Um, how do i respond to that?

The following is a list of weird and awkward things that weird and awkward people have said to me at work. *Disclaimer: some of the people mentioned are not in fact, weird and awkward, just mean. you know who you are. :)

(Guy opens door for me)
Me: "Thank you"
Guy: "You are welcome, I'd do the same thing for a short girl."
Me: "Well, I guess thank you for not discriminating."

"Why do you wear heels when you are already so tall?"

(Guy to Linda Smith when she asked him to carry a package)
"Why do you need my help when you have this big 'ol girl up here."

(Day I wore a skirt)
"Wow, she does have legs!"

(Day I wore pink shirt and shoes)
"Look at that, stinky pinky!"

(Getting on the elevator)
Me: "looks like I beat you to the button"
Guy: "Well it wouldn't take much on a day like today"
(Then guy bangs his head against the wall and slides down)

Chaplain: "I'm teaching a class on Wiccan, would you mind coming in so I can show them what a real witch looks like?"

Chaplain: "Do you need some money to buy a new sweater so you don't have to keep wearing your little sister's?"

Guy: "Are you sure Megan is a Christian?" (After Barb told him I would be canvassing with her for the block party)

A different guy: "I don't work with girls that are more than 6 inches taller than me."

Some other dude: "Just when you think your day can't get any worse..." (Approaching me while giving a tour to new employees)

(While I'm pushing a heavy cart with Valla)
Valla: "We need a man"
Another guy: "Well Valla you don't, but Megan does"

Yep. I'm about to quote T. Trask...

"Yes, there is such a thing as God's permissible will, but why would you want to settle when you could be living in His PERFECT will?"

-Thomas Trask, previous General Superintendent of the Assemblies of God

Me and Jibby...2004

If life is a highway, why can't I drive?

How does one develop a passion in life? You know, that drive that pushes you to be better then you are.

The reason I ask is b/c I’ve decided that I have none. Yep. No drive. No passion. No desire to better myself. It’s kind of depressing actually. I find myself talking about all of these great things I want to do and all these changes I want to make and then when it comes to following through with these amazing plans…I choke. I just don’t care enough to actually get off my lazy butt and make something happen. Then, I actually have the nerve to talk about how crappy my life is.

So this brings me back to my initial question. How do I get the drive? That self-motivation to be a better person.

I guess I’ll just sit here, do nothing and think about it some more…that seems to be the theme of my life lately.

Just what I needed

Isn't it amazing how God uses people to confirm things in our lives?

A personal struggle I've had over the past year is finding my purpose in life. Why can't I find a job using my degree? Why am I working where I am? Why am I single? What's next? What am I supposed to do next and how soon can I get the heck outta here?

I've found myself constantly being so anxious about my future. So much so, that I was missing the moments. I haven't been soaking it all in. If I have to live this life, why spend every day being discontent? Why not appreciate what you've been giving and live each day to the fullest?

Back to God's confirmation. I was working this weekend and was talking to a military man that I really respect. Not knowing my situation at all, as he addressed the group he touched on the very issues I have been struggling with. He said that he found himself asking God why he was punishing him, when finally it clicked...it's not about me, it's about Him.

Of course there was more to the speech that I won't go into, but the point it, his words were exactly what I needed to hear. I'm so thankful for a God that uses people to confirm things in our lives. It may not be in an audible voice, but it's comforting to know that He cares enough to use others to speak to me when I need it the most.

Check out Psalm 27
