You had a bad day...

You all know the song, right? "You had a bad day, You're taking one down, You sing a sad song just to turn it around..." That sums up my last 3 days at work. BAD. I'm in the midst of another huge work project, and things are really hard. My comment that I can't travel to Greenville, SC on Sept 20th (my 1st anniversary, and a Sunday) for training in our Greenville, SC office... turned into "Andrea is unwilling to train"--said by someone in a meeting where I couldn't defend myself.

I was totally crushed... and then I got angry.

I have totally poured myself and my energy into this job. And it hurts when you are betrayed by someone you thought would be on your team.

Then it turns out those that sit around me are upset over what they've heard over the past couple days. I'll be honest, some of it hasn't been pretty (but not about them). Trying to tell a good friend how awful it is to cry at your staff meeting isn't not the easiest thing to do. And perhaps I should have gone home, or gone into a conference room. But I just needed to vent. And when I vent, most of the time I'm not too quiet about it.

So, I've cried the last 3 hours. And Isaac has been such a friend to comfort me during these tears. I know I need to do something different. But goodness, I wish it didn't have to be this hard.

Please pray for me--for wisdom, and healing, and forgiveness, and reconciliation... and just to feel not attacked anymore. I am trying to look for how God might be working in this situation. Surely he is there... I just need to trust he has something to say to me. And then be obedient to whatever that is.

Thanks friends.
