Sidetrack

I wanted to do a post about joy but that will  be another post.  I was thinking how there is nothing for me to do in my job.  Literally, I have maximized the capable effiency possible and I can not do anymore in my current role.  

I am at the point now that I organize my desk every hour (sad I know).  I need to be cross-trained or trained on something new but the problem is that I am temporary (praise God for that).  I can not wait to leave and serve in the Peace Corps.  The other problem is that no one has time to train me.  The training process is not a matter of pay but of time.  So, basically I have been thinking about different ways to fire people or different ways to add value to a resident or a new way to do some particular task faster or to be memorize the contents in all my drawers and memorize basically everything one knows about the job minus the training, which is alot because I found a manual.  The manual needs to be updated but the foundation is still true.

I am at a lost as to what to do next at work.  Essentially, my job has become a dial tone job.  At first, it was exciting because I am learning new things but after that I do not understand how one can stay at a job like this for years under the assumption of complete maximization on their part.  I serious believe that is committing suicide.  That is a strong term but nonetheless true for me.  If I had a family and was trying to put food on the table, then I will be the man.  In my case, I do not have those wonderful responsibilities and I am not seeking them out either.  I like randomness, mystery and confirmation.  That is probably a weird combo but it makes complete sense to me.

Randomness because the options for stagnation is minimal. Mystery because I can see what lies ahead except my vision of the future and what it has in store.  Confirmation because I see the mystery and randomness yet am not perplexed by the amenities or the agreeableness of the mystery and randomness.

It is my opportunity to face the challenge with zeal and with a pursuit of perfection as working for the Lord.

Colossians 3:23 is the reason I find ways to be more efficient even though it truly feels like I can not do anymore I ask God for one more way and I will do that one way quietly.  Obviously though, you can not leaving out Colossians 3:24 which goes stating the reward of inhertinance comes from the Lord. It is Christ Jesus whom you serve.

I love the beginning of Colossians 3:24.  

Knowing.  The greek word is eidon (link: http://www.blueletterbible.org/lang/lexicon/lexicon.cfm?strongs=G1492&t=KJV&page=20) which means to see, to perceive with the eyes, to perceive by any of the sense, to perceive, to notice, to discern, to discover, to inspect, to examine, to look at, to behold, to experience any state or condition, to know, to know of anything, to know i.e. get knowledge of, understand, perceive, to have regard for one, cherish.  

Knowing.  Isn't it wonderful to know that ye shall receive the reward of inheritance; for ye willingly and obediently serve the Lord Christ.

That is my sidetrack for the day.  Next time I will discuss joy.
