Let the Peace of God....

Saturday I was working my fitness program.  It is unusual because the people who go to my fitness center really enjoy the people.  They are more than kind or pity they really like to see the people.  One person in my program really should not be there.  She spends her hour ripping up magazines, watching herself and exchanging hair ties.  It takes one or two staff to watch her and the rest of the participants lose out.  Even though I am the supervisor who is the main teacher I try to take time to work with her so my staff has a break.  I am learning that even though I am frustrated with the situation I have a good staff to help her and that she is a person loved by God and is precious.  My heart broke when I brought her out to her dad when I saw him standing there with pride waiting for his daughter.  It was all an act and my heart thought about how she was a reminder of what could not be would be. 

Today I found out that at the last minute they wanted me to do something.  It was poor planning on anothers part.  I was initially frustrated and then what I put together did not work.  Initially I was frustrated but then I thought about how the other people lived their life on the edge at the last minute.
What a horrible way to live always on catching up to the worries and concerns of life.  I did not cause the problem but in the future I can do my part to eliminate my part to be a part of it.

I also dread tomorrow and a mandatory meeting I have to go to.  I always feel less than desired and the situation of pressures mostly out of my control puts me on edge.  But then I think about it and realize I did not cause many of the problems that were being brought on.  I also have a choice to not let the false pressure of others go on to the people in my life whether students or family go on to them.  With the help of Christ I can do all things peacefully and calmly with Him.
