An Accurate Reflection

Greetings to all in the blogsphere, first off I hope everyone is doing well as for me it is finally summer. A time to relax kick back and read a few books here and there, as well as do some fishing and other stuff.

As for the reading part I'm steadily moving through John Piper's Future Grace just six chapters in and I've already been confronted with some great biblical truth. About how we are to live in the grace that Christ lavishes upon us. We should always be careful not to feel as though we can ever repay God back for the grace that he gives us because the day that happens grace stops being grace.

that's a little preview more to come later in the review

The title of my entry has to do with situation at work tonight. Last sunday I asked my small group fellowship to please be in prayer for me that my attitude would always be a an "accurate reflection" of what Christ has called us to be in the workplace as well as everyday life. Tonight was a rough night we had the minimum amount of people there to operate our part of the sort(I work @ UPS). So needless to say the supervisors were asking a lot of all of us tonight. It came down to the end of the night and I was told that if certain task wasn't done at the end of the night I wasn't going to be allowed to leave until it was done. It was at this point that lost it a little bit and said that my responsibility was to my section first then whatever else is needed.

Long and the short of it was was rude and disrespectful to my supervisor. it was then that a lady working next to me asked me if I was allowed to get away with that. At first I was like uh that's the norm around here. She then proceeded to draw my attention to the fact that I had been disrespectful and rude.

So all in all it was a very humbling experience. I'm thankful that there are still Christians who have to courage to call one another out when they observe a fellow member of the body acting in a way they shouldn't.
