A week in to a new year, with a new outlook. As I thought, this has not been an easy start to make, but I feel better already. It's difficult to remain positive and thankful in the line of work that I'm in (service and hospitality), as there are inevitably those you come across who make it their mission to make life as awkward as possible for you. This is, I think, where my growing faith will prove to be a help. Knowing that there is a path for me to walk, with obstacles along the way that must be negotiated, makes the tough stuff more manageable, and the good stuff really great. Whenever I've found myself thinking these negative thoughts, I've heard a voice reminding me that I have much to be thankful for, and not to dwell on the negatives. Whether this is God's voice I'm hearing, or whether these reminders are being developed by my own mind I don't know at this stage. I am comforted knowing that I'm in the right place, allowing myself to be guided and supported by the Lord.
For that I am truly thankful.
For that I am truly thankful.
