Bloom Where You Are Planted


It's been a while since my last entry... I have recently just gone through lots of turmoils at work being the sole evaluating therapist in my discipline and having to go to three facilities. I had been griping, which I couldn't really help. I'd been so stressed out having to race against time, trying to finish and accomplish everything which utterly had been a futile attempt. But then a realization hit me... I've been focusing on me instead of God. I realized that the pressures of my work are far too much for one person to do since it originally was done by three people. Pride, probably. If I can't finish things on time, it's mainly because there is a lack of manpower. I should just do what I can do to the best of my abilities, doing everything as to the Lord, and not unto men (as the apostle Paul puts it in Colossians 3:23.) I have been reminding myself to "...do all things without murmuring and disputing... (Philippians 2:14)." I pray for joy and peace as I do my duties/responsibilities willingly and whole-heartedly that I may please my God. May the Lord allow me to bloom where He has planted me.
