Encouraged

I'm hanging in there, how about you?!

Work has been trying, the situation with my challenging employee has continued to evolve - I'd fill you in on the details but you'd be appalled at half of it and not quite believe the other half, so suffice it to say that there aren't many of these but the one there are you want to stay far, far away from you. They know all the rules back and forth and use them trying to find any and all holes even where there are none, they also wave the "lawsuit" and "EEOC" flag as often as possible because they think it helps them get their way. The good news is that this employee is now on written warning for attendance issues, and had a fairly rough performance eval recently that laid out things that need to be improved upon. The Lord has not moved me on, so therefore I know He has a reason for why I am in a position I dislike and am having to deal with an employee situation that should have been termintated many, many months ago before it was ever transferred to me. So lately, I've come to really lean on these words from one of my favorite artists...

Hard as it seems
Standing in dreams
Where is the dreamer now
Wonder if I
Wanted to try
Would I remember how
I don't know the way to go from here
But I know I have made my choice
And this is where I stand
Until He moves me on

And I will listen to His voice
This is the faith
Patience to wait
When there is nothing clear
Nothing to see
Still we believe
Jesus is very near
I can not imagine what will come
But I've already made my choice
And this is where I stand
Until He moves me on

And I will listen to His voice
Could it be that He is only waiting there to see
If I will learn to love the dreams
that He has dreamed for me
Can't imagine what the future holds
But I've already made my choice
And this is where I stand
Until He moves me on
And I will listen to His voice
