Jumping right into the &#8216;conference season&#8217; means I have a lot of work ahead of me.  And there are things that should have been addressed a while ago, but there was no catering manager so I&#8217;m dealing with it now.  Despite all that I feel good about being back.  It&#8217;s nice to come back in a role where I can make more of a difference.  Everyone says they&#8217;re really glad to have me back (which makes me feel good).  It&#8217;s very challenging in the hospitality industry now because of the labour shortage.  We&#8217;re short-staffed (just like every other hotel) and morale in certain departments is pretty low.  I was wondering whether, like Esther, I&#8217;m here in this role for &#8216;such a time as this&#8217;, to shine God&#8217;s light in the darkness.   I pray He will use me for His purpose.<\/p>\n<p>So life has been pretty busy, plus I worked all last weekend (Partylite and a Bridal Show).  I&#8217;ve been trying to take it easy this weekend but 3 of the 5 members of our family are sick with colds (me included).  No profound thoughts at this time.  I&#8217;ve been reading 1 &amp; 2 Peter.  My desire is to follow God out of my comfort zone, to BELIEVE Him, and to grow in love for others.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s all for now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well I&#8217;ve been back to the hotel for two weeks and I am swamped!
