Help Me Find My Way
I never knew from day to day what I might need to do at The Construction Company. And I liked that! My boss needed to attend the funeral of a family friend this week. She asked me to babysit for her and I said “Sure!”
After I worked three hours at the church, I went to my bosses’ house to babysit her five year old grandson, Evan, and her one year old granddaughter, Abbey…and her ninety-one year old mother was has dementia!!
At first we made a tent for Evan with a blanket, some chairs and pillows. Then Abbey wanted to join him in the tent. He didn’t want her in his tent…go figure! So I made another tent for Abbey that she didn’t even care about. Evan decided that he wanted to take over the new tent
When Abbey started getting sleepy, I changed her diaper, put some more milk in her sippy cup and let “Other Mimi” hold her for a few minutes and she was fine. She was fighting sleep, just like I am doing right now…zzzz
I took lots and lots of pictures, played in the floor with them and was on my feet most of the time. I enjoyed staying with them, but when my boss came back after two hours, it was time for me to go to work at The Construction Company for two hours more hours. I had fun but I knew it was going to be hard for me to do now that I have Interstitial Cystitis IC), Fibromyalgia Pelvic Floor Dynsfunction, ect., ect.
When I came home I rested. Then I went to church for Discipleship training for almost two hours. I was stretched way beyond the maximum for my poor old, tired, IC body. But I enjoyed every minute of it!
My job at The Construction Company ended on Friday. I enjoyed working there, I met some great people, learned some new things and made decent money. The reason for my departure was payroll cut backs. I was not the only person affected by the cuts and I wish everyone there all the best. It was good while it lasted! Now I must move on…
I know that when God closes one door He will open another one. He guide me to the next phase in my life. The Lord is my Strength and My Shield and I will Trust Him to be by my side. I will trust Him to help me find my way!!
