This has been the longest day ever. I kept looking at the clock at work and it never seems to change. Sometimes I really enjoy my job and enjoy that I'm comfortable and good at what I do. But then there are other days (like today) that it is slowly killing my soul.
Which brings to me what I choose to be thankful about today.
I am thankful that I have a job. In this country, in this world, in this economy, that is something I should not take for granted. There are hundreds and hundreds of people who would love to be working.
And not only do I have a job. But I work for an amazing organization that my heart and soul can get behind! Now while my particular job sometimes kills my soul. And in those moments I have to remind myself that what I do matters even though I'm not directly doing what makes my heart come alive which is reaching young people for Jesus. But what I do helps make it possible for others to do that. It matters.
And not only do I have a job but I have job that is letting me take all my vacation days at once to go to Africa. I have a job that encourages health and gives us several hundred dollars a year to help us pursue healthier lifestyles. Not only that but I work for a company that has the most amazing health insurance I have ever come across in my life. And every four years I get a paid vacation to Florida for an all staff conference which just happens to be this January with Frances Chan as a keynote speaker.
Yup, I am beyond blessed in this area. Beyond blessed.
