Satisfaction at work. The repetitive cycle of accountancy was taking its toll on my life. Month after month of the same old stuff. My work was good, but I wasn't fulfilled. I wanted more from my job; this lead to resentment of others and criticism. And, although it was a Christian organisation, some people made me want to scream. I had prayed about the situation for months (going on for years), but nothing seemed to change. Many (soon-to-fail) applications were submitted for various jobs - most of which seemed perfect. It wasn't until I was reading The Purpose Driven Life (by Rick Warren), that I started to discover why I was made and who God wanted me to be. I realised afresh that I was made to worship Him, and not to get so hung up on what job I should be doing. I knew that God wanted the best for me and I was to seek Him above any status or position at work. My attitude was changed, and my outlook brightened. I still wanted a new job, so made a list of 'ideals' to place before God. When there were no jobs left 'in the pipeline', I received a call from another member of our church who had been praying, and asked me if I'd like to run his company for him. Well, after 5 minutes on the phone, I had ticked off 4 of my 6 ideals. The rest followed shortly afterwards in a lengthy chat as the role was explained to me. Learning about myself (and the getting to know the person God made me to be) gave me a new perspective on my work life. Although I knew God, my relationship was deepened as I listened more carefully to Him. Decisions have since been made in light of this, which takes a lot of stress and strain out of similar situations where heavy decisions are needed to be made.
