Spaghetti...
Yes...
That's it...
That's exactly what my brain has felt like for the last week!
There's so much to learn.
I'm glad the trainers are patient.
Learning to use the computer programs is more than a bit challenging.
I hope to be back to writing soon.
Condensing a 16 hour day into about 5 hours isn't easy. That's what it feels like to go from being a homemaker, writer, knitter, sewist, and all the other things woman to a working woman who doesn't want to give up any of those things!
And I want to be with my husband, too!
I'm not sure yet what is going to give, but something will have to be lower priority.
I keep reminding myself that I'm doing this for a season to help us to be in a better place for retirement. I'm going to work on paying off debt and saving money.
I believe that God called me into this ministry.
It's a Catholic healthcare system. They refer to it as a ministry; and, talk of Jesus is heard often.
So, I'm going to keep on keeping on. This week will be easier than last week; because, I have last week's learning to build on.
"Keep telling yourself that, love."

It will all be good.
Thanks so much for your encouragement and prayers!

I agree with Captain Jack and The Little Engine That Could. You've got this, Laura and this is the place you were obviously meant to be :)
ReplyDeleteI know how you feel because I used to work for the school district only 186 days a year. Now that I am working a regular 40 hour a week job it was a big adjustment. You'll find your rhythm in time.
ReplyDeleteIf you felt 'called' then you will handle it all well. Just a new learning on how to prioritize. I remember working and do ALL the stuff - and then when I retired it was like how did I do that. Just different priorities. Best of luck to you.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like a wonderful place to work, Laura. Hang in there and rejoice in the long-term benefits!
ReplyDeleteYou've got this! Maureen in MO
ReplyDeleteYou will be great, just breath.
ReplyDeleteHang in there, girl. In a couple of weeks all that you're learning will become second nature.
ReplyDeleteI admire your courage in stepping into something new. New beginnings can feel big, but God is already in the details. Praying you feel God’s nearness and strength in every moment. Thank you for the honesty and vulnerability you share with us. :)
ReplyDeleteHang in there! Kudos for sticking with it. And here's to a weekend where you can do some of those other things!:) Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteLaura, a bit of encouragement...when I started at the library, there was so much to learn. The first few weeks I was exhausted mentally and physically. Within a few weeks, I realized that some things I was so nervous about had already become second nature and on it went like that over the next month or so. Eventually I realized that I had put so much pressure on myself and that all the things that felt hard, were really just simple tasks. I hope the same happens for you. And yes, things will have to give at home. There is no such thing as "doing it all" as the world has tried to say. But you will figure out what the priorities are and everything will fall into place as you go along. I hope you have a wonderful week :)
ReplyDeleteSending you hugs and love. Happy March.

Hi, Laura!
ReplyDeleteI'm praying for you. It's not easy and I know God will help you and give you strenght.
Have a blessed weekend and try to get some rest!

I understand just what spaghetti brain feels like, indeed! You have a lot going on, and I'm glad you are giving yourself grace in the process! I will be praying for you in this new transition process, and that this new place of ministry will be a blessed place for you. Also praying for your headaches!!!
