A New Decade is upon us and it is up to us to choose our destination or is it?

I have been a Christian for just over 3 years and find struggles each and every month of my life.  However, I realize that God has purpose for each of these trials.  For instance, when you have put God to the test yourself at one time he will only make you feel like you win but, always places choice within the "Good News".  Here is a true story that happened to me last Decade.

I was working in my past job and hated jealousy was upon me.  Why are my co-workers going places and moving up that corporate ladder and I'm not?  I decided to apply also and was rejected 3 times in a row wonder what the heck?  I have the qualifications and my work ethics are fantastic. 

"Ok God, if you don't want me to have this job then I will do it myself". 

I applied for a job and really sold myself.  A job that paid $2.50/hour more and had the job given to me without any questions asked.  "Hah!!!"  I told God there told you I could do it without your help.  That was the start of such a difficult time in my life. 

Before I took the job I asked if I could have the weekend to talk it over with my wife?  They stated no problem.  I discussed it with my wife and told her how unhappy I was feeling and didn't understand why?  When I was given such a great opportunity for more money and better hours.  She left it with me to decide and pray upon.  Pray like that was going to do any good since he never gave me the opportunity to move up the ladder when I really wanted to.  I took her suggestion and in my heart God stated to me, "You didn't need me then, why do you need me now?"  "The choice is yours my Son."  

After understanding I did this for every wrong reason I decided not to take the position and stated to God, "I'm sorry for not trusting you and your Guidance in my life."  

I stayed in my position and was offered a Lead position not only 3 months later.  After that, in only 9 months later I was given the opportunity to move on to a Management position in my background of Pharmacy.  I trusted the Lord and let him be my teacher and Father.  I have been so Blessed knowing that I can share my great rewards for those that truly need Inspiration.  

Whenever you think things are not going your way or you just don't see the pot of gold at the other side of the rainbow.  Lean and trust more in God.  Talk to him and let him know your struggles and desires.  He wants to bless you in more than you really deserve.

I this new Decade of 2010 let God reign in the highest and show you just what he can do for you!!!

 

Blessings and Love,
