My Job

I am blessed to work for my company. It was totally God. When my husband and I split I was pregnant with our 3rd child. I worked in a secretarial type position and didn't make much money. Even though I wasn't commited to God at that point in my life, He worked an amazing courage in me to quit my job and go to school to make a better life for my family. He brought me to a part time position that would eventually turn full time when I finished school. I am now making more than 3 times what I did when I first started my full time position - after 12 years. God is amazing and good.

My company, which is privately owned, has recently (in the last few years) come to a place where they started adding prayer to corporate meetings. We can see how God has gained an increasing importance in the company values. Near the end of last year they started holding a morning prayer meeting for any who want to join. Just amazing. All this makes me proud to work for this company.

But.. I had grown increasingly dissatisfied in my job. I have loved what I do (I am a developer), but the last few years my desire has been growing more towards wanting to make a difference for people. At one point I became so dissatisfied that it was painful to go to work. I think I have accepted that I am where I am until God opens doors to go elsewhere, but I have such a desire to commit myself in service to others. I am trying to find a way to do it outside of my job, but I also have other responsibilities and wonder if I just need to focus on finishing raising my youngest, although she stays in her room 99% of the time and would probably benefit from me getting involved, and hopefully her as well, in bettering the lives of others.
