Strong enough for the both of us

I had one of the worst days at work today! I can't even remember all of it. I remember just a couple main... issues. I remember I was so busy and had so many tables to take care of that I lost track of things. I realized a whopping total of two times that I had failed to enter orders into the system, and two tables of guests were going without food for much longer periods of time. I felt so terrible, and there were several times that a co-worker Cristi had to come to my rescue and take orders for me as well as bring drinks out to people. She was such a blessing tonight!


I also had a table who got mad at me because they were under the impression that I gave them the wrong ticket when in fact I had accidentally given the table next to them a copy of their ticket. It's funny though, because when I told the woman that she had the correct ticket, and I apologized quite a bit, she was still angry with me! I was a little taken aback. Why not READ the ticket I gave you and make sure you have the right ticket? I know I'm obviously the one who is supposed to do that first, of course, but I gave the woman the right ticket. She should have also known that. The table to whom I gave the wrong ticket was wonderful. They told me, "We know you're human, sweetie, it's ok. People make mistakes, don't worry!" I was so grateful.


Tonight was crazy. So many things going on at once, as I'm tired and sore. The one thing that I am most grateful for though is my wonderful father in heaven. He blessed me so much today. I had two dollars this morning after I gave Him my tithing. As I was down at the altar praying, I asked Him to just bless my finances and help me do better in that aspect of my life. He truly blessed me today, and I am so thankful! I love my father so much. He is such a kind, loving God, who wants to make me happy and help me learn the best way to live my life. He is so forgiving and gracious. He leads me through my life and gives me happiness and love. I am so blessed in my life to have Him with me. He walks with me every day and gives me peace. What a wonderful God we have to watch over each and every one of us!

There is a song I love and today makes me think about it:

You must, You must think I’m strong

To give me what I’m going through

Well forgive me, forgive me if I’m wrong

But this looks like more than I can do

On my own

I know I’m not strong enough to be

Everything that I’m supposed to be

I give up, I’m not strong enough

Hands of mercy won’t You cover me?

Lord, right now I’m asking You to be

Strong enough, strong enough

For the both of us

Well maybe, maybe that’s the point

To reach the point of giving up

‘Cause when I’m finally, finally at rock bottom

Well that’s when I start looking up

And reaching out

‘Cause I’m broken

Down to nothing

But I’m still holding on to the one thing

You are God

And You are strong when I am weak

I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength

And I don’t have to be strong enough
