Bothered

 Happy Sabbath

I don't want to come on here being all negative and stuff.  I am thankful for a good week. I came back to work this week and it was not all total chaos and unbearable.  I had some successes and some low points, but all in all God is good.

Today was a little different because a church member decided to go past me and set up something when I had already made arrangements for the service.  I am bothered when people tell me it is my responsibility to do something and when I am doing the work for it, they dismiss any authority I was given to do that work and go on with their program.  Why ask me to do this or that when you were just going to do your own thing and not really include me anyway?  I always try to make peace so I allowed the change to happen, but my heart, my mind was not in it for the rest of the program so I decided to log off and listen to something on Dare to Dream network.  

I was also bothered a bit when a client's family member who was aware of what strings I was trying to pull and the work I put into finding a safe place for her daughter came at me as if I didn't try anything at all and really the family was responsible for all of her success.  Pretty much telling me that I was utterly useless.  Other people would be quick to try to salvage that relationship.  I, however, am not operating that way any more.  I quickly got the ball rolling to part ways.  I only jumped on the case because they were disatisfied with how others were treating them and that they were not able to get help.  With God's help I was able to get her into a place when every single other place I called refused to take her.  I did other work and bent over backwards, but there are some people you just can't please.  She ruined everything that was set up.  She turned everything down that was working.  I am not taking the blame for that.  So yes, I was a little bit bothered that the mother came at me the way she did, but it's okay.  I'm not dealing with that any more.  

There are other things but I will stop there.  I'm home, we are safe. I had something good to eat.  I will press on and keep it moving.  I am thankful that I can keep it moving.  I am thankful that I am moving. 

I am looking forward to doing an escape room with my sister and my son tomorrow.  Other good things are to come and I'm going to get from being bothered and get on being encouraged and inspired.
