About
8 years ago my family and I were planning to move to
sunny Florida from West Virginia. My husband was retiring from the coal
mines after 30
years. At that
time, I was a stay at home mom but had a degree. Paul asked
me, "if you need to get a job in FL, what
would you like to do"? I thought and said, "I would like to work in an
office, perhaps for a doctor". I
received a position as, help around the office from our chiropractor
& friend across the state line in PA, about 25 minutes away. I then
quickly went to the front desk position. I had received the training
needed for my
resume as desired, and another person was hired.
Several months later I was called back, to work the
front desk again. Then some months later, I was given
the office managers position. I trained
the next person to take over my position as the time came to move to
Florida. Then 4 years later the doors in Florida closed, and we moved
back to West Virginia, as Paul's mom had given us her home. She had moved
into Paul's sister's home, because she needed
constant care. Three months later Paul's mother died, on Paul's
birthday. We were grateful to God, for the time we were given to spend
with her before her passing.
Later, during Vacation Bible School here in WV, the pastor told us to write on a
piece of paper names of those we would like to see come to Christ. God
brought to mind my former chiropractor employer and his wife. The very
next
week, I was called by that employers office. They asked if I could
fill in, while the front desk person Mary, had hip surgery. I graciously
accepted as a temporary position. Mary came back
to work and I was home again. I knew I was suppose to be there because I
had
the opportunity to witness the entire time.
Less then a year
later, I was called again, this time to see if I would like the office
manager position. We prayed and I accepted on a temporary basis. This
quickly
turned into my current, permanent position. I only work 2 days a week
and may bill
from home an other day.
At one point, I felt God tugging at my heart, so I took out that piece
of paper from VBS, that I kept. I
showed it to my boss. I told him of VBS and that God had put me there
for a reason. He was in awe and agreed it was a divine appointment. I am
still praying for he and his wife, God isn't done yet.
