1st Closing Sunday
Tonight was the first Sunday I have closed. Sunday is our busiest day. Usually on Sundays the store is super crowded and tore up and I can't even begin to describe to people how bad the store can look and how messy and inconsiderate the customers can be in this town. It is really something that people has to experience first hand to see what the store is like on a weekend. Earlier this week I was dreading closing tonight because it's the Sunday on 4th of July weekend and I expected it to be worse than usually. Although today, I had peace about closing most of the day. The time I started to freak out and get frustrated was when I wasn't wasn't working hard and doing what I should have been doing instead of setting around taking to another assistant about personal stuff that wasn't work related. Today the store wasn't as busy as I expected and everything pretty much work out ok. I can definitely see the favor and help from God because I know that if it wasn't for Him helping me out, things wouldn't have been pretty.
The things I am fighting the most in this job is my insecurities about standing up and taking authority and my indecisiveness. I lack confidence because I fear failure. Plus I don't want the associates to hate me but if you are a manager you can't be a people pleaser...let alone in any position. Plus if you want to obey God, you can't be a people pleaser as well because you can't serve to masters. There is no way I am every going to please everyone with everything that I do so I my as well get over it and do what I feel is right for me to do. I need to quit letting people control me the way I have let them lately. I need to get back my confidence I once had in myself and in God, and I need to still believe that He is still going to make me a good manager.
Thank you Lord for this day and for the job you have given me. You are so wonderful to keep me under your wing while you protect and strengthen me!
