Lows and Highs

After a week off, I came back to work and received what I considered to be a mediocre job evaluation. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't what you want to get when you do all you can to make a difference in your office. It's the kind of thing when you question why you are working so hard; does it really matter; should you do less since you won't get the accolades anyway. That my friends was me with a bad attitude, feeling sorry for myself and wanting my ego stroked.

Hebrews 13:20-21 Now may the God of peace...,make you complete in every good work to do His will, working in you what is well pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen. 

It's not about me, but about what He has placed me here to do. If what I do makes a positive difference for others, then I will be have peace.

My highs this week came from my kids as I celebrated their successes. My daughter was accepted into a charter middle school that specializes in science, technology and art. My son was named Cadet of the Quarter for the local Civil Air Patrol Cadet Squadron. It's not hard to see that my job is something to do, not who I am.
