One of the things I’ve always enjoyed about my online work is that it’s basic work but it’s still a very appreciated position. As the years have passed I’ve started doing the work for people up the work food chain. In the last week or so I’ve been asked to do a job that is a little more challenging and it comes with more responsibility. I’m getting the hang of it but it’s been a little stressful at times. I can understand why I’ve been asked to do it – if I get it right, which so far, I have done (I hope), it will take a load of “backwards & forwarding” kind of work away from one of the directors. This last week has been a learning curve, but I’m getting into it.
Today has only been a 7 and a half hour work day, which seems tame after yesterday’s ten hours. Mike and I even managed to get out together to do some shopping. But my sense is that the months ahead are going to be pretty busy at work.
I am so thankful.
For those who read this from outside of South Africa, we have not had load shedding for more than a week. Suddenly, as quickly as the lights went off, they have stayed on. Hopefully there will be stability, although the prognosis from people in the know is not as optimistic. Mike has done some investigation – to get us off the grid during load shedding will cost a about R40 000 – we will have to decide if this is worth it. No load shedding and plenty of water – it’s amazing how a year ago, the water shortage was absolutely critical. Now, 12 months later, we are cruising towards the end of summer with dams in total 30.5% fuller than a year ago. So grateful for that too.
Isaiah 25:1
Lord, You are my God; I will exalt You and praise Your name, for in perfect faithfulness You have done wonderful things, things planned long ago.
God always has a plan.
These are the days.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
In His Grip,
