Never fails. I’ve come to expect it. Like clockwork.
I’m speaking of when my boss is out, anything that can go wrong, does.
It’s not that my coworkers and I cannot handle running the “ship” in his absence, but random occurrences happen that would not otherwise.
Last week I endured one of those dreaded days. I am never rarely late but this day I just so happened to leave my work keys at home. Perfect. Had to turn around and get them to open up the office.
10 minutes late. Not very late but enough to stress me out.
This started a chain reaction of unfortunate events that continued throughout the day.
One guy called in sick (now two people down since the boss was off of course). Another person was extremely late due to traffic. Plus, to top it off, one worker was “relieved of his duties” (aka FIRED).
All in all, one hectic day!
May seem crazy but God used this day to teach me. I am the type who learns better through experiences. I ask God for patience, strength, wisdom, and leadership skills and I believe these days help develop all of those qualities.
It reminds me of how David learned to be a great king through dealing with Saul’s spears and Absolom’s rebellion (my situation is certainly not as dire).
Reflecting back on a day like this gives me perspective on how God is transforming and molding me for the better.
I wonder if I will ever be as good as David at avoided spears?
