Christianity in the Workplace

...or lack thereof.

I work with quite the cast of characters.

Conversations include, but are not limited to, my coworker's open marriage, monogamy, religion (two of my coworkers are atheists), legalizing drugs, etc. Whoa. There have been several conversations where we've had to just agree to disagree.

Needless to say, I've learned a lot about people and myself. I've learned to hold my own and explain my opinion. I've learned to be fully informed on a topic to be able to back up my beliefs. It has really challenged my thinking. I'm no longer constantly surrounded by my safety net of college friends. I've met people who are absolutely, 100% different from me and it has broadened my approach to interacting with people.

Strapping on the hiking gear again

I thought I was getting glimpses of the top of the mountain.

I think I had just found a plateau...
I rested there for a little bit... a false sense of clarity. Then I realized there was more climbing to do. There IS more climbing to do.

The plateau was good for a while. God was with me again. I found pieces of purpose again. It seemed to be good. But it was just better than the messy valley I had been in. So much more good awaits me.

I know there is still some hurt ahead, but I will not feel bad fighting for myself to find healing and restoration. Its not wrong and I'm seeing that now. Its okay to fight for myself too.
