Organic Gardens and Alex

I have had a nice day today all in all. At work this morning some nice people bought me some chocolates as a thankyou for helping organise some meetings for them, and then I left 3 hours early to go and meet Katrina and baby Alex at Ryton Organic Gardens. It's a really nice place with a really nice place to sit and have a cup of tea and chatter away; which we did. Hopefully an experience to be repeated.

I was meant to be going out tonight as well, however as that has been cancelled I am sitting here blogging again instead... why not!

I am in the mood to chunter on to someone, and unfortunately there is no-one around to chunter to apart from poor old Jon, who is currently doing the washing up in the kitchen - a job he prefers to do undisturbed!!

Pippa is once again snoozling at my feet; she is very perturbed as I have her chewy orange ball up here on the sofa and I wont let her have it because she eats it... and leaves little orange things all over the floor. Not good. And I refuse to throw it in the house, because that is lethal - so all in all she is not very happy with me. Humans just clearly don't know how to have as much fun as doggies do!

Nicole walked Pippa today, and apparently let her have a swim, which explains why Pip is so tired. She loves to swim! Especially on lovely sunny days like we've been having.

So; I'm bored at work at the moment... really bored. I mean, there's about enough stuff to do to fill most of my time if I do it really slowly. And there are always those boring boring jobs like invoices which take up a regular proportion of time. But clock watching I hate. There are a few things I have in the pipeline to make a start on, however I have no motivation for them whatsoever! And even when I start them, give it a couple of days, they'll be done and it will be back to clock watching for me... so, how can I fill my time at work... when there's no work to be done? Hmmm what a question!

I have thought about finding another job... but what's the point? I'm not qualified enough to do anything that pays much more than this job...! To go and do a qualification at this point in my life is silly, uni wont pay the mortgage, and by the time I've got a job paying more than I earn now... well the situation might have changed, and I wont want to work anyway?

Ponderings ponderings. Isn't it good that the Bible tells us that the trouble we face today is sufficient enough?! We're not to worry about tomorrow! And - if we're short, Jesus says, will worrying about it make us one inch taller?! Nope. Nada.

God holds the key to all unknown and I am glad. If any other hand should hold the key, or He entrusted it to me - I might be sad.

And yes, sometimes the key opens the door to a sad day... however I'd rather have those sad days given to me by my heavenly Father one day at a time, rather than stepping back and having to see them all at once. He knows the way that I take, and when He has tried me I shall come forth as gold. He will only put the burdens on me that I am strong enough to bear, and in Christ I can bear whatever He puts on me!

One day at a time, Lord Jesus, that's all I'm asking of you. Just help me today, show me the way, one day at a time.
