Under Construction

So this past week was probably one of the hardest I have had in a while, I was busy with my job and I had an extra phone that I get for emergencies. I only get the phone for 3 weeks out of the year, but depending on the week, those 7 days can feel like an eternity. I learned a lot last week, and through the ups and the downs, I experienced some really cool things. I love my job. It has stretched me and challenged me in ways I never thought possible. It has taught me grace, love and joy in the simplest of things. It has also afforded me sweet friendships and moments where I cry from laughter. There are harder moments of course, that test my patience and teach me to listen instead of moving my jaw as fast as shark week. Mostly I learned that just like everyone else, I need to have grace for myself. I sometimes expect so much out of myself that when I don't measure up to these unspoken standards I have set, I am disappointed in myself for not living up  to these agreements I made
