😎🐫🎤 Christ’s peace and presence be with you. I have come to enjoy having a telework job, but one of the down sides to teleworking is the lack of socialization with teammates. It was a lot easier to walk by someone’s office in person and say “Hi”. Granted, it is an interruption to someone’s day either way, but it feels like even more an interruption when you think about calling them just to chat, instead of discussing work. With the extent of my workload and the feeling of guilt for interrupting someone’s work day, I just don’t call teammates to chat.
With that being said, last Friday I was having a work discussion with a teammate, that diverted into a personal discussion. Recently we had some personnel shifts, facility shifts, and teammate changes. Learning your teammates workstyle, taking on a backlog of work, and having to learn new facilities, systems, and processes all at once can be extremely overwhelming and leave you questioning if this is what you really want to do and where you should be. As my teammate and I discussed work items and some items not related to work she had the realization and now understood why she had to experience this change within our team. As she said…”God is in it.” That was really cool, being able to share that God moment with my teammate.
Being able to see and know that God is in those moments and struggles with you, is huge. Actually, it makes those moments and challenges seem to be not so much of a struggle and brings a certain degree of peace, which allows you to more clearly and confidently make decisions about your future.
Later that day, I found out that some friends of mine were in a pretty serious car accident on their 50th wedding anniversary. Wow! What a crazy, unexpected, and I imagine, unwanted way to share an anniversary. Although their car is totaled and they are both pretty banged up, they were able to see the blessings and experience their Guardian Angels riding with them. Again, what a blessing, that in midst of their struggles and challenges, they were able to feel and know God’s presence in that moment.
God is in every moment of your life. It’s up to you to choose to see, experience, and acknowledge His presence. The next time you speak with God, consider saying a prayer for my teammate and friends. As you read this, although I may not know your name or situation, please know that I just said a prayer for you, that you will experience a God moment that will bring you clarity and peace.
Bless others and be blessed.
