I guess I’ll just be weird forever!
Well today my day started out being in a rush. I had over slept an hour, which made me an hour and a half late for work. Not good!
I fell asleep last night talking with Jesus on the day’s events and on some things I had on my mind about my job.
I’m torn between taking care of my husband, Dad, and my home, and bringing in the eggs that goes with the bacon to help with the bills. My husband is disabled, and hasn’t worked since October 2003.
He gets a disability check, which is a blessing, but it’s not quite enough. So I finally landed me a job at a local retirement home, (not a nursing home).
These people are able to do for their selves; they just need a little help sometimes. I like working there, I like my co - workers, and the residents. I find myself praying for all them too.
Before I started to work I talked with Jesus most all the time while I did whatever needed to be done. But now at work I’ve noticed that I don’t have the time to talk to Him as much as before. I really miss that a lot!
I had a resident come up to me a day or so after I started, and ask me why I had my hands raised while I was walking down the hall.
Which until then I hadn’t thought anything about it, I just did it!
I told her I was just praising God, which I do every chance I get, even without thinking!
She looked at me funny, shook her head and walked away.
I felt so odd after that and in a way hurt. Why do people do that I wonder?
Is it strange for mainstream or whatever you call them to worship openly, or to praise God spontaneously? Am I weird or something?
Isn't it natural for us to praise and worship the Lord wherever we are? No matter what time or place we are at the time?
I admit it, until my husband got sick’ I have never had to work outside the home. So I am at odds with “the public” and what I do naturally without even thinking! It’s kind of like my praise meter is on automatic pilot or something. It just goes off without warning!
I like that! I feel comfortable letting it just flow out whenever it wants to. And I don’t intend to try to control it.
I guess I’ll just be weird forever!
