Being Reassured

          I have an entery that I want to write about rest and that will make more sense with this one but I wanted to write this one first so I wouldn't forget what happened yesterday. Be on the look out for another entery soon!
          Have you ever needed to be reassured that where you are in a moment in life was the right place at the right time? Yesterday, I was and it all happened by little things and moments that made me feel speical and different. Also, like someone else gets me or would get me if they would just give me the chance. I came back from a weekend from my parents' house all rested up and ready to start the week. Who knew a Monday could be filled with reasurrance moments? I came back rested up from the weekend knowing if anything it was going to be a loooooooong Monday and it was but you know little speical moments can help you break up a day when you get 3 or more in one. That is what happened to me.
          First moment, I was looking at some of my friends' Facebook profile and I found a status that said a lot about this friend. I have been feeling like this friend would understand or if not just be there to listen to me if they gave me the chance with their life. That status reassured me that I was right about that. This friend's story and my story plus personailties and passions could not be more the same then they already are. I just got to know a little more about this friend and kind of what they were like has a child and it is strange how our stories match up when I'm feeling like no one would understand me if I really shared the start of my life story but this friend might. Now if only I would get the chance to talk to this friend more then I do now. That would be great! It gave me some hope and to tell me to not give up on it.
           Second, we had a staff meeting at work last night and for the 2nd meeting in a row I got in the drawing for employee of the month but didn't win it. It was nice, though, to know that at least 1 or 2 people were seeing the work that I was doing and it gave me the encouragement to keep doing it. One of these days I will get it! That is not the most important thing though to me if you know me. The most important thing is giving the children what they need and I'm doing that or at least trying to do that even if it is putting my personal life on hold for awhile. Oh! I also got a gift for being there for a year so that was neat too.
            Third, after the staff meeting one of the admin. people came out into the hallway while I was walking some people out and gave me a gift for no reason at all or that is what I would like to think of it as. I know, though, after what this person said that people have been watching me working hard while we were short handed and liked the work I was doing. The person told me that there is still a "Santa" in April but I've noticed that this person was down there a lot looking in and watching me to see how I was handling the children. Inside the card it said, "Thank you for your commint to the preschool".
           I'm not the kind of person who will be all big and up front about what I'm doing so people will notice me. I've never been that kind of person. Most of the time when they tell me I'm doing a good job I just act like it is no big deal but deep down depending on how hard the job is it can be a lot and getting something can mean even more. Sometimes I even complain about people not showing that appicatation for me but God showed me here that they are watching me when I least accpet it and I don't always get what I deserve but I can if I would just humble myself and do it for Him and not for me.
           It is funny how I have been spending more time with God, talking and listening to Him and all this has happened but by no chance is it just out of the blue. God is doing something in my heart and in my future with this. I just have to Trust Him with it. Things will come about when it is time the way God wants it to come about. I will write more about why I think that in the next entery or two. We'll see when I get time and if I can combine two thoughts if not then there will be a random entery and then the one that kind of goes with this one.
