At work today..

msmarkieanna:

I had to do a task that was difficult to do at work today.I was asked to step out of my comfort zone and put my self in the unknown.In this instance I did not know what the out come would be.on this my day off , I arrived twenty minutes  early and sat in my car. at the last moment I said If a certain friend and co worker of mine would show up I would go do what was asked of me.It was now 5 minutes prior to the start of work,and my friend pulls up and parks the car,she said she would show up for me,and I had just started the car to go home .so I was obligated to follow through with my task.My friend stated I will go with you,and be with you during the time . So we made our way to work .we walked in the meeting room,and stood in the back, and some seating opened up in the  front row, so i suggested we sit up front.We Sat on the front row!

Today was awards day at work, and I was to attend the festivities dressed fancy in my best clothing . I was nervous ,due to the fact we work in uniforms and for the most part have not seen me dressed in street clothes. For our non uniform functions the dress code is business casual. That means nice tops and a pair of slacks. But today, was awards and it meant for me a nice top and a skirt and all the trimmings. having never been any thing but uniformed or business casual, I was nervous. I was afraid what people would think,or if people would laugh at me. We finished the awards, and headed for the lunch portion,where I received compliment after compliment.And rave reviews on my attire.My fear faded in to smiles and elation. In this case the risk was worth the reward. I did not receive a single reward,but was rewarded for my stepping out  into the unknown,and Allowing God to lead the way.

My devotional verse this morning was Psalm 23:4’Yea,though I walk through the shadow of death ,I fear no evil :for thou art with me;thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

I was in a shadow in the parking lot this morning,but he was with me,and provided for me.All I needed to do was trust him,and he took care of me.
