On Jobs and Current Events in my life

I have learned more about people now with my job than I ever have before. Of course, with my previous job I learned a lot, especially about employer/employee relationships and problems, but I am discovering a whole world of good relationship techniques, and reasons relationship difficulties and problems. It's very interesting working with people. I really love it, and I enjoy being around people a lot. I thought it would be emotionally draining and make me depressed a lot. But I have been soberly learning a wonderful truth; God gives me strenght as I need it. I am learning that my strength doesn't ever match up to the level of strength that is needed, but I rejoice to say that when my heart is heavy and I am overwhelmed with life difficulties and problems, He always sends cheer my way. And I somehow am also given the strength to send cheer other people's way, in return. "Always remember, Joelle, you're a daughter of the King. You're a princess, and your Father loves you so, so much. I cannot stress that enough, how much God loves you." And people pray for me. I have been so extraordinarily blessed... I can't explain it all. Doesn't mean I feel the best all the time, or that I don't get depressed. No... Far from that. I do, still. I get very sad. I wonder how to get on. I see no light at the end of my tunnel. Then I remember, Ah, Joelle, you're focus is wrong. Joy doesn't come from a changed circumstance, but from a changed heart. Love doesn't come from a lack of disagreement, but from a commitment and the choice to love. Peace doesn't come from a calm surrounding, but from a sense of God's presence in the storm. Oh, I really am still learning. I don't think I will ever have learned all of what I should. Well, this was supposed to be a post about my job. And I guess I'm changing it into an all around current-thoughts post. About work, though, I have a great number of wonderful coworkers. I love the ladies I work with, and the one guy I work with is a great guy. It is very interesting to try to understand and observe the different temperaments and personalities my coworkers have. Each of them are different. It's sad to see how some of them disagree and don't like each other as much because of their differences, or just misunderstandings. I found it interesting to note how this one girl I work with really doesn't like to have people telling her what to do all the time, but that she often will do the same things as the older lady she complains about. For example, she got very frustrated at Sh____ for taking over in a situation she was in, but she will often take over or intrude into my work if she thinks I'm not doing it right. I started to get annoyed today, I admit, but then I realized that it wasn't big deal, and that just as I realized that its pride that makes A____ not like Sh___ to tell her what to do, its pride for me to get offended if A____ is a little bossy. It's interesting, too, to see how the two younger girls I work with, A___ and S___, don't like Sh___. I can see how they get offended at her. She is a somewhat difficult personality to get along with. But as I realized before, its only pride that keeps us (cause even I once in a while feel annoyed at Sh___ for certain things) from appreciating Sh___ for who she is. I admit I have annoying sides to me. I only hope that I am willing to change as I learn of my faults. I really don't know if that all makes any sense. I'm tired today! I only got five hours of sleep last night. Well, there are other things for me to do. A post is coming up, one for my car I got (because I did get a car) and one for Thanksgiving. :)
