Yikes I am Overwhelmed!!
Monday, April 02, 2007
Whew, have you ever had one of those weeks and then you have decisions you have to make on top of that week? That is how my week is going. I am working 7pm to 7am and then I have been getting called in early.
I also was told I would be going to days in about 8 weeks so I will be working from 7am to 7pm. The only problem is I love my supervisor. He is a Christian and is very much of a people person and this is the first time I have had such a wonderful working environment at work. I am blessed to have wonderful officers to work with and Dispatch and Jail personel.
So now I have waited forever and a day to get to go on Day shift, but I know it is not going to be anything like what I have now. So I am torn. What do I do? Do I give up Days and stay on my shift, or do I give it a shot. I am praying and asking God to help me make the right decision. Who would have thought I would be in this dilemna since I have wanted days for three years???

Isn't life just funny?!?!?! There are things we desire, pray for, long for, and God, in His awesome way, teaches us to Wait...then we wait, and we learn to love and enjoy (be content) in the 'state' we are in! Then what happens?-- that for which we waited, for so long, now is at our reach and we wonder if it is what we really want after all?!?! I can sooo relate! And with that said, even as I write, know that I am praying and agreeing with you, that God would give you HIS wisdom in this decision! I am sure, whatever shift you are on, you will be a blessing to many! God will continue use you as HIS beacon of love! God Bless!!!
Dana, in answer to your questions yes and yes, those weeks happen to all of us. Hang in there. Some times it is hard to know which way to turn, but I know God has the answer that is right for you and he will give you peace in the way he wants you to go. I'll be praying.
Dana, I think you will be just great whichever shift you choose and God will continue to bless you ! I would try out the day shift and you will know , but you probably could return to night shift if you were not satisfied ! Blessings . Ron.
Yeah, I have not written, I plan on writing either today or tomorrow.....I have not been online much as it has been a very busy week. How are you doing?
I've been in similiar situations - sometimes I think I JUST HAVE TO have something - time passes and I no longer want it after all. I will say that working with someone such as your supervisor is worth all the tea in China. I only continue to work because my manager is a Christian and a wonderful person. She makes coming to work a pleasure.
Please keep me in prayer - my mom's situation continues to unravel as does my sanity at times.
Dana, I whole-heartedly agree with Amy in everything she said. I will remember you in my prayers as well.
God's Grace.
Only God can guide you on this one. I experienced this on another level. I actually enjoy my job and the people I work with, but I don't get paid well and I know I can do much more (as far as work goes). I, too, am torn, but when the right position comes along, I know I will have a peace about it. I can't stay at my job because of the people because they, too, will move on. I'm praying for you, Dana. May you find peace and enjoyment in whatever decision you make.
