Beautiful Gratitude

Romans 8:28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

This is the words God spoke to me today. What does this mean to me? EVERYTHING. I am VERY humbled when I say this, a lot of time I think what do I have to do to get something out of this. I have this amazing job that I have had for going on 3 years. I know God puts us where He needs us to be. I have thought many days God why am I here at my job? Racking my brain searching for my purpose at that job. Always coming up short.

About a month ago my boss put her notice in. I was shocked! This makes the 4th person to put their notice in, in a short amount of time..maybe 3 weeks. What does everyone know that I don't? But anyway today was my boss' last day. I was sad most of the day. She is an amazing boss, a very strong women of faith.

She sent out "the e-mail" of saying she's had a good time etc and where she is going to, etc. When I read her e-mail it hits me!

I wasn't put here to teach anyone. My purpose at this job isn't to do, it's to learn! If you know what I do in this position, I teach school age kids about science, water cycle, water conservation, etc. So I am in the mind set that God put me in this position to change a life. NO! I have been thinking wrong this whole time! I am a student total opposite of what I thought! Talk about running into a brick wall.

Then He reveals it..I have always had patience. ALWAYS! Up until I had Sami, then ALL my patience went out the door. It took my very patient and caring boss to leave for me to realize this. She has taught me soo much about these two things! God placed me in this position to learn from her and I guess I wasn't getting it so he rocked my world and took her out! I am glad I had the short time to learn and work under her. I am very grateful for what she has taught me. I have always said God works in mysterious ways to me.

Ok God I am back in the game, what position are you going to put me in now?

Are you in the game? What position is God calling you to be in? Student or Teacher?

Thankfully Back in the Game,
Patty
