I got that word from Deaf Mission
for Leadership Christian Conference. One
guy inspired me by his story about what happen to him before he arrived to Deaf
Mission.. He got a free ticket to fly because he is best customer that travels,
so the airline company gave him a free trip. He booked his flight, and get on
the plane. There are 2 stops between
the start point and end point, from JAX to Atlantic airport then to OMAHA. That
was his original plan. Later, he flew
down to Atlantic, he missed his next flight because front desk person was
supposed to inform him when it’s time to board on the plane. Apparently, the person forgot about him, so he had to book
another flight which required him to fly to CHICAGO. He was not frustrated because he knew that
God had a plan for him. He flew to Chicago
then when he hopped in the airplane to OMAHA, he was assigned to sit in the
last row on the plane. So he sat and read the bible and noticed the guy that was sitting next to him was reading the
bible too. So he decided to talk him
(write paper back and forth to communicate) and he ask that guy, “You reading
bible? You a Christian too?”. Hearing guy said “Yes, my father recently passed away and is on
the way home from his funeral. I have
been thinking a lot, but I am glad that God send someone to talk to me, now I
do not feel alone anymore.” Deaf guy announced
at the Leadership Christian Conference, that SOMETIMES when you make a plan, and
then the plan ended up being MESSED UP, to KEEP IN MIND that God have ANOTHER
plan which is usually the best plan and KEEP your eyes open when you notice the
frustration.
So that story touched my heart at
that moment. It is so true because God always
make every plan for everyone’s purpose.
HE REIGNS! You and I have to know
that HIS plan is always better plan than ours.
Anyway. My topic is “Show yourself
as hard worker; Another people will recognize
you.” It happened to me recently. I still couldn’t believe but it is going to be
hard on my wife being lonely at home by herself, but in some way, God will show
us about our blessings.
So 4 weeks ago, my wife and I have noticed our
budget was going downhill so we had to
find a way to stable our fianicial situations, since my wife’s job as a in-home daycare for
an disabled child was not too dependable. I decided to tell my wife that I have to find
second job to keep our fianicial stable to pay our household bills. So we prayed and asked God for His best WISE
choice/plan for us and take care of our fianical situation. So I asked Him if you give me another job
which it fine, if you don’t , then I will still TRUST in you, God. Usually, I would struggle to find another job, but on April 12th, which is on a Thursday, I
started applying for jobs, even my mom saw that some restaurants were hiring. I went ahead and applied at Beacon Hills Bar &
Grill. I already have a job at Olive
Garden, my schedule daily has always been Monday through Saturday 7am to 3pm. A week later, on the 19th that’s
on a Thursday, I called Beacon Hills to follow up on my application. They
replied that they wanted to do a job interview so they asked me if I could come
by tomorrow at 10am, Friday of 20th, so I had to check my OG
schedule. I was shocked and thought, “GOD IS SO GOOD!” Because
at OG, I was scheduled to work at 11:45am! God’s plan were working out for me! I became a little bit excited and I realized it was a last minute to get a
interpreter. I thought about one of my friends, Emily B, from Olive Garden. I decided to ask her if she was able to
interpret for me at my interview. She
said that she normally have to work on Friday mornings, turned out she only has
to work at 4pm. So she was willing to
interpret me. AGAIN, How great God is! So I went to the job interview. Everything went really well! My friend, Emily, did a GOOD JOB as an
interpreter! And last thing. the assistant chef and owner of the restaurant
walked in the kitchen then came back, ask me if I want this job. I replied, “Yes”, then guess what they said! “YOU’RE
HIRED!”. I was so surpised! That was a quick 15 minutes interview and
decided to hire me right there!
Then, yesterday, I went to Beacon
Hills to meet Chef Craig and sign the paperwork. We chatted without having a interpreter with
me this time but we communicated through writing on the paper. It all went very smooth, until he mentioned
about my old boss, Jeanette from Southeast Community College that works in the
cafernia kitchen. He mentioned that he
knew her since 1992 because she was
working under Craig’s restaurant.
Even they lived close to each other (right across the street from each
other). That moment caused me to become
curious, so I asked him, “Did you talked to Jeanette about me?” Chef Craig said, “Oh yes, I did. I asked her
many questions, but Jeanette gave me one answer.. “HIRE HIM quick before YOU
ARE TOO LATE!” At that moment when Chef
Craig told me about it, my self-esteem boosted! Chef Craig continued to write what
Jeanette said. She told him that she enjoys
having me work with her. She always knew that I’m a hard worker and tries
myself to be the best chef. She also mentioned that she misses working with
me. I felt so grateful to God that He
taught me to be patient with job even if it puts me under stress or
struggling. I showed them that I am a
dependable and worthy to work with.
So, that’s my thoughts! So IF you do this through His righteous and
show by being honest with yourself then people can see you through God’s deed work,
and God will bless you more..
Now, It will be harder on my wife
with me working a lot, so I’m asking you to please pray for my wife and I and
for us to have a healthy relationship of marriage while I am working a lot. Thank
you for reading this blog and enjoy your night!
God Bless,
David
