It's really nice to receive unexpected texts and phone calls. It not only lets you know that you were on someone's mind; but because you were and they took the extra step to let you know, it means that much more. I received both today and enjoyed catching up with an old classmate via text and my two best friends out in California over the phone. I love knowing that people care enough to let me know that I crossed their mind; however, there are other things I also LOVE, like receiving great news and being productive. Progress in any area I put my hands to makes me smile. I jokingly call myself Midas because like King Midas, I have that golden touch.
Day 11: I didn't rest well last night, tossed and turned too much and was distracted in such a way that I only got 4 hours of sleep and had a heavier than usual work load. My coworker is out of state and today I was bombarded with emails and situations that I normally wouldn't handle. It felt good to jump in with both feet and get everything accomplished. Problem solving, customer service and being proactive is instilled in me. It made me remember what I am used to, the person I am used to being. I like being the decision maker, I like management, leadership, and knowing what my role entails. People perish for lack of knowledge and I had begun to feel powerless in my job until today when I was reintroduced to that power through understanding of my position. I love learning and growing; I make investments into myself in some way every year. I love success and bringing people along for the ride. It's my way of leaving a legacy of lives touched and changed after having been in contact with me. I love training people and when I see the results of that training, it makes me extremely happy.
I left work and decided to treat myself to a nail day. Black nails and toenails... I used to do it all the time; but I hadn't in a while. I love them, they are super sexy. Well, I knew I was going home to an empty house because my daughter had a second and third interview today. She came home explaining everything to me and within minutes, she received a phone call for the third interview. When that call was over, she ran in my room to tell me the job was hers!!! Great News and as I celebrated with her, I enjoyed seeing her enthusiasm. It truly is an amazing opportunity and I am so very proud of her. I can represent her well on paper; but she took the meetings, did the ride along and ultimately impressed them in such a way as to secure the job. I love that she is that kind of person... she is MY kind of person.
I prayed for both of us as I left for work this morning. I prayed for God's presence to be seen in and through us today and it was. I never felt closer to Him in my position as I have today and I invite Him in daily. I thrived today... I know that was because I humbled myself, asked questions and found out what I needed to be successful in this day. I found out what I didn't know, was confused about and it ended well for me because knowledge applied is Power. It feels wonderful to actually feel like myself again and it is amazing to watch God open doors or opportunity and blessing for both Ty and I. Her opportunity makes us both excited because that is a tremendous increase. I couldn't expect anything more. GOD is the God of increase, He operates in multiplication more than addition; however, any increase is God given. He add to us and when he does, it is in such a way that we cannot even attempt to take credit for it, we just acknowledge HIS part to play in it all. For every good and perfect gift cometh down from above, from the Father of lights, in whom there is no variableness, neither a shadow of turning. He is the same yesterday, today and forevermore... HE IS VICTORIOUS ALWAYS and when we stay focused on Him, we too are victorious and we stay that way.
Walk in your new found power in this position and watch your market grow. Continue to lift her up and watch as the blessing of the Lord make your daughter rich and adds no sorrow to her. We are both walking in more power than I could have ever thought possible in this particular season. God is so faithful! I really wanted her to work with/for this company and now she does, it is such a major step in a totally different direction and I pray that she thrives there.
To God be the Glory for all of His marvelous works on today... those works He wrought in us, through us, for us and to us. He's a good, good Father and we are loved by HIM and we totally love HIM too. This LOVE it is reciprocal.
Today was a great day... look forward to more of the same.
Signed,
THE ME I AM GOING TO BE
