The 23rd Psalm For the Workplace
As I'm finishing up my resume, this was a good reminder sent to me by my co-worker:
The Lord is my real Boss and I shall not want.
He gives me peace, when chaos is all around me.
He gently reminds me to pray before I speak
and to do all things without murmuring and complaining.
He reminds me that He is my Source and not my job.
He restores my sanity everyday and guides my decisions
that I might honor Him in everything I do.
Even though I face absurd amounts of email, system crashes,
unrealistic deadlines, budget cutbacks,
gossiping co-workers, discriminating supervisors,
and a struggling body that doesn't cooperate every morning,
I will not stop - for He is with me!
His presence, His peace and His power will see me through.
He raises me up, even when they fail to promote.
He claims me as His own,
even when the company threatens to let me go.
His faithfulness and love are better than any bonus check,
and His retirement plan beats every 401K there is!
When it's all said and done,
I'll be working for Him a whole lot longer
and for that, I bless His Name.

Gosh, what a rebuke to me! Lately, I've had such a bad attitude at work. I have this co-worker that is supremely irritating and I know I haven't been behaving in a godly way. I have to learn to hold my tongue and stop gossiping and saying slanderous things about her. I really need to get pass this...
Love it! What a great reminder. It's so hard because you get caught up in the craziness of work and the job and you forget who you really are. I was just reminded last week that my identity is in Christ.
Ihna, could you email me or call me? ychang@hyatt.com
I tried to email you but didn't go through.
