I have an extensive corporate background. I was in management, with people reporting to me. I had budget responsibilities, projects I managed, and most importantly, I was directly responsible for adding to the company’s bottom line. I was important. I left all this to help my husband start a business.
Last winter, my husband and I decided to close our business and go back to the corporate world. With my background, it should be easy for me to find a job. I quickly found this was not the case. Therefore, I decided to go through a temporary employment agency to get some work while I looked for a “real” job.
One day I found myself working for a company putting stickers on bags. I was throwing a pity party for myself and I had the nerve to invite God, but I am so glad I did. What he said to me was priceless and I want to share it with you.
Thought for the Week: God told me he was teaching me servant leadership. He is the only one I need to impress. I need daily to seek the audience of one. When I am totally in line with Him and his plan for my life, it really does not matter what I am doing. I can touch someone’s life for eternity by being willing to place stickers on a bag.
Matthew 20:20-28
