Too many questions?

I had one of those fabulous days today when you see people do things and you wonder, how is this even possible? Ha...
And after the day is said and done, the only thing that comes to mind is...well, I will SOMEHOW find it in, to forget that and love that person anyways, a complete stranger.
And actually, this situation, this person, who I was just in awe of how this situation could get more frustrating and complicated and plain ANNOYING...made me actually learn something from it today.
First off, thank you Jesus for that

So here it is, the wonderful, fabulous day of mine.
Basically, I worked 9:30am-7:30pm today, with no break what-so-over. Reason, there were only 2 of us scheduled today at work and when you are as busy as we were today that means you really can't do anything about, but suck it up and keep working. And that is just what me and my co-worker did today.
What didn't help our crazy day, was crazy people! I laugh now and THINK that possibly our day could have gone a little smoother or better had these 3 things not happened, right in a row.

First of all, I had a lady ask if we could shorten her jeans. Really, now we are seamstress? But what she really meant, was to get them shipped back and shorted and then shipped back to the store? really? really? did I just hear that right? We did some other things with this lady to see if we could "find her size", but nothing was working for that either...and on top of this, we were SWAMPED with other customers. Not that I didn't have the time for this customer, but I just was in awe of the requests that were asked...when clearly this lady could see we were busy.

Then...RIGHT after that, right after I thought I escaped a messy situation...another lady asks if we can special order some things. Thankfully, that one was manageable, but still VERY time consuming.
Then...RIGHT after that, ANOTHER one is wondering about a different size and wondering if we can ship in a different size. I thought, really? How am I getting ALL of these!! really? I was about ready to just scream at that point...because I felt like I was barely able to tread my water around the cash registers with everyone else too.
And THAT one, was the kicker for me today. This lady, with ONE pair of capris, managed to ask about 15 questions and had different issues on top of that WITH this ONE pair of capris. How is this even possible. O believe me...it was done.
First, she wanted to see if we could even special order then, then she wondered if they came in different colors, then she wondered what size was best, then she wanted to know if that TYPE of style was anywhere else in the store, so she could SEE what size she would even need to order, then we managed to walk around the entire store showing here every other possible capri in the store only to have her ask, "so there are no other ones?" I wanted to say so bad, "o yeah, we have a secret store in the ground that we keep THOSE at!" But I managed somehow to keep my cool. And just said, no sorry, that is ALL we have (about 20 different ones in the store). So then we go back to the register and I had already given her about 3 other options for her with these ONE pair of capri's And once again came the questions. And SO THEN when we finally started checking her stuff out, more questions came. I just thought, really? is this person EVER going to go away and UNDERSTAND that what I am saying, is just really what is true?
blah blah blah, more happened...and in the end, she ended up complete questioning HOW I rang her up! I thought, you've GOT to be kidding, now I can't ring her up right?!
Finally my other associate stepped in and tried to bring some sense to this whole thing, and still didn't really work. I really even now, don't know how it all ended. I know we finished, but I don't remember how we got there.

As I've been thinking tonight about my lovely long day I've had. That is when it came to me...Each one of these ladies needed some help. Yes. Each one of them had a special request that they CAME to me FOR. Yes. There were other people in the store, yes, and did they need those "special" requests? No, or maybe they just didn't KNOW they could ask.
Where I am going with this..
Well, take it this way...
In our Christian walk, in this "religious talk", SOME of us go to God with this "special request" and ask of Him some help or some guidance to what they are really seeking out. Some of us try to get to the bottom of things to understand what life is about...just like those ladies. They were trying to get to the bottom of things to see what we could OFFER them. Sometimes those requests may seem strange (like the lady that wanted us to hem her pants), and we look like "what, is that even being asked". And others, maybe a simple request and is an easy one to "handle". Then other requests might take longer to dig through and to help with. But they are still asking and seeking. And God is ALWAYS there. He doesn't react how I DID today...and just want to get rid of these people because the situation TOOK TOO LONG or was too many questions and too complicated. NO, God takes His TIME with EACH one of us no matter what requests or questions we may have. And not only that, He gets thousands upon thousands of millions requests daily...and even who knows how many. He handles them ALL at the same time. He cares SO MUCH about us that He takes that time to help us figure those situations out, those questions He answers! How else in this life cares that much about you? I can't think of anyone that would be THAT BUSY and STILL be listening to ALL my struggles and frustrations and all my questions about life! But I know I can always count on God!
Isn't that interesting to think about? That He never wants to get rid of you, or never lets the fact that He has many other people to help in this world, that He takes that time WITH YOU, and YOU PERSONALLY?
Do you have that kind of relationship with God? You can? He is always going to be there you, in all those situations. When you have so many questions about life or about something, you can ask so many different ODD questions and that won't matter...HE will STILL help you and have time for you.
I don't know about you...but I'd rather have God in my life, than someone like ME, who gets flustered and annoyed when those things happen.

O Lord Jesus, I sit here wanting to weep, because I feel like I could take more time...more time to love people. I know I'm NOT GOD or can care for people like you do...but what I do know is, that my attitude could be different towards it. I could look at today and see that I need to realize that person is my main focus as that time, and whatever else is going on...still be aware, but focus on them and give them the attention that they are looking for. Just like so many of us look for in someone...and all we need to do is turn to YOU for that attention. O Lord, I pray that people can see this and realize that all they need for attention is you! And not only that Lord, but I pray that those people, EVEN me, that we would come to you with ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING, big or small, one question or a million questions. That we wouldn't be afraid to SEEK YOU OUT!!

Thank You for the love and care you show us all. Thank you for showing me this today and the many other things that I just can't even express right now!
I pray you continue to dig deep into my life to reveal these things to me.
Wow...
