Well, Im posting again. About one every 6 months. Got to get better at this. My thoughts today are about suffering in this world. My question today is suffering caused by our bad attitude, our lack of motivation, or our lack of understanding about our circumstances. Today I listened to one of the employees at PHTS talk about how she was going to cancel her short term disability insurance because it was not doing anything. She had been in a car accident caused by another. Well, when I researched her situation more from those who know more about insurance. I found out first of all that she had not filed a claim and she had not been out of work long enough to file a claim. However, she was mad at the insurance because it did not pay anything when she was out. How do we get so confused and mad when we have not followed through to make things happen or our attitude blocks our understanding to make a difference? Her understanding of her situation was blocked by her lack of knowledge. The insurance could only help when she followed its rules.
Maybe I just think sometimes that you would not have to suffer if you would just put your big girl panties on and wise up. However, I realized today from another employee that some people don't have the same big girl panties. One person's panties have been fashioned by their experience and the other person's panties have been designed by their experience - family wounds, generational curses, and their own sin. But today this employee did choose life and I'm very proud of her. In the moment of discouragement, suffering, and sadness. She chose to not let her circumstance, her suffering control her life and she kept walking forward into life. I'm very proud of her. Her big girl panties just got stronger.
