Eureka!

Been in a tizzy at work for the past couple of weeks.

I keep asking myself - Why am I getting so worked up? Why am I so annoyed with her? Why am I starting to get irritated at the sound of her whiny voice (when I have friends who have whinier-sounding voices than hers)?

Then it hit me as I was driving home tonight - I have been expecting things from her without realising it! Her history, her capabilities and abilities - I have been expecting her to be what she can be at work when she doesn't have any interest to do so.

What a relief!

And very grateful for the lesson too. :)

This moment on, no expectations and treat her the way Jesus does with me and everyone else.


Why?


Because...despite her periodic (and slowly diminishing) off-tangent crazy talk & out-of-this-world statements, and her (also diminishing) inclination to attempt to tai chi work to others (and failing oh so miserably), I have grown rather fond of her.
And I do consider her a friend of sorts.


Do you believe that Jesus can heal wounded hearts? Restore broken lives? Move the insane to the right side of sanity?


I do.
