Each day there is an endless stream of phone calls, walk-in’s, and bathroom questions. People are entering your space from the moment you walk in the door until the moment you leave.
There are two ways you can approach each day. You can give your time to God and work for Him and enjoy all the interruptions or you can get bitter, resentful, and upset each time someone enters your space.
I have to admit, there are times when I struggle with the strains on my time. After all, don’t people realize that I have dead lines to meet and conference calls to attend? They all seem to think their issues are the most important. I am expected to drop everything and run to them. And you know what? They are right. I am here to serve.
When I focus my mind on God, the interruptions in my day are blessings in disguise. I am able to spend time with someone who needs help. Many times God has opened a door for me in the work environment where I can talk to them about Him. God always has a reason for the people and the things we encounter in each day.
My best days are when God has opened my eyes to something I would not have seen. Some times I am able to have a good belly laugh with a co-worker. Some times we are able to share a hug or a tear. People are hurting. People need others to acknowledge them.
For me, enter is not just another key on the keyboard of life. Enter is the opening of a door that God has blessed me with. C’mon, walk through that door with me.
