Revive Us Again

*device was malmfunctioning but this was typed on the Sabbath. Determined to get post up today.

 Happy Sabbath,

This was a really good Sabbath today. Three young people were baptized today and one reaffirmed her faith in God. All were made official members into our church and it was such a joy to see. 

I keep checking my work schedule and today I was not added on automatically. Oh....I was added on Monday though. I was going on about business and getting tired. I had it in my mind to go to bed and had checked the system to see if they put me back on schedule in the morning but they had not. That night, I was about to go to bed but my son begged me to play a game and as much as I didn't want to, I decided to do it. I remember asking Alexa twice what time it was and was confused as to why the time was not much later as I expected. I played the game and was preparing to go to bed when I decided to check one last time to see if they would allow me to sign up for shifts. 

They had my name on the schedule for that night and I had only 30min to get ready. 

I had been on leave of absence and didn't realize they would also take away my accrued time off so at this point I have none. 

I scrambled and headed out to work and I thank the Lord because I should have been dead tired and I was not. I was up as early as 4am Monday morning, worked a long day Monday, didn't take a nap because I never do when I'm not scheduled to work. I worked from 10pm to 7am, picked up my son and got home by 7:45am to start my other job from 8am to 4pm. I went to bed around 8pm that night.

I worked Wednesday but chose not to sign up for the Saturday open shift because I know before when I signed up, the system started automatically filling me in for every shift. I want to have the choice of when I come in. I really prefer to work mon and wed, not Saturday nights. 

I didn't sign up for Monday as I hope to secure a full restful four day weekend. I am thankful that I have my job back. 

God is good. There is something else happening right now...a brother, young guy is in a coma as a result of Covid. I pray he will recover and return to his wife and daughters. It is in God's hands.

May He have mercy on him and be with those who were baptized today and recommitted themselves.
