So oddly, I didn't greatly dislike my boss today. Not sure exactly why. She was still annoying. I think I saw something different about her today though. I mean, she's one of those Christians who's super involved and sort of flaunts it. That drives me insane. I think I used to be like that. She still was like that today.
BUT, I saw something different today. There are a couple of different people who come into the library often who have some really hard things going on. You can tell that they just want someone, anyone to listen to them. And J*** actually listens to them. Not for just a little while either. The one woman had to have been talking for like 45 minutes and I know J*** had somewhere to be, but she stayed and listened to this poor lonely woman the entire time and actually gave her some really decent advice.
I might not like my boss a lot of the time, but I do appreciate her heart for broken people. She really is a very compassionate person. I guess I didn't really see that until today.
She and I also had a pretty lengthy conversation about harp & bowl today too. She is now singing on a worship team at her church (which is one of the things she likes to flaunt, grr :-p) and today her voice was sooo tired from singing so much last night and now her church is on a new schedule, so she's so much more involved, yada yada. Anyway, she asked me if I'd ever heard of prophetic worship, so I told her about Houghton, Hungry, One Thing, KC, etc. I didn't tell her, but I think I might want to check her church out...at least go to one of their prophetic worship (harp & bowl) meetings. It's only 1/2 hour away (as opposed to Bethel, which is an hour from me). I've been craving that atmosphere though, so maybe I'll go...at least once.
All that to say, my boss is still annoying, but she's also a very kind and compassionate person...and today I didn't dislike her...SO MUCH. ;o)
In other news, I need to be GONE like 1/2 hour ago, but I'm not. I'm headed to hang out at Stacey's in Hamlin tonight, and then tomorrow to Henrietta for Bee's shower. Then, I'll head back to Hamlin to hang out w/my friends at Stacey's tomorrow night. Then Sunday I'm soloing for the early service, then after church we have rehearsal for a couple of hours, and then a concert at 4:00.
I started back up doing the progressive challenges this week on the Creating Keepsakes message board! It's been a few months. I get kind of frustrated w/these challenges sometimes because there are so many parameters and I feel like I'm so restricted. I think I like how my page turned out this week though:
Anyway, I really need to get going, so happy evening to all. I know that there's more I was going to write, but then I got distracted by the bathroom, feeding the cats, and my brother. Oh well!
