case of the Mondays

Today started out rough - I woke up and was really sick from something I ate last night. I get to work and nothing seems to be going right. Everyone wants something working immediately and instead nothing is working at all. People are frustrated and it's FREEZING in our office (that's a given). All morning I thought about just walking out and going back home. To top it off, I had 5 messages from people telling me my voice mail message was out of date. Obviously I don't care - If they knew me they'd know I never even answer my phone at work. I had a bad case of the Mondays.

The good news is things started brightening up this afternoon. Issues started getting resolved, progress was made, went to lunch with Britt and Laura, I kept my lunch down, it rained (sometimes that makes me happy), our gynormous new conference table arrived, I ran errands successfully and came home to a beautifully clean house.....AND found out I could save 15% or more on car insurance. No, not really, but I did find out I could save money on cable and internet and that made me happy. I even made dinner and went through my small group lesson preparation for this week! Erin called and the good news is that he is coming here in 3 DAYS!!! Bad news is there is a slight hang up in the paperwork so pray that gets resolved tomorrow....I believe that it will.

Despite how our days progress or digress, whether trivial or life changing, it's good to know that no matter what the circumstances, we always have a reason for joy. It's hard not to let things get to me, but there is something very nice about being to step back, relax, and know that God is in control, and things will work out in the end.
