Superhero

WHAT A DAY!!!

It all started heavy and full of complications, but its amazing when you choose to have a good attitude about it!
Today i had to make a hard decision about moving to the other half of our department,where it was more challenging and a lot of focus and attention to detail needed.the Logistics department!!
It was difficult but i prayed not long ago for the Lord to give me somehting that will reveal to me my abilities and talents as he purposed. I wanted to push myself and see how i go, reading about my SHAPE in The purpose driven life opened my eyes at just how complacent i can be,,,because i wasnt sure what my talents were, and what my God given abilities were.
so i asked...and as the Lord does, ever so faithful and true, he answers.One of my staff members who introduced me to this book is in this logistics section and i have been trying to find a way to connect with her...now she reports to me and we will be working very closely in the many projects ahead, basically she will be my right hand woman...and I am on my way to witness to others that dont know much about Jesus and what its like to have him in ones life. My current team are sad and sorry to give me up but i know right now, I must follow after the lord and what he wants me to do and where he wants me to be. 2 years ago of course, i would rather have quit than be transferred to the Logistics dept!

then just as i thought it was all too sad and scary, i get a call from 106.5 one of our major radio stations and asked me for my address at work so they can drop off my prizes as I have won an award..of course i freaked out and said "what award?" after much screaming and about a 100 "oh my goodness" i finally had to put the phone down, walk out the door and there they were..the 106.5 van with the radio blasting through with a huge cheq of $2000 and plenty of snacks, a huge torphy, tshirt and cap and a 5 sec of fame on the radio!!!
aaaaaaaaggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

It turns out I was nominated by my team for the "WORKPLACE SUPERHERO AWARD 2005" and I won!!!! Thats why they werent surprised when i screamed my head off saying " its 106.5,its 106.5"
I will always remember this surprise because it was a real surprise... i had no inkling of any sort whatsoever because I was so taken up by the complications of the morning!!

The amazing thing tho is not the award, its the hand of God in it all.

I have just started tithing and putting the Lord first in my finances, he knew it was a struggle for me, and it was a leap of faith i had to commit to, with all the weddings in our family this year, he knew i was stretching my budget to the limit and i went solely on his promise"that he will open up the gates of heaven and pour out his blessings if i give him my first fruits, and my best" With a major change happening next year as well he made some things possible through this financial reward, just by me choosing to live the life he pre-destined me to live. This is to me just a glimpse of how faithful the Lord is! Imagine him when we actually start doing the big things??

He is a God of awesome wonders and i thank him for my team and this blessing of working with great people. Im thankful that i can be a blessing to others and i thank him for bringing others in my life to be a blessing to me!To him be ALL the Glory, because his favour goes before me and his word never fails. It is him that has made all this possible!
I have new challenges ahead, with a new focus and new plan, I have no doubt God will take me through it because he brought me to it!!!!!
