Yet true godliness with contentment is itself great wealth.

Attitude Adjustment

Last night during a bible study with Cindy & Kathy on the 4th chapter of Philippians I was challenged. I mentioned a hard time I was having at work with a regional consultant, Jeri, who seems to just not like me. Jeri has never liked me and undermines me whenever there is a chance. This has both hurt and frusterated me in times past since her position should be one of support and assistance instead of problems. I mentioned that I was praying for her but they both encouraged me to pray for myself. They both shared about problem people they had known in the past and how God had changed their own hearts toward those people.

So I've started doing that.

I've also been praying and praying about my attitude toward my work. It's been so hard lately. I've prayed that I would do a good job and be positive.

I find that God is changing my attitude. My work hasn't changed, the challenges are still there, but I don't feel as underneath it all. I'm choosing to focus on the positive aspects and just deal with the negative. I'm choosing to see and enjoy the humor that's always around. I'm experiencing more joy each day in my work.
