Work
Yesterday I began my first full-time job as an innkeeper at a Bed & Breakfast in Edmond. I love what I am doing, but I have to tell you, it is already getting to me physically and emotionally (and I am only on day 2). I did not realize that I would be working 9 hours a day and would be on my feet (while wearing dress shoes) for almost half the day. I have never worked a 40-hour a week job, so this is a first for me. I love the fact that it is a family run business, so you get to know everybody pretty quick and they are all very nice. It's just that one of my biggest fears is failure, to myself and to others. I am afraid that once my training is done and I am left to do the work by myself, something will not get done that needs to get done before I go home, I'll book guests in the wrong room, I won't fold the laundry just right, etc. I must say this is the first job I have been absolutely terrified of. I know I need to get over these fears and just do my best. My parents have always told that your best is all you can do. I've been praying that God will just get me through the day, which I know He will. If anybody is reading this, could you say a little prayer for me? I would really appreciate it!!!

ReplyDeleteWow! Do I ever understand! When I started at Eveready, it was a whole new world for me. I would lie awake at night worried about how I was doing, and of course I would pray about it. It got better over time. Remember everyone has a first day. And no one knows the routine before starting. Grandpa says that check lists on 3 x 5 cards are your friends. We will both be praying for you. Love you infinitely, Grandpa and Grandma
