...when things aren't easy...

Over the past couple of weeks I have been really turning to friends, my husband, my pastor and God for a lot of reassurance, pep talks and prayer time.  There is always the same theme: making it through the day.

• "You've go this."
• "It's going to get better."
• "Dear God, please just help me make it through the day."  (ok, there is a little more to that one, but I am NOT a public prayer.  Unless you are 3, or one of my kids, you will never hear the utterance of a REAL prayer come out of my mouth.)
• "Read these verses"

I know that no ones job is easy.  And I am not going to get in to any specifics... but dang, my job is giving me a run for my money.  I am emotionally drained, physically tense, and pretty much just  at a point where I am having to do some serious soul searching to figure out where I am or need to be in my career.

So, reality check.  Is anything easy?  I mean, really?  Because doesn't EVERYONE have their own thing going on?

Yeah, I'm struggling at work.  But..

• I have a warm home to sleep in.
• There is always food to eat.
• I have an AMAZING little family of 4.
• Everyone in my family is healthy.
• I have a job that pays the bills.
• Dave has a job that pays the bills.
• Our girls are smart.
• Our girls well behaved and have great manners.
• I don't have to worry about how to pay for Christmas presents.
• I grew up not knowing what divorce felt like.
• I have never been beaten or abused.
• I have a husband that buys me things I would never buy for myself.
• I have true friends that love me and that I know I can count on for just about anything.

This is just a small list.  And ALL of these things are so much more important than any obstacles I am facing in my professional life.  :)
