Yesterday, i went in to work from 3-10pm. I got there and things for me were terrible for a couple hours. I was making lots of mistakes, getting yelled at, making drinks too slow, etc..I got super stressed and frustrated, i wasn't motivated to do a good job, and i just wanted to quit. But then i remembered Col 3:23-24~ "Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people. Remember that the Lord will give you an inheritance as your reward, and that the Master you are serving is Christ."
I'm working to please God, not these rude teenagers, and their rediculous customers. After that change in perspective, things turned around...

I was one of the 3 employees that the owner decided to pay :P all the other employees came in and yelled at him, but i didn't have to confront him at all.
A husband and his pregnant wife drove thru on the way to the hospital because she was having contractions and going in to labor! There was nobody behind them so i talked to them for a little bit and found out that they are having a little girl (sophia). They saw i was wearing my Redding Adventist Academy xcountry shirt and asked if i was a christian, and i said yes. They asked if i could pray for them and baby sophia, and i did. It felt good to pray with strangers.
Then they drove off and a couple hours later Riley Tompkins came in for a visit! :D it was good to see a familiar face.
A while later, we started cleaning up and i cleaned my side like crazy! I cleaned places that hadn't been cleaned in a LONG time. When i finished, they came over to find something wrong, to tell me i wasn't doing anything good enough (for the millionth time), and to remind me that they are above me. But they couldn't find anything wrong. :) When one of them walked in, she said under her breath, "Holy crap..This is better than Ronnie would do it." (Ronnie is the owner) haha Then i went over to Jake Whiteley's house where we played some rock band and his mom made me a sandwich. :)
