Regret

Dear Friends,

As many of you know, today was my last day at Steak n Shake. Although I did indeed love my job as a waitress, I would be lying to say that I was sad to leave today. I truly enjoy the people interaction that I got as a waitress. I loved serving people, giving them what they asked for, and making them smile. However, I did not always agree with everything that happened in the back. Not that I'm saying anything against Steak n Shake corporation. I just did not always get along with my coworkers. They had all been friends long before I was there, they all were at a different stages at life, and they lived a lifestyle that I simply could not relate with.
All this not to complain, but rather to provide some background for rest of this blog. Today was one of the worst days that I had there. I was fairly tired and we were understaffed. The stress of the day was building throughout the day and it was tough. It was not the kind of last day that I had foreseen. So when I was finally able to go home I was ecstatic. But...after being home for awhile, thinking about today and my year and a half at SnS I started to get upset.
I spent a year and a half with these coworkers...but never did I share the gospel with them. They knew I was 'religious'. The often made comments about how 'innocent' or 'good' I was, but I am not just a 'good religious person...I have a personal relationship with the Almighty Creator God. What a waste of my time! A year and a half of wasted relationships. Sure there were some hard days, some much harder than others. There were many times that I got very frustrated with those I worked with, however there is not one of them that I would want to live or die without knowing the good news. I was not very close with them, but I had chances.
I pray that I will not ever again look back on a year and a half of my life and feel the regret that I have now. My prayer is that I will be able to live my life in a way that declares the Truth, and that the Holy Spirit will give me the courage to verbally lay out the Gospel when He leads.

In Christ,
Hannah
