Learning to Trust

So I suppose 'everyday' has now turned into 'once a week' or so?

God is good. He's been giving me joy. I've been having trouble at work and it's been hard to trust him...Sometimes it feels like he doesn't see what's going on, but I know he does. It's hard when I feel like I'm trying my best to be the perfect employee and still, I don't get treated the same as the other girls. It feels like they're thought of as better than me....:( It could all be my imagination but it's hard to remember that God knows what He's doing. So *sigh* I need to trust him.

 This is what we read today. Psalm 101.  These are my favorites from it. 

vs 1: 1 I will sing of your love and justice, Lord.
      I will praise you with songs." (I love verses about singing because they could be my new tattoo)

vs 2 through 4:  2 I will be careful to live a blameless life—
      when will you come to help me?
   I will lead a life of integrity
      in my own home.
 3 I will refuse to look at
      anything vile and vulgar.
   I hate all who deal crookedly;
      I will have nothing to do with them.
 4 I will reject perverse ideas
      and stay away from every evil."

This really reminded me that I need to be careful what I watch. Also, I need to live a life of integrity even when no one sees, and even when no one rewards me for it. I trust that God will reward me and that he sees what I do, but it's hard to always do my best at work, to be super honest, to be really friendly, to try REALLY hard, and still feel like no one notices. So...lead a life of integrity, Rach. It's about God and you, not your silly boss. :/

Lord, help me trust you today. Help me reject the bitterness that's been trying to take root in my heart. Help me reflect you, help me trust you, and place me exactly where you want me to be, Lord. Whether that's at T Perk or not. Help me trust you, help me have joy, help me walk with you and grow and heal and learn. I love you. In Jesus' precious name, Amen.
