Maybe...in the future...you're gonna come back

I had a bit of a rough start to my weekend, but it ended really well. The reason I say it was off to a rough start is because I'm kind of losing a friend right now. I won't name names, but I'll just say that losing her is extremely difficult for me. Our friendship has grown so strong for the past six years, and to have her pushing away just really hurts. Especially because I don't even know why she's pushing away. She won't talk to me, and words cannot express how much that devastates me. She wrote me a letter about a month ago saying she was going through some rough stuff and that she really needed me. I wrote her back right away and I've been praying for her every day since then, but I've gotten no response. I pray that God will bring her back some day. I hope this is only temporary. In the words of Ingrid Michaelson, "Maybe, in the future, you're gonna come back, you're gonna come back around."

On to brighter and better things...I'm really liking my new position at work as cashier assistant. At Costco, that basically means I put stuff in people's carts, give them boxes if they need them, and do "go backs" (take back things people don't want). It doesn't sound that exciting, but after being in the deli for so long, it feels like I've finally broken free. :) No more hair net, hat, smelly clothes, and greasy shoes! On Friday I had a pretty interesting situation at work...one of the Costco members lost her debit card. She was freaking out like no one I've seen before...all worried that someone was going to "wipe her account clean". I sensed her panic and I felt sorry for her. I offered to walk with her as she traced her steps around the warehouse. We didn't find it after the first search. Thankfully someone had turned the card in to the managers, so when I checked with them I was able to give the woman her card back. She was so happy she just about started crying. She was like "Oh my gosh...I'm so relieved! Thank you thank you thank you! Someone could have taken all my money!" And then we noticed this woman standing near us. She said, "Are you the one that lost that debit card? I found it on the ground over there." The woman who lost the card immediately hugged the woman who found it. She just kept saying "Bless you! Thank you, thank you, thank you!" It was really strange (and also really touching) to see two complete strangers hugging eachother. And I was really happy that that woman turned the card in. Not everyone does that, so it's always nice to see someone who's honest. I was really happy that both of those women went home in a good mood. :)

I hope you all had a nice weekend. I'm looking forward to this week...it's going to be busy, but I'm excited to see how God works. I've just started reading Battlefield of the Mind by Joyce Meyer, so look for an update about that soon! :) God bless!
