sick little girl

I have a prayer request for my daughter Abbie. She's been sick for the last week and she just doesn't seem to be getting over it. It started with a fever that just wouldn't go away. We took her to the doctors but they didn't really do anything for her. She won't eat which worries me. She really hasn't had much to eat in the last week at all. I can get her to drink some milk but that's about it. At times she'll seem to be doing better but then it's like she uses so much energy that she falls back to square one. Just keep her in your prayers.

secretary/listener

Sometimes I feel like my job is more than being the church secretary/office manager. I have had to learn to become a very good listener. Being here at the church people will often stop by just to talk to someone. Most of the time that I am here I am the only one here so I become the ear that they need. I have also become the ear for my boss. It's nice that he feels comfortable coming to me when he needs to just get something off his chest. He shares things with me and values my opinion on things also.
I have to say that I have not always been the best listener or the most compassionate person. I don't know if it's age/maturity that has changed that or what. I guess you could say that I've grown up some since becoming a parent. I'm still learning but it's a good start.
