When it Rains....

Has it been raining everywhere this week? My parents said it has been pouring at their house in central Florida, it's been pouring here in SE Georgia and I think a couple of other people have told me it's been raining there too... Well, I guess we can be thankful for the rain that the Lord has provided so that we can replenish our lakes and waterways...and be thankful that we have healthy grass and plants...and be thankful that we have good enough health to mow the grass that is getting ready to GROW! :) It's good exercise. hehe.

The other kind of rain is not so much fun...the kind that comes down on you like a flood. When too many things are coming at you at one time and you're not sure what to do with it or where to start to think about it. It just piles up and then WOOSH! Now it's in your lap. I know we've all been through these times in our life (and if not, watch out! lol). I know when I get hammered with all of it, I'm just overwhelmed. Lucas and I are both in job situations that we are not happy with. I will speak for both of us when I say this, but we are SSOOO thankful to both have jobs, but is it just us or does anyone else feel like when you are in a job that just makes you miserable, you almost wonder why you even go to work and almost wish you didn't have a job? I know this is the devil just trying to make us doubt our faith that if the Lord will bring us to it, He'll bring us through it....but MAN it's tough! So, I was told today that I'm not a "team player". You wouldn't think that something like this was that big of a deal, but that was hurtful. But to make it seem not has hurtful, let's just add that it's not necessarily a "bad trait". Apparently, if you're a good employee with great leadership skills and motivation to get things done and has a drive for accomplishing goals, not being a team player is ok....??? I'm not sure where this mentality comes from. To top it off...what makes me not a team player is that I don't call the office while I'm on vacation to see if they need me for anything and I don't want to use a joint calendar for my meetings. Hmm...I guess I'll have to reconsider my "if you want it done right, do it yourself" attitude if I want to be considered a team player.

'till next time...
