HAPPY FRIDAY Boys and Girls!!!
Sorry this is alittle late everyone…things are real busy here at the job. Better late than never.
So I wanted to share alittle bit of a testimony with you all, so this may end up being a long read, as well as a bit spiritual.
For the past 11 years, I’ve been chasing a dream…a career goal of mine. I won’t get into specifics as its not important. This career goal of mine was contingent upon certain things to be in place. On Monday I got word that those criteria were met and that I can proceed with entering into my career field.
Let me tell you this….it wasn’t easy. I had to take crap jobs, bullshirt pay, and bad management and co-workers to get where I’m at. And as soon as I would move up, something seemed to try to tear me down. I’ve been at places where management seemed to not give a crap about you and your goals and I’ve also been in a situation, not too long ago, where my current position was threatened (this actually happened twice). The events surrounding this motivated me to get moving and to not be afraid to step out on faith. So I put it all on the line…and it was a long year to wait for the green light.
I say these things because I read people’s posts, here on AGO. I see people going through things, whether it be an office complex that challenges you and questions your insurance coverage, or that customer who tries to screw you. I’ve also read people who are trying to break into the detailing business but face obstacles. I say to these folks…DON’T GIVE UP!!! Keep pushing!!!
While I was waiting this past year for the green light, I became impatient. I found myself wanting to just give up and move on to something else completely, at times I also doubted myself. But I kept my faith and I stood in prayer. Someone once told me to speak my hearts desires to the Lord and you shall receive it. The devil is a liar and will whisper things in your ear. Things that will make you afraid or tell you you ain’t good enough. Don’t listen to him! Stay encouraged and stay grounded in your faith. And for those that are going through a storm…I promise it won’t last long.
That said…Happy Friday everyone!!!
P.S. Do I have any takers to take over the Happy Friday threads for the next three weeks? I’ll be out for my upcoming wedding and honeymoon. Next week is my bachelor’s party, the following weekend I get married, and that following week we leave for our cruise. I need someone to keep the Happy Friday threads going until I get back.
