to accomplish before you're back in his arms. Remember everything you accomplish in the world is another way of serving him, as you struggle and prevail at work, keep a cool head and make wise decisions you continue to make Him proud. Hopefully i'm not speaking out of turn... Anyways...i know you'll get through this and come out on top! i'm on your side as always!

'Mama, it's a feeling that is so hard to describe.... I just feel safer knowing that He's going to be with me soon. Oh, my, Scarlet! You had HUGE challenges! I'm so glad it worked out well for you in the end and truly hope life continues to treat you nicely! Syllista, you always put a smile on my face, sweetie! Dreamer, I will! Sir, I wish for whatever will put a smile on your face.... Even when I get anxious about it!

Wistful, Diplomacy???? What's That? LOL. Not one of my strong points either, yet, I always seem to be placed in a position where I wish it was. Keep a stiff lip girl. Pet

Pet, you know how they say that life will keep throwing the same challenge at us until we master it? *blech* This, too, shall eventually pass. And I'll be happy when it does!

Scarlet, it's one of life's ironies that what doesn't break us DOES make us stronger. I'm so glad you came through it all in a positive manner.
