The other day I was leaving a friend's house, and as I was walking out the door I jokingly commented "gotta get home now, workin' for the man in the morning!...oh wait, I DO work for THE MAN!". We all started cracking up because, well, I do! This wonderful opportunity working for my church has already offered more than I ever thought possible from a J-O-B. It's only been 2 months and I've already discovered:
- Fulfillment: I'm working towards something I believe in, and I'm helping others achieve purpose and a better life.
- Love: This is an answer to prayer really. I wanted to understand how to love others as Jesus does. Essentially shaping my heart to be more like His. I'm learning this and seeing it in action and experiencing the overflow of love our church has for others lives. AND it's not a superficial love! These people all genuinely CARE about each other, and I in turn care about each of them! There can't be many work-places out there that are like this.
Working for "The Man" has turned out to be one of the best decisions I've made yet. I know over the months to come there will be lots of personal and spiritual growth, and my work/church family will walk with me every step of the way showering me with encouragement.
Thank you Lord for bringing this opportunity into my life!
