So it's sunny and supposed to get up near 40s this weekend. The snow is melting and we are beginning to see bare ground in places. Yay!!! Bring on Spring!
The Olympics start tonight and I'm excited. I love the Olympics. During the last Winter Olympics I got hooked on curling. So fun to watch. Then for Christmas, my nephew Seth, got the Winter Olympics for the Wii and I tried curling on that...I'm no good! It takes talent and I don't have it. Still fun. I am excited to enjoy the Olympic Games. It does my heart well to see so many athletes from all over the world come together. There's something about the Olympic spirit...it seems to make the world feel just a little bit closer!
There have been some big changes at work, but we're still open. I fell a bit more thankful that I have a job then I used to. We've closed 2 programs in the last 2 years and have taken some big steps to save others. The program I work at has been joined with another program so there is only one program director now. It makes me sad that 2 good men had to loose their jobs so I could keep mine. To them I say thank you! I've never loved change, but I am getting more used to it and am often reminding myself that I can choose joy. The changes have taken there toll on many of us. I know that I worry a little more then I used to about the job security. The thing I worry most about is the kids we serve. Where will they go? What will happen to them? I am angered by the injustice of the situation. I am angry that people are losing their jobs. I am angry that kids are put at risk. I pray that the State of Maine will make decisions based on what is right, not based on the bottom line. There are absolutely cuts that need to be made on the state level, but these are not the right cuts. I try to commit my worries to God and let Him do His job. He is God after all!!!
Life is busy and crazy at times, but God is good all the time so I rest in that truth!
