Have you ever had one of those days when a sense of purpose and accomplishment washes over you? I feel that today.

I finally feel like I can see that my “work work” is making a positive difference.
It seems most days that I push through inexperience, changes, challenge and frustration only to get a D- or Failing Grade. But today I have this awareness that my “work work” grade is improving. Perhaps I am finally gaining some knowledge. Perhaps I have accepted a new role that is better suited to my strengths. Perhaps it is a bit of both. I will tell you this; it is a great feeling. I pray that God will continue to move me and grow me and use me. I pray that the work of my hands in my “work work” speaks of the Love, Goodness, Justice, and Mercy of God. I pray that the light of God shines through me, and that God will continue to bless the work of ALL of our hands and that He strengthens our faith and our unity.

Days like today are scattered among many struggle and “fight for it” days. I record this, to be a reminder and encouragement to myself and others when we are in the days of challenge.
