Seeing Past the Mist


Today was a day of challenges: I think every customer that called L.L. Bean's had gotten their credit card statement/fainted or was sick or had been dipped in hot tar and rolled in feathers. They were mean! God gave me the fruit of the spirit though...for after a deep, deep breath in between calls, I had a chipper voice for my next customer. I even felt chipper for the next caller.

My neck/throat is in pain as well. I won't bore you with the details but it hurts to eat and to talk. (OK, I know y'all want to make a wisecrack but resist) In the slightly less amount of time I have speant talking today (nothing shuts me up 100%!) I have heard His voice, soothing me, chasing away the anger enemy.

I am amazed by what I have felt today with just the tiniest amount of effort on my part.
I can only imagine when I give more to Him what wonders He will show me....
