A Working Stiff

Over the past month and a half I've been working at Andrukow Group Solutions Incorporated Camrose. To say that it has been challenging would be an understatement. None of my co-workers are Christians and that has both been a bad and a good thing. It sucks not having any brothers or sisters around for large parts of my day, as opposed to PRBI where they were everywhere, even when I was at the firehall. However, it has been an opportunity to be a light in that dark workplace. 1 Peter 2:11-12 has guided my steps throughout this season. In addition, for a while I was working 12-14 hour days as a matter of course. In one 14 day period I worked 167 hours. As a result, I've found that the human body just cannot take that kind of abuse for very long. All I would do in a day was my devotions, eat, drive, sleep and work. Since then we have reverted to more godly office hours and I've been able to get back to living, not just surviving. Today I practiced all three of my instruments (piano, guitar and drums) and am planning on starting some required reading assignments from the school for summer break. But maybe, just maybe, I'll go shoot an annoying magpie or two first. It's good to be alive again, even if it means that I'm feeling again. More on that next time.
