Submitting to the Will of the Lord

So today started off good enough. The alarm went off and I snoozed it for 20 minutes. I have a good car ride into work with no traffic and no crazy drivers. I got to work, still happy. Then I turned on my computer only to find that an absolute meanie of a client sent my assistant an email that totally bashed me. It said that I don't do my job and that I don't care about his case. I wrote a response to him, but then decided to not send it..it was not very nice anyhow. That got the ball rolling for a grumpy mood. Then I get told that I did something wrong on a file by my boss. In actuality, I did not. He told me to do it and so I did. Just set me off. I had to snap the rubber band around my wrist and remain calm. Then the day got better. I had a nice lunch upstairs in the staff kitchen with my cool co-worker Anabel and then came downstairs. Once I got downstairs, I had a message from an insurance adjuster which was not something I wanted to hear. He made an offer on a case and retracted it because he made an error in what his supervisors allowed him to offer....It got heated. I left work feeling upset and angry, but then I turned on some Glee music and I felt better. I picked up Lacey from my Grandparent's house and her smile made my day. She ran to me and hugged me so tight. I love her. We enjoyed a nice walk around the park and then played in the park...Anyhow...I know the Lord does not want me to be angry or upset, so I decided not to be. Work needs to stay at work!

In reading today, I read Mosiah 24. It talks about how Amulon persecutes Alma and his people and teaches false doctrine among the Lamanites. What I learned most, is that even though Alma and his people faced tough burdens and were persecuted, they never lost Hope in their God. They stayed true to the commandments and never let their faith in the Lord falter. The Lord told them that because they cried out to him in their hearts he would lighten their burdens and free them from bondage and He did. If we all just submit to the will of the Lord and do as He directs and commands, he will make our burdens lighter and bless us. We can live better lives at the will of the Lord.

Until next time,

S

Sorry I missed your call today. I wished I could have been there for you to talk about your crap day and/or the joys in your life. Call me again. HUGS.Thanks for enduring your bad day and being a great Mom. I am sure Lacey appreciated it.
