Note: This is part 3 of a 4 part series entitled “When God Closes Doors”. As I walked into the door of my first day of orientation at an EMS agency, I was both excited and nervous. Excited because I knew I was where God needed me. I was in essence starting the job I had dreamed about doing since
Note: This is part 2 of a 4 part series entitled “When God Closes Doors”. When I interviewed with the owner of the company for my next job, the thing I was most impressed with was his openness to share his strong faith in Christ, which in many ways was in stark contrast to my own faith. Four years prior
Note: This is part 1 of a 4 part series entitled “When God Closes Doors”. Over the course of climbing the career ladder, I have often been stuck between the questions: 1. Am I quitting just shy of the blessing God has in store for me on the other side of my endurance? or 2. Is God trying to tell
What someone says about you behind your back says more about them than it does about you. How you respond when you find out says more about you than it does about them. I have had to remind myself of those words multiple times throughout my life. This week was no different. I had several people tell me about an
“Where do you see yourself in the next five to ten years?” I ask that question of others daily as a recruiter, but it’s been a while since I’ve taken the time to ponder the answer myself. The majority of the people I talk to in their 30s or 40s don’t have an answer. The younger ones sometimes do. Usually
We’ve all been there—standing in a slow-moving line, struggling to navigate a confusing website, or feeling frustrated by a complicated return process. Hassle and unnecessary effort aren’t just inconvenient; they’re often enough to make us walk away. As business owners, we don’t like dealing with extra work and stress, so why should we expect our customers to? Have you ever
“You can pass all the laws, but you can’t pass a law that will create morality in a man’s heart.” Those words from Pastor Rodney Thomas have been on my heart this week as I have scrolled news sites and social media and have seen everything from the plethora of calls for gun reform to questions on law enforcement response.
To all the parents out there who got to go to your kiddos award ceremony across various schools today and post pictures of their awards and celebrate their end of year success … congratulations!! Super proud (and envious of you). To the parents who didn’t even know there was an end of year award ceremony today and whose week went
I have a problem saying “No”. I have a problem taking on other people’s problems or projects. I have a strong tendency to put work first, family second, and God last. That’s completely backwards …I know. And that’s the problem. I know. I know that every “Yes” I give out is a “No” to something else. Overtime, those things I
How much thought have you ever given to the word “but”? I have pondered the word “But…” a lot this week. It’s a fascinating world really! On the whiteboard in our Connect Group at Trinity Baptist Church on Sunday morning, Josh Mudford had three letters written “BUT”. He said “but” is one of his favorite words in the Bible because
