Another Monday

What I Was Thinking ... was that I need to remind myself more often that "This is the day that the Lord hath made, I will rejoice and be glad in it!" Just got back from revival service tonight and I was reminded of where I came from and that I have a God who loves me enough to save me ... save Tammi for all her sins. Isn't THAT enough to rejoice in? I should think so! It was just a rough day today. Work was extremely busy ~ so much to do and not enough time in the day to complete everything that had to be done. One of my attorneys is in a big trial and the courtroom was dark today so he was in the office. One e-mail after the other, "Tammi, we need to get this letter out right away.", "Tammi, have you set up the expert meeting I need?", "Tammi, I need to get this examination typed out.", "Tammi, I need to have the CHP officers on the stand on October 2." The e-mails went on and on. Okay, okay, okay .... I finally e-mailed him back ... I need to know the priorities, please! He's really a great attorney to work for; he's funny and he knows how much I have to get done during the day (he's not my only attorney, I have one more I work for!). I walked into his office and he said he was getting ready to toss a coin in order to answer my e-mail I sent him about the priorities. See, everything needs to be done. I am truly trying my hardest not to be stressed. I have to learn to find the peace of God during the day. I need to have my moment during the day when I can just rejoice in the day that God made for me. I am really going to work on that this week. I'm truly not complaining about my job; sincerely, I love my job, I love the excitement, I love the satisfaction it brings and I love the challenge. This weekend Kelsi got to come home with her boyfriend (pictured) and we were able to spend time together. We saw Wicked on Friday and went shopping on Saturday, then church on Sunday. I think because I was able to spend this past weekend with Kelsi and then having to say good-bye to her made it harder for me to deal with another Monday. Now after writing all of this down, I'm thinking the stress of my day was not my job, it was the sadness I felt not having my children around me .... that's what I now realize I was thinking.
