Knock, Knock....Who's There?....Interrupting

I had a rough 24 hours due to job responsibilities and changes.  I had a meeting yesterday which resulted in a decision I had to make last night.  My new option was not that appealing and the people in the meeting had asked for my honest opinion on the spot.... I actually surprised myself and was very blunt in my response to them....usually, I use much more of a filtered and gracious response.  My boss (who happens to be an Asian man) said, "thank you for your candor.".. :) That really made me smile even though I was frustrated and made me wonder if the whole situation was just a Divergent Simulation Test.  I realized on the way home that even though I felt some gratification from my burst of bluntness, there were probably a lot more variables in the decision for the people that had to make the call, so I prayed about my attitude last night and for the appropriate decision and today I approached my final discussion with them with much more tact.  I still am not THRILLED with what the outcome seems to look like for me, but everything comes in seasons and instead of asking God why I am in a particular season...I should trust that He is leading me forward....how many lessons does it take to get there?

Then, today was the first time I had to log into the Homeland Security website for students and give clearance for an international student to enter the country.  I had some anxiety over that because there are all these passwords...time limits,  I have to sign my name a bunch of places...and I hear it will self destruct :)

 Hey, in a way, it does make me feel like I am a spy...love that!

When I completed it, I felt so accomplished and I walked out to tell a friend I finished my first one and someone had brought in Hinkley's Doughnuts....I KNEW GOD WAS REWARDING ME...(most of them were the chocolate crescent kind)!

Then, out of nowhere, some girlfriends emailed to see if I want to join them for a girl's night out tomorrow night....they didn't even know about the last 24 hours of my life.  A movie quote (from a person who does not know he is quoting a line from a movie), doughnuts, and friendships?....I really tried to be mad about my circumstance, but I kept getting interrupted by AWESOME!
