Weekending Friday 8th September

What a week.

This is the first two day weekened I have had off work in about 6 weeks. I was asked to work but since my employer has decided to refuse to pay me overtime (Like they have a choice when you work 50-60 hrs a week) I politely declined the Saturday shift. It was hard to do, my boss will now have to work 7 days but I had to take a stand.

I'm contemplating my future there, I love the work but the atmosphere around the actual business feels grimey. Its hard to be positive when you constantly hear of negative outcomes.

But this week has been good. I am training up a new despatcher, he seems pretty good and have more training to do next week as well as training another person. One thing I am certain of is that I am shown much favour there, Praise be to God.

Spiritually things are on a high. I've been reading my bible all week, I am listening to a CD called Simply Worship. I play it on  the way to work at 4.30AM then when I get in to the office (I'm on my own for a couple of hours) I play it again. Its beautiful and work seems easier. I then sing along and worship God in the car on the way home. Bliss!

I have a new laptop (new to me) and have created a bible reading plan which includes old testament new testament, one psalm and one proverb every day. I am using Nelsons bible software. I highly recommend it.

I also read an on this day faith builder. Every day theres a story about a Christian who has suffered for their faith, but God, most assuredly has been their comfort.

On top of that I am reading my Becomming,a new testament bible for women. I have been led into Ephesians. And my reading here is not out of discipline or compulsion I just want to! What a breakthrough!!!

Life group is on tonight, I cant wait! I am believing for 20 people (recently we've been down to 12) but more important than numbers, I am hoping for something fresh. Whenever we have a discussion our leader always leads well but I think people are closing up more than they did originally. I want something different tonight.

I am pretty tired, I am not capable of thinking deeply, well not writing it eloquently anyhow.

Finally though I am believing next year I will either be at bible college full-time or I will be part of the intern program at my church. I will continue to work full-time but theres a calling on my life that goes beyond working and I am willing to step into it. I am going to make an appointment with my pastor next week to discuss.
