Rise above

I was looking back through some older posts from January and realized I failed to mention how great my new work environment is. How I managed to omit such a hugely happy fact is beyond me, but it appears I did. January 1st my office roomie that literally drove me crazy, got to move into her own office! OHHHH HAPPY DAY! It is incredibly amazing how much better each day has been since this event occurred. It's not that I don't like this person, or that she is a bad person. She just has no perception of her surroundings and no respect for others personal space. Anyway, work is no longer quite so awful and each day is no longer a struggle. Now if the other person who can't seem to mind her own business and is constantly "reporting" things she "notices" to supervisors, would take a hike, we'd be good to go. Well... almost...

I just have a hard time dealing with people who put on such a holy, pure persona but turn around and act in such a deceitful manner. They are consumed with themselves and only pretend to be remotely interested in your life. You can tell this when they ask you a question, then cut you off mid sentence and begin talking about themselves..again. I really dislike the fact that there are people in my life that I feel I have to sensor. You have to be careful what you tell them or what they see you doing because they will inevitably use it against you, no matter how harmless it really is. Lately where I park my car seems to be the issue...ridiculous.

I guess I've learned there are always going to be people we have to guard ourselves against, much like we guard ourselves against evil. We must keep our guard up at all times and refuse these people the opportunity to let their evils influence us. Rising above the pettiness of their daily battles and staying true to the person God wants us to be, must always remain in our hearts.
