Hello blog... Really haven't had much time to update. Work has been tough. Not that I've got lotsa things to do but I just can't seem to get it done. Web design is difficult if you're not a designer! haha... Came across an article in an emailer... It really spoke to me. Here's an excerpt.

Anything can be tedious and tiresome—whether you're a data-entry assistant, a night watchman, a pastor, a professional baseball player, or the one in the big purple dinosaur suit who works kids' parties. The secret is not found in beating the competition and landing the perfect job (not that you shouldn't strive for personal excellence and satisfaction). The secret is found in Philippians 4:12: "I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want."

Work will always be work over time, but we can find joy and contentment in work if we rest in the knowledge that we are serving God with the unique gifts he has granted each of us.

Amen to that!!! Its always good to have someone other then yourself write about something that is similar to what you're feeling... Then you start to know that you're not alone in this seemingly senseless struggle...

Didn't go for work on Tuesday and Wednesday. Was quite sick. Took 2 days MC... It was a welcome break. A part of me feels that I fell sick because I wanted to... Its kinda complicated. Well, gotta go eat supper now. Goodnight!
