What Do You Do?

What do you do when your boss shows a total lack of regard for you and your coworkers? When she pounds on tables & yells at her employees, otherwise known as the support group that makes her look at least half-way decent? What do you do when your boss expects you to write the date one thousand two hundred and ninety six times, assemble packets of information for every classroom and parent, type & make copies of a letter, and get it all out in a day - along with your regular duties and answering the dadblasted telephone??

You pray. You pray that you get the job for which you interviewed. You pray that God will extend His grace yet again so that you will be able to walk through the situation without committing sin. (I pray a lot about that!!) You pray for your coworkers and friends that the same will take place with them. At least, that is what I do.

And what do you do when you've done all you can do? When you know you can never give UP but have to resign yourself to giving IN. And not necessarily giving in to the situation, but giving in to what you know is right and giving in to God, which includes learning the real meaning behind the Scripture "be anxious for nothing." What do you do when there is nothing left TO do?

You hope to God that while you keep your silence, His truth will eventually shine through. You hope to God that the right things will happen, that nothing else horrible will take place, and that somehow...somehow...you can live with the hole in your heart that is getting bigger by the day. At least, that's what I do.
