whistle while you work

I LOVE working. It sounds weird for a 19 year-old to enjoy working, but I treasure earning wages. I have known so many people that hate their jobs. I'll admit that I have not always skipped into work with a smile. There have been days that I would have prefered to be anywhere but work, on those days I learned that you have to whistle while you work.

I wrote earlier that I have always been money conscious--maybe that is why I love working. When I work, I know that I am doing my best to provide for the things I need. At the beginning of the summer I was nearly broke & jobless. A job for the summer is a necessity in order for me to return to college. I tried several places, but no one called back. Finally, I did what I should have done in the first place--I gave it to the Lord. God is always faithful & He knows exactly what is best. After giving my summer job over to Him, He gave me a full time summer job.

Once again, God has shown me that I am powerless without Him. His plan is best & all I have to do is ask for help. At the beginning of the summer I was so consumed with trying to find I job that I forgot that the same God who wants me to attend Maranatha would provide the finances to return there in the fall.

I love the job He has given me. He knows me & gave me a job that fits my personality. I am so thankful that I gave my summer over to Him. I know there will be times when I want to call in sick or complain, but that is when He will remind me that my attitude is my choice & all I have to do in order to enjoy my work day is whistle while I work.
