Heading home tomorrow….

It’s Thursday night and the week has actually gone by pretty fast. Tuesday found me more comfortable in my environment and excited about my plans for after work. I met my mom, brother and sister-in-law for dinner. I even got to see my nephew, who is walking now. At the office I ran into a couple of ladies who I haven’t seen in years. They’re retired but were called back to work the strike. It was nice to see them and catch up on life. I also was able to have lunch today with a friend I used to work with. It’s so amazing how God provided friends at a time when I felt alone. The lady training us is from Texas, and quite a character. From day one, she spoke of God and prayed out loud (jokingly at times) but I knew she was a believer. In the mornings before we got started training, she and I would talk and came to know a lot about one another. I even found out that she’s Presbyterian.

Rumors are running rampant about the strike. Quite frankly, I’m tired of hearing about it. But at the same time it consumes my mind. I feel more optimistic today. I’m trying my best to trust in God. I don’t know why I fight it so often but I do.

Today when I left the office I went by the church that Jason and I got married. It brought back wonderful memories of our wedding day. I miss Jason and the girls like crazy! I can’t wait to see them tomorrow night.

I’m trying to decide if I want to order room service. Last night I ordered an Angus Steak Burger and Molten Chocolate Lava Cake with vanilla bean raspberry ice cream! Mmmmm….doesn’t that sound good?

My verse of the day -
"But blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD,
whose confidence is in him.

Jeremiah 17:7

Trusting in Him,
Anne Marie
