Wow what a long day. With this being a short week today I was hoping for an easy week boy was I wrong. Today was a lot of work and big headaches that took extra time to work on. A coworker from Charlotte called around 4:30 and need 2 bills rated correctly like yesterday. So as I am working trying to audit these 2 bills she is telling me how thankful she was to have me to work with when she needed things done in a hurry. I laugh and said OH anyone of us in my department can do it. At that point she said no I was the only one that would work with her and that she didn’t know what she would do without me. I told her well in 5 months you will know. WHAT came from her next and I explained that my department was getting laid off and our last day was March 30. She was very upset and asks me what I was going to do and I just explain that I did not know yet that God had not revealed that part of his plan to me. But I sure that it was be grand whatever it is. I could tell by her voice she was smiling and she said I knew you were a Christian and we have never really met each other in person. I ask how and she said it showed in my voice and my work. By this point I was almost in tears as I though Yeah I am doing what God wants; but will be leaving behind someone that will really need some help someday down the road and I won’t be there. So I know my prayer will be for the coworkers I will be leaving behind in 131 days as they will be over worked and very much underpaid. As well as prayers for all of the others that will be laid off with me. I know God has great thinks planned for us as my faith in God reassures me of this; but I wonder about those who don’t have the faith in God how they are getting through this storm.
So I will go back tomorrow and the next 131 days and give it my all regardless if I am upset with my company for their decisions they have made. Why because I want to do everything I do for the glory of the one who made me. “God” as that is what Steven Curtis Chapman has also taught me.
