Can't, WON'T.

Midweek reality check:

You can't please people.

You can't make them happy.

maybe for a day, but not forever.

whomp whomp, huh??

no, but really.

this has been a pretty tumultuous few weeks at work,

ups and downs, inside out, hanging on for dear life.

tumultuous in the sense that we've felt a little uninspired, restricted.

and it's really affected how our team's been functioning.

i'm sure everyone knows how that feels,

so i feel ok posting about this here.

i've been exhausted!

trying to figure out how to fix this.

how to be a "solution" to the problem.

since getting this job, i've really been praying

well...less praying, more wondering how "i can be a light" here in hollywood.

i really thought that meant smiles, happy faces and a really good attitude about everything.

WELL.

i'm incapable.

and i realized that yesterday somewhere along the 10,

when I finally surrendered this whole savior complex to God in prayer.

TWO THINGS:

1. this verse, ironically from our bible study just this past saturday.

"Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings,

or of God?

Or am I trying to please people?

If I were still trying to please people,

I would not be a servant of Christ."

Galatians 1:10

duh, Trisha, it's ALL RIGHT THERE.

2. this not-so-HIP, but totally happening song from the 90's:

Oh Holy Spirit, You're my comfort

Strengthen me, hold my head up high

And I stand upon Your truth

Bringing glory unto You

And let the peace of God,

let it reign!


ah, amen.
