Ok, so it started out as a noteworthy goal. From the beginning, I did great. I kept it up for most of the month of May and thought I had formed a nice habit and daily pattern. I was getting comfortable with talking to you and sharing what I felt might bore many others. It felt good to come home each night and type out my thoughts, knowing that somewhere out there you were thinking of me and also praying we'd find each other soon.
Now, a full month later, I realize I allowed life to get in the way.
It's been a crazy month too. God is awesome though. He gave me a double portion of His strength and endurance. I know better than to pray for patience, so I didn't. When things got rough, I asked the Holy Spirit to speak on my behalf so I wouldn't get short with someone.
Now, I'm back at work again tomorrow facing a backlog of about 50 boxes after a 93-box Christmas shipment and the final product/publisher returns of the year. Thankfully, I'll have help this week to clear out the back room and get caught up again.
Oh! And we have a manager now too. She's fantastic, and already I feel a difference in the store. It's great to have a team leader who is spiritually devoted and is all about putting our staff "family" first. We'll get into our groove, hire our 10 new staff members for Christmas and be on a roll.
And once the decision is made about the Senior Sales position (which I pray I get) I will be well-placed in the company to transfer anywhere in the country. In the event that I have to pack up and move to be with you, the provision will be in place.
Keep praying. I will continue to do the same. God has a great purpose for us both. It's only a matter of time, and I feel in my heart it won't be much longer.
