One of those days

Wow... one of those days I guess.

So today everyone was really tense at work today... or at least it seemed like everyone was a but tense today (including me). I guess it was one of those weird days where everyone seems to be mad or acting strange. From the people at work to my kids at home everyone was pretty grumpy today. I was frustrated about job stuff today, just really wondering where God wants me to be and what he wants me doing... One thing I did realize was that God will use me wherever I am. I've been trying to follow God's leading more at work lately and in the last 2 days I've gotten to pray for 2 different people.

It has been cool. I just have felt, God saying "pray for them" and I find myself thinking, "Do I have to? Right here?" But I have been trying to do it. I got to pray for one guys back that has been hurting him really bad and today I asked if I could pray for a guy (who is 21) who caught his wife cheating on him and is getting a divorce. He is kind of a different guy but he is really nice and really open. He is hurting a lot and just wanted to talk to anyone and everyone that would listen to him. So I listen and then was walking out of the store and felt like I should go back in and pray with him. Now beside working with this guy a little bit, I have felt a connection because he and his wife had a baby girl a day before Catie and I (and they were in the hospital at the same time we were).... so there is a connection there.

But man does that ever suck. It just broke my heart to see him.... filled with emotion... fighting back tears with anger. Cursing her and in the same breath saying how much he loves her and is hurt by her.... I even felt like crying... my heart just breaks for that situation... him, her, their daughter...... God just be present in that situation. Bring wisdom to him and clarity her to see what she is doing.

So yeah, it was a stressful day. I was glad to pray with the guy but would have rather prayed under different circumstances..... wow......

But on a brighter note Catie didn't go into work until later and she and I got to drive up to Grand Haven and drove along the Lakeshore on the way home (which was really pretty).

And now there are people outside digging up all of my pipes and so I will have no water today.

Oh, boy...
