Reflections on Work Life

For me, adjusting from college life to work life was hard.  It took me four months to wake up in the morning on a weekday and not immediately think, "Lord, I really don't want to go to work today."  And that was with a no-stress training period, an understanding manager, and absolutely nothing to complain about. 

Why?  Why did I have such a difficult time?  It would not be an oversimplification to say my grief was due to my poor theology of work.  I didn't think rightly about work because I had a wrong framework for working as a Christian.  Sure, I had thought about it a few times in the context of school, but I had not figured out how to glorify God with my life when most of my waking hours are spent doing inherently 'unspiritual' things.  I needed a better understanding of Scripture.
