When God Comes Through For You



You know how some people say it's hard to wait on God to change their situation so they go ahead and help God?

Well I stopped doing that. I stopped being impatient. It was actually a New Year's Resolution for me, to make myself grow comfortable waiting on the Lord.


So, my job was changing. Changing into something I no longer felt comfortable being a part of. I had a talk with Jesus a few months ago, a tearful, heart to heart talk with Him. I told the Lord how I felt, and asked Him was I supposed to leave yet. Now I have learned that God doesn't always answer you right away, and He didn't answer me right away. So that meant, don't quit your job yet! LOL. Fast forward a couple of months after that prayer, and I began worrying, and stressing about my job. I was worried I would be the next one fired because that was happening weekly. I worried so much I got sick and was hospitalized. (Prior to being hospitalized my daughter and son-in-law had talked to me saying "mama you are worrying too much about that job. Just trust God.")


We all know that once you start worrying about something, it's difficult to let it go. But once I was hospitalized, laying in that bed, getting morphine injections every 2 hours for pain, I realized I was living like a foolish person. I know the Lord, why wasn't I trusting Him with my life? When I came home from the hospital I stopped focusing on my job and my daily outcomes. I felt free. Then a couple of weeks after being released from the hospital. I received a call from an employer I had interviewed with. The real is that I interviewed the first time for this position was in 2016, they offered me the position at that time, but I had already started working for the job I'm leaving now. Unfortunately, I had to turn them down. At that time the hiring manager asked me, "are you sure you don't want to come work for us?" We laughed it off and said if it doesn't work out for me, I will surely give you a call. That was in 2016.




The day before I went into the hospital I re-interviewed for the position that I turned down a year ago. Now here is where God comes in. We all know or should know that God goes before us IF you allow Him to lead you. I believe I was going to get fired in April, however I was hospitalized for 3 days, and when I came back to work the following week after being released from the hospital, I had a low blood sugar and began vomiting all over the place. My supervisor was terrified! She drove me straight to the Emergency Room. I wasn't admitted that time, however I went to see the Endocrinologist the next day, who decreased my dosage. (That still didn't help, but that's for another day.) I was off work for 9 days after that episode, leading up to a new month. Anyone in sales knows that it is a month to month sales quota attainment. What you accomplish in April is paid out in May. Well, I didn't meet any of my sales metrics in April and therefore did not bonus for that month. I'm not used to that. I always win!




However, God came into the picture. I had not heard back from the job I interviewed for in April right before my hospitalization. Then one day while at work I received an email from the company I interviewed with. They wanted to know if I would accept an offer of employment with them. I wanted to run up and down the aisle at work and shout old fashioned like those old saints do! But I held it in, and made 6 sales that day for my soon to be old job. LOL. It's amazing what you can do when you are no longer under pressure. I didn't tell anyone yet. Because I still needed to call this new employer. My point is, when you wait on Jesus, He is always on time! Never think he doesn't hear your prayers, He does. He's just working those prayers out to perfection so that you and everyone you share your story with will know that it was nobody but the Lord that brought you through! If you don't know how to wait on the Lord just try one day at a time until it becomes 2nd nature.

I love the Lord, He heard my cry. Thank you for reading.

Article Writing and the Email Marketer

You have got to have an opt-in list if you are an email marketer. There simply is no other choice. After Congress passed the CAN SPAM Act and it became law in 2004, you cannot legally send bulk marketing emails without the express consent of the recipients. If you do, you will be fined heavily. The law provides fines for up to $11,000 per incident. So...there you have it! You either have an opt-in list or you will have to find another way to make a living. One of the best ways to build your opt-in list is to write and market articles. Each time an article that you have written and submitted to an article bank for use by other website owners and ezine publishers, every name on their lists are exposed to a link to your website. If the articles are good and filled with relevant information, they can produce much traffic and many new opt-in subscribers. It isn't hard to write a marketable article. Marketable articles are short...only 300 to 400 words. The key ingredients...

Are You Successful Because of God, or Is It You?

I just read this article published by Marketo, titled: "The God Complex and the Importance of Trial and Error, " written by Jason Miller, it discussed a scenario where a company which wants to make detergent discovers how using a process of trial and error. The gist of the article summizes to create the theory which states do successful people have a God complex in which they refuse to believe, no matter the situation, that their way of thinking, their ideas are wrong regardless of the "complexity of the situation." Let me tell you why that article sticks out to me. I have been marketing successfully and unsuccessfully at times on the internet since 2001. I've had my super successful times as well as times when I've just plain walked away from projects. There was a period where internet marketing programs paid my bills for three years and financed lavish vacations to the Caribbean and other wonderful places many people...
