Get to.

"You're fine."

"Oh, Laurissa, you'll be alright."

"Can't you see the Lord's hand here?"


Right. People have said these phrases over and over and over, and they are beginning to fine a way into my heart.

When we say we are not ok, are we just complaining? Well for me, yes. Most of the time. Those little tasks I don't want to do, like vacuum or grade an entire stack of papers.

But, how about I look at it this way: I get to. I get to vacuum a floor that I pay rent for, and I get to grade a stack of papers from 27 unique freshmen.

That's it. That's all I have.

Why don't we start saying, "I get to" rather than, "I have to"?

Riddle me that.
