joy and pain

I had all kinds of intentions to write a nice long blog about some things I have been processing... But the truth is I am too tired. And my brain hurts. And I have to get up way early to go to my first manager's meeting (which I am super excited about!). So you're getting the short version.

I would first like to say that I heard that 85% of Americans are extremely unhappy in their job. So. Sad. For more than one reason. It's sad that we feel we have to settle for a job we aren't passionate about in order to make money. It's sad that we don't even know what would ,ake us happy. It's sad that we aren't satisfied with the blessing of a job. I don't have a solution, or and answer really... I mostly just feel flabbergasted by that high of a number. 85%. Dang.

Also, my discipleship partner and I have been talking about sin, and how it creeps into our lives. We let these tiny sins in our lives. They are just little "pet sins". They are manageable, small, fluffy, part of who we are. They are the things we let hang around, they are welcome in our homes, we have grown complacent with them being there. And they are destroying us. We don't even see it. They eat at our souls. I guess what I am trying to say that my pet sins have become ugly monsters. They are affecting my relationships, especially the one with my Savior. And that just isn't ok.

Sorry, this did end up being long. Forgive me. Have a fantastic week. Love love.
