So on Saturday I worked and I had my one year evaluation. I was a solid performer in every area except for in the areas of customer service and adaptability I exceeded expectations. So starting next month I will be getting a raise which is great! So even though I don't have the job I thought I would at this point in my life, at least I am doing well where I am at. I am blooming where I am planted and God is blessing me for being His servant.
Lately He has been teaching me about contentment and finding satisfaction in Him alone and I am glad. I have accepted the fact that He has me where I am at in my life for a reason. And if He decides to take me to another job or another place in life that will be fine as long as I am where He wants me to be. I am trying to become less concerned with how the world views me, my life, my job, my skills, my education, my background, and my appearance.
Instead, I am trying to become more concerned with how God views me and my actions. I am trying to learn to be a courageous, strong, and faithful witness to others in the world and not worry about what they think of me. We only have one chance to be the light of Christ on this earth to others. So why would you waste it worrying about what others think of you?
I know I don't want to waste this life. Do you?
In other news, I have continued following a healthy diet and doing some regular exercise since the new year. And now I have finally lost a few pounds! I am so excited and encouraged to be heading in a positive direction in my life right now. I feel that God has some great things in store for me this year and that I had to go through the dark and rough days last year to grow closer in my faith to Him.
He has been teaching me some important lessons that my stubbornness, ego, and hardheaded self really needed to learn. He is humbling me each day. Even though it can be hard and annoying at times, I know I need it in the long run. Thanks Lord for everything You are teaching me and working on in my life. I would be lost without You.
Love,
Your Servant
