Long Hours at Work= Manna From Heaven
Greetings,
It has been quite awhile since I posted on here but overtime at
the coin vault has kept me away from this and my Newberry
storyblog. Been at my parents' house one Saturday to assist
with a slight plumbing issue and the weekends after that I
spent on my model kits and church.
Now in regard to the overtime at work that I just mentioned,
most would probably murmur and complain about the long
hours and I can understand that, especially if one has a family.
But to me it has been a blessing in disguise as it has helped me
with certain financial issues due to some medical bills and some
automotive issues. Yes, more is taken out in taxes and going to
a bi-weekly pay period has made it a bit tight if not inconvenient
but to me it's been like manna from heaven as I have had more
disposable income than before and that has helped with the bills
I mentioned and not only that, could save more as well. I won't
say I'm rolling in dough, but I will say that I am rolling in God's
blessings and these blessings are for a reason. God honors it
when we pay our debts. He knew my situation and I believe
this is His answer. He does as it is written in Phillipians 4:19:
"My God shall supply all your need according to His
riches and glory by Christ Jesus."
And it is to God that I give the glory to because He has
allowed it. Our branch has gone through some changes
and we lost three managers due to some issues that
were discovered but the rest of us as well as myself
are still there and it looks promising. I myself had to
make a few adjustments in what I did but if that's what
it will take for the branch here in Cincinnati to go forward,
I'll take the change anytime.
I now do what I thought I'd never do and that's heading
to the gym early in the morning so as to not be out too late
what with the longer hours. I need my exercise as well.
Here's a verse from 3 John:2:
"I pray that your soul prospers in all things and
be in health, just as your soul prospers."
It was my prayers and the prayers of others that have
been a blessing as well and He has certainly answered
them according to His riches and glory. And I thank
you all who have prayed for me and I ask that you please
continue to do so.
I am working nine-and-half hours through next week to
keep our orders filled and keeping in mind that all this is
a blessing from the Lord is what keeps me going.
I leave you with this verse from Deuteronomy 28:12:
"The Lord will open the heavens, the storehouse of
His bounty, to send rain on your land in season and
to bless all the work of your hands."
Have a blessed day.
