Listening & Praying

HIDAGITWT  Day 2

Today my favorite fellow supervisor and dear friend,  LaDonna, had some rough responsibilities to handle.

LaDonna has been my number one support since I became a supervisor, nearly a year ago. Sometimes I call her my sanity, my mentor. But always I acknowledge the mercy of the Lord in putting her in my life. Both professionally and personally, she is my best support at this point in my life.  Well, lately she's been going through some very challenging things in her life. It's pouring on her. Thing after thing.  It's just been a really tough time.

So today she had to face some work challenges that blew up and became even worse than expected. I felt so sad for her.

I couldn't really do anything about them. But I could call after each appointment. I could listen. I could support her judgment and decisions (honestly, because I do think she's right). And when we got off the phone, I could pray for her. So I did do all that.

Once again, nothing huge to all this. But I was glad that I was there. That my dear friend didn't have to go though this all alone. My being there, my trying to be a true follower of Jesus Christ -- it mattered!

And that makes me content. And grateful.
