Thank God for…Overtime???
Work has been very busy lately, which usually means really long hours. I was was very much hoping to avoid overtime tonight, but alas, I was trapped!
It wasn’t so bad after all, as I finished at 7:30 p.m. I was certain I wouldn’t get out before 8 p.m. On my way out the door, waiting for the elevator, the cleaning lady happened to pass by. She’s really “cute”, very petite woman, which put me at ease! I reached down my purse, handed her a tract and explained to her that it was concerning Jesus Christ. Maybe the Lord wanted me to stay working late so that she could receive His Word and I thank Him for that open door.
I was very happy on my way back home and my frown did turn upside down!

It is wonderful that you make use of the opportunities that come to you.

I don't always, sometimes I shy away. But when I don't, it's a great feeling afterwards.

I always liked working overtime because it meant more money in my paycheck. I never complain about that!

I usually don't mind it. It can be fun, we order supper (the firm pays for it), and if you stay past 8pm, they pay you a cab back home.
But Monday was just one of those days that I REALLY didn't feel like having to stay. Guess the Lord had a good reason for me to.

I think that's great, I know that I have been struggling with tiredness from work a lot lately. Hearing your story reminds me that I should not let tiredness crowd out opportunities for sharing! :)

I know you've been working a lot lately, Shieryl, but I'm a firm believer that hard work is always rewarding!
