Sharing Your Cup #5 - Meaningful Labour
I woke this morning on Labour Day making an effort to enjoy my last day of summer break. I return back to work tomorrow to prepare for another year of teaching.
Many of us get up every morning dreading to leave the house to face another day at work. Our labour seems to be taking up too much time and energy for us to really enjoy the things we want to enjoy. But recently I have learned that God intends for us to enjoy the work we do. After nine years of working, I finally sought out God's will for me. Even though my plan for a "better" job was completely different than what he has given me, I realized that for the first time in nine years I am overflowing with excitement and joy when I think about going back to work.
It took nine years of misery for me to have the courage to move with God. It is not easy to make a move but for me it was definitely worth it. How about you? Do you love your work? Can you give thanks and praise for where you work? Or do you need some prayers to help make a change ? Share your story in the comment section, I would love to know and pray for you!
For those who love their job and for those who need encouragement to make a change, I thought you might enjoy this video "Labor Day Inspiration", I really enjoyed it myself:
As well at the end of this month, I will draw a winner from the comment section for this handmade prize:
Every month I send out a little prize/gift to one winner chosen from the comment section (just my way of blessing someone). If you would you like to know the origin of this blog, you can read my first entry Sharing Your Cup. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, I look forward to praying for you.

Hardest Thing You've Been Through This Year - "Sharing Your Cup #4"
I sat in front of my computer on a rainy Sunday afternoon (yes, it is raining in Vancouver) and could not decide what to write for this blog entry. Then it dawned on me that lately I have had the blessing to get to know some new friends after we were asked to share "the hardest thing you've been through in the last year or so."
It might seem like an odd thing to share with strangers, but that night as the 6 of us shared our toughest obstacles, we all realized that we were not alone. It might be that all of our struggles were different, but really we were in the same boat. This world is not an easy place and we were ALL struggling in it together.
Today, I ask you to share something. If you are up for this challenge to open up and share the hardest thing you've been through in the last year or so, you may just find a sense of peace like I did. Leave your story in the comment section and just like the other Sharing Your Cup posts, at the end of the month I will do a random draw from the comments and send out a little gift to brighten up your month! As well, a few other blog friends and I will be praying for you :)
Here is this month's cheer-you-up gift. It is an 8x8 Canvass Frame and a reminder that you are never alone in your struggles when you have GOD & FRIENDS :

Share Your Cup #3
For those of you who are just joining us, welcome! We are a small community of people who pray for each other. Every month I send out a little prize/gift to one winner chosen from the comment section (just my way of blessing someone). If you would you like to know the origin of this blog, you can read my first entry Sharing Your Cup. Please take some time to write a prayer request and know that you never have to go through anything alone. We are here for each other.
This month I want to share a song that caught my attention. I love the tune and the words are so true.
I am looking forward to praying for all of you again. I hope this month some of you will share some Prayer Praises as well. We have been praying for jobs, family members, children, and just for each other in general. If you have a prayer praise, please share that with us.
My prayer praise is that my I did find a job where I feel God can use my gifts to bless people!! Thank you for all your prayers. It was a roller coaster ride for me, but I felt so good to know that I was not alone while searching.
This months little prize is:
