Hello again Maranath Media friends, weâve been apart for some time, but it is a joy to chat with you again. I have found a job (in sales) *sigh* which I had been praying for, for awhile now and I see now that God was asking me to be patient, in order for me to learn what was needed to enter into this field of work. I spend a lot of time speaking about motivation, value, and worth, to my managers and co-workers who all enjoy it, which gives me pleasure when I get to share what I am learning. When I speak, a manager might ask aloud âwhatâs Randy preaching about nowâ which cracks me up, I donât mean to preach, but like Pringles âOnce I pop, I canât stopâ lol. So on Tuesday, things were not looking so good for me, yet I was not concerned, my manager came up to me and asked if I had any appointments for the following day, to which I replied, âa fewâ she said that a few wouldnât cut it and I told her not to worry that God had it under control, she gave me a funny look and asked âyouâve never failed?â I answered ânot with Him at my side.â Then she said âwell lets see Him come through tomorrowâ I smiled and told her âsure.â
That night I went home and my dad and wife to pray that God would show up in such a way that would begin to open my managerâs heart to Christ. Well, that morning all was great, I had a sale and it was closed for me before I got to work, I was like âstarting early God! awesomeâ thenâŠnothing, just great, but I was not worried in the least, I felt as though I was being tested, as if God was seeing if I would REALLY trusted Him. Then, the flood gates opened, we didnât have enough staff to see everyone HAHA, I thought âkeep em coming,â people we calling their friends to come in and they would show up like âUmmm, I was told to come and see Randy, is he available?â It was incredible, I sat and spoke to a gentleman about my age, in length, about the love of Christ and the Identity System (I even gave him a book) he was so thankful and I later found out that he does the Public Relations for AAA and he was telling me how he speaks to millions of people and is on TV, he gave me his card with his personal cell and email and said âI donât know if I can do anything for you, but if I can please callâ I almost leapt out of my seat, not because I had this influential personâs card, but because God gave me the opportunity to share His love and blessing with another, which I ask him to do each day. But hereâs the kicker, at the end of my day I went to my manager and asked âso, how did we do?â She said we did so well that it could tide us for the rest of the week, I started laughing, she looked puzzled, I said âI told youâ she stayed staring wide-eyed in disbelief , I told her âhe is always waiting to answer when we call,â she asked where was He yesterday I replied âright here, the problem is we try to solve it ourselves instead of taking it to the Lord.â She just sat there for a moment looking at me as if to say âare you serious?â I just reiterated that she spend some time with Him and see for yourself He said âTaste and see that I am good, yes, good in every way, in every experience of your soul, in every night of the soulâ (Psalms 34:8.
Thank you Abba, for showing up in a mighty way today as you do every day
Till next time Godheads, stay prayed up J
