As 2023 comes to a close I am beyond grateful for working for a company like Wings Healthcare. I am amazed on how the Lord has blessed me, my colleagues, and the industry as a whole on how he uses this company to help our clients with thier issues in the healthcare sector to better take care of their patients. This was my best year ever in my career. I prayed to the Lord earlier this year that I would reach my personal monetary goal and not only did I reach it, I supassed that goal. Never in my wildest dreams I would think I could attain this goal I set for myself ever in my lifetime. Years prior I never would put the Lord first in my life and was even ashamed or did not really care at all to put him first before I became a Christian or early in my walk. As a result of this, I was extremely bitter, struggling, and angry and blamed others and circumstances for my issues in the past. I would even get upset when people brought up the Lord way back then but the Lord refused to give up on me. Over the years he helped me refine me by putting me through the school of hard knocks. I took on management jobs, billing, telemarketing, and working custodial jobs to help make ends meet. I was told by some people I would not make it in my career. I always would wonder why “Lord are you doing this to me?” The Lord knew what he was doing by preparing me to help others. One of my favorite verses I have is Proverbs 3:5-6 “Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths” I literally every day meditate on this verse when I am tempted to think things are not going right and this has given me me considerable joy with a great attitude.I am not saying that there will be trials in life, but to acknowledge that the Lord has ordained them and uses them for our benefit and his glory. I am not posting this to glorify myself, but I am posting this as a prayer to the Lord to make me an example to encourage others to be bold yet humble in telling others about Christ. Merry Christmas and happy holidays to you and in all sincerity I pray to Lord for those struggling and despairing in the job market. He is faithful and will meet your needs please come to him and trust him and as a result, “he will do it…” 1 Thessalonians 5:24 Isaiah 46:11
Praise God!
