I am grateful that I was able to get to sleep last night without losing sleep over the incident that happened yesterday.
When I woke up this morning I thought of it right away and started to have desolate feelings. But I was instantly aware of this and set about my spiritual activities in earnest. God was very present for me this morning. I am overwhelmed with gratitude at the way that God has comforted me today.

I had some ups and downs this morning but I had some epiphenies and spiritual growth spurts as that are blowing my low spots out of the water.
I had a hard time being motivated to work in the morning.
At times I thought about just quitting.
I realized that I had made another mistake that could have been seen as major and could cost me my job.
I was very afraid again.
I thought about why I was afraid.
I was seeing things with my limited vision.
I remembered how I thought in the morning about how God has always provided for me.
I thought about psalm 23.
I thought today of how much more important my role as a spiritual worker is in God's kingdom than my worldly job.
I thought about what an opportunity this is to demonstrate God's omnipotence.
I found desire to break my worldly and sensual dependencies.
Later in the day I receieved an email that seemed to indicate the incident had come in under the radar.
My Boss singled me out in front of the group as a lone success on a particular task today. This was a poignient moment for me.
I made it through the day and felt a great sense of recovery.

I made a couple of calls to some of my fellows in recovery on the way home.

My wife was very supportive and loving to me again this evening, this is HUGE to me.

I got to do our evening family activities and I again found solace in my vocation as a father.

Thanks be to God for this day and this life.
