Members robmac68 Posted June 6, 2014 Members Share Posted June 6, 2014 I was just replying to a thread about pastors I enjoy lisenting to. I noticed I stated I listened to a preacher for several hours at work yesterday. I just want to praise God for my jOB!! I believe with all my heart that this jOB is solely from His blessing on my life. I back slid for years and my fellow employees at my last jOB saw many bad sides and sin that I did. I had friends there and we would get into all sorts of sinful things. When my daughter was born, I looked at my life and realized I am not the Christian witness my daughter needed me to be. I wanted my children to be dedicated to God and if I wasn't myself, how could they be? So I started back to church. I really started relying on God to direct my life. I knew I had to quit my old jOB just because I knew I ruined any testimony I ever hoped to have and also I had to separate from my old lifestyle. It would be hard to do if I was working with all my buddies I would hang out with. I prayed and prayed and it took a few months and a healthy paycut, but I put my faith in the Lord and He took care of me. I have the best jOB where I can spend hours reading and studying God's Word. I have great benefits. I have an absolutely wonderful schedule. I am just now at the rate of pay I was at when I left my old jOB 8 years ago, but I do not miss the money. God has been providing and I just praise Him and praise Him. I can't praise Him enough for all the blessings in my life. And I praise Him for the struggles in life, too.

Members The Glory Land Posted June 6, 2014 Members Share Posted June 6, 2014 i took a bartender class, I was going to be a bartender to earn extra money many years ago. Never did this type of work after I took the class. But there are some jOBs that Christians need not to do. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
