first compliment

since starting work in my dream job, life has gone downhill. things aren't as rosy as i had imagined, and i am nowhere near as competent as i would like to be - or is as expected of me. i am educated/scolded on a daily basis, sometimes not in the kindest of ways. sometimes this gets to me- i have been waking up quite frequently with nightmares.

today, i was floored when i received a compliment from the most unlikely source. i am naturally quite self-critical, and usually i just bat compliments away and choose to dwell on the criticisms. but i think   i have become conditioned to expect the onslaught of criticism, so any change is like a sea breeze. i am going to savour the moment. who knows when the next compliment will be.

whatever it is, whether i make it through this training or not, i know that God has a plan for me.

The world is littered with unfinished visions, and is not life such a vision? And is not the finishing of any thing a little death?
