You ever have those days when you wish you could float AWAY from your job to somewhere far away? Like Narnia! Why can't there be a place like that in this world? Why is it, when you're having a tough week, THOSE are the weeks your boss chooses to nit pick at EVERYTHING you do. Innocent mistakes, or mistakes that don't even exist and yet there they are picking at your wound. How can the honeymoon period end so quickly? And how can the minor issues in another employee's life be respected when there are some who's grandfather is battling cancer. And to top that off with a nice red cherry, the employee who receives leeway and sympathy? Also watches T-V while on shift, all day, every day.
I know Jeremiah asks the LORD, "Why does the way of the wicked prosper? Why do all the faithless live at ease?" And this I have to question myself. Is it because we're called to a higher standard? Or it is because we are to learn that OUR rewards are what we build HERE...on Earth...So, if we are wicked, then we have built NOTHING in the Kingdom of Heaven and we will travel to our eternal reward with empty hands. So how can our Father say, "well done, good and faithful servant"?
It's hard to accept that, THIS is how it is. That life is a learning process. And even for those who LOVE to learn, it can be difficult. It's still frustrating...and watching other people win when they achieve nothing is painful...so what's the purpose? Why this job? And why now?
