God's gracious gifts

today I am thinking just how gracious God is to me--this week I choose to work 6 days in a row, 2 shifts overtime at the hospital. Usually, I will only take one overtime shift, which I learned that I could balance well.

Despite these mistakes, this workaholism, I found that God was so gracious to me as soon as I acknowledge my mistake and asked for His help. Despite being overwhelmed, I actually had two very good days working in the hospital, when usually I would feel so much pressure and be more agitated with people I work with when overwhelmed.

Because I repented, I didn't feel this way. I felt the burden was off; I made a mistake, but I recognized it and I had turned the other way--I planned not to work so much overtime (just felt a little insecure about the finances this month). I plan not to make this mistake again, even though it is a struggle for me.
