Walking with Wisdom

Hey everybody! Thanks for your comments yesterday and your prayers, I really appreciate them. Yesterday was okay. VBS seemed to be the highlight of the day. Singing the songs and doing games made me really happy. Chick-Fil-A is a love/hate thing right now to me. I love serving people and going to the different businesses. That is my fave part by far. But, I am so intimidated by the manager there and I get so nervous asking for samples(will he be okay with it or will he not). It's like I am always walking on eggshells in the back. So, right now, I am always nervous in the back of the store and am fine out in the Mall. I really, really hate feeling like this. My boss Jenny is really cool, I look at her and listen to her and she does a great job of getting the job done with my manager. She told me last week I have to be strong with him and not get underneath him, because he has a way of power playing people. Well, I am just not good at that. I feel like all I do is try to avoid him so I don't have to deal with his up and down moods. And then at the same time I am trying to learn to be brave in my speech toward him and with what I am asking of the crew(sampling, etc.). I am so thankful for learning and memorized James 1:19 'Be quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger.' Because by now, I might be rambling mean things or saying mean things to him or being really impatient with him. But, God has done a great work. I am trying to learn how to be brave in speech and also carry around being gentle and kind so that I am also viewed as a Godly woman. But I am finding in business this can be really tricky. So the verse I read this morning really comforted me because I can't do any of this without God, I have to lean on Him heavily everyday!

Colossians 4:5
Conduct yourselves with wisdom toward outsiders, making the most of every oppurtunity.
How are your walks with God, what are you all learning? Would love to hear from everyone!
NChrist,
Susan

Speedy Blog

Well, y'all. I don't have much time this morning. I have to jet over to church to get games ready for VBS tonight and then I have to head over to the Chick-Fil-A job for about 3-4 hours and then come home and head to VBS. I chee wa wa.

We had a good weekend. Not great. I worked all Saturday at the library and then we worked all day yesterday at church. Not that work is not good, but now its Monday and work really begins...again. So, I don't feel really rested and am a little moody. Pray for me as I go through the day that I will continually live for Christ and will react in motion with the movement of the Holy Spirit and esepcially that I will 'be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger.' I would appreciate your prayers.

Doing my darndest to live for Him today after an unrestful weekend,
