New Job


"Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." (Matthew 11:28)

It was a long four weeks of training; however, I met some really great people, a few are lifelong friends in the making. I know the Lord has great things in store for me at The Berry Company and know He has put me here for a reason. Maybe it's to be there for new friends or just to be and show His love through me. I have been really exhausted the past month of working and trying to get used to working again. Being in the corporate world after being off for two and a half years is not easy. I'm struggling with how to balance life and work. Poor Sadie, she is being such a good girl, I know she's going through a big adjustment as well. I am so thankful for great friends and family who love me through this adjustment. There have been some emotional moments and some fun moments. 

 The friends I've made at work so far have been great. I keep in touch with Melissa most. She and I have a lot in common and clicked right away. I would not have made it through the training without her. :O) There are others who made training especially fun, Richard in particular, but so happy it's finally finished and now on my own. Technically I'm still in training for additional 12 weeks, but it's so nice to be able to work on my own and adjust to my own style. The picture above is the entire training class and the trainers. 

The Lord is teaching me to be patient with myself and not be too quick to judge others. To be honest, I have had my moments that were not glorifying to the Lord and I've not been very careful with my mouth. I want to be the witness the Lord wants me to be and I could use additional prayer to help me be what the Lord wants me to be. I want the Lord to shine through my actions and sometimes my actions, although not bad, are not glorifying. I should be doing everything to the glory of God. I'm struggling but I'm trying harder. The Lord is so good and just to protect and be there for His people. I am going to do whatever it takes to do everything to the glory of the Lord. Much love to you all, Robyn :O)
