"But now, Lord, what do I look for? My hope is in you." -Psalm 39:7
I usually don't complain about work on here. In fact, I don't think that I have ever complained about work on this blog until now. I thought that before I eat dinner, I would complain. Complain about work today. One of the Techs called off today and I was left by myself. Usually I can handle it, but not today. Everyone (meaning the customers) were mad, annoyed, or both at me and there was nothing that I can do about it. All I can do is put a smile on my face and apologize for the inconvenience. This isn't the first time that this Tech has called out when this particular Pharmacist was working. Usually, I can just bear and grin it, but not today. I was annoyed let alone ticked. God was really working overtime with me just to keep me from going on the edge.
"Know also that wisdom is sweet to your soul; if you find it, there is a future hope for you, and your hope will not be cut off." -Psalm 24:14 It's funny on just when you think that no one is on your side, God will always be on your side and be there just when you need Him the most. Sam (the Pharmacist) was reading his Bible and was reading scripture and out of no where, I felt healed. It felt great to be healed and from that moment on, I knew that I can handle the mean, impatient, rude, and unjust customers. He was reading so many that I couldn't keep up with him, but some verses stuck in my head. Here's one of them: "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is life not more important than food and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life." -Matthew 6:25-27 And here's the most important one of all: "So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." -Matthew 6:34 I am so glad that God brought Sam to work with me today. He (Sam) made the day that we had turn from bad to wonderful! And all it took was him reading scripture. People were shocked that I didn't go off or just snap. All I could say is patience is a virtue after all isn't it? And they (the customers) just smiled. God has really showed me what patience is and for that, I am truly thankful that I have Him by my side now and always. Granted, I somewhat did have help (Sandy helped me as much as she could) and Sam did his very best to help me fill some prescriptions while I was on lunch or helping other customers out. So today wasn't a total bummer after all.
As I am typing this, I am listening to Dave Koz. It's amazing on just listening to Jazz music can just relax me and make me feel better after a long day of work. Tomorrow, Sean and I are the only ones working so it shouldn't be that bad. Notice I said shouldn't. Maybe he can help me put the drugs away while I take care of the customers or maybe Sandy can help me some more. I hope so anyways. Joe (the old Pharmacist) called today to see how everything is going and personally, I wish he didn't. It only made it worse because when I complained about not having any help, he just laughed and said that everything will be OK. Did I just say that he made it worse? Actually, as I really think about it, he made it better. He kept my spirits up and that was what I needed. Not to mention that he made me laugh too and no one can do that better than Joe.
On a different note (funny, I really didn't complain about work now did I?), I just got informed that I will be full-time instead of part-time! I am thrilled and I am looking forward to be getting more hours. I even told the assistant manager that I want a set schedule and he couldn't agree with me more. Things are now beginning to look up and all it took was Sam reading scripture! Amazing I tell ya amazing!! Oh and also, James and I maybe make that we are moving next summer to Odessa. He wants us to live in a house (well, a trailer of some sorts) and see what God can bring us out there. At first, I wasn't really into it, but now I know that I am ready for the challenge. With God and James by my side, anything and I do mean anything is possible. I also called the Pharmacy Manager over at the Wal*Mart over there and asked her to let me know if there will be any openings come up in the summer and of course she will. I guess I am done. I have one more verse and it couldn't be anymore fitting to close this: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek His will in all you do, and He will show you which path to take." -Proverbs 3:5-6
Have an awesome night everyone and God Bless!
