Job and Jaxon

Well, it's lunch time and I'm anything but hungry. Though, I have been going hard all day long. Do you ever work so hard and long that eating just sort of slips your mind? I do it... not often enough, as evidenced by my jean size.

I started my new job this week. It's been good, but extremely busy. Monday through yesterday was spent "in the field" as we call it, meeting contacts from our referral agencies. That was all good; though I was exhausted by the end of the day due to having to "be on" all day. The older I get the more I recognize I am an introvert. Some of you who know me may beg to differ, but that is - because you know me. My preference most days is to stay quiet and to myself. Ask Karla, whom I went to a Super Bowl party with; only to be found upstairs in a room pretty much by myself, midway through the second quarter. I like people, no doubt. And good thing, 'cause I work with them everyday. But I find my energy source is definitely not fed through being with people.

Back to the job thing... it's good. Though today has been spent sifting through piles of clutter and other people's mess. And again, if you know me at all, you know that clutter ---well, I despise it. If it were up to me, I would haul the whole mess back to the dumpster and let the fine Nashville Trash Company pick it up. But, I have been asked to sift through it and determine what needs to go and what needs to stay. Again, I don't like cleaning up my own mess let alone someone elses'. (Okay... so you caught me venting a little.)

Let's talk about something fun and exciting... my sweet friends Mark and Michelle are now proud parents of Jaxon You-An McKinney! They have been parents for awhile now, but finally got to hold the little man yesterday after arriving in Taiwan. If you think of it; I'd ask you to pray for Mark and Michelle. Specifically that Michelle would feel better... she had been pretty sick before arriving in Taiwan. And, of course, that the Lord would lead them in parenting this beautiful little boy. Thanks...

And now I am happy again. Who cares that I have junk to sift through...it's all relative.
