![]() ![]() ![]() I had just been there long enough as a permanent part-time employee to get benefits- 1 year). #See the bigger picture full(prn means, as needed and no benefits, the new manager wanted me working basically full time because with prn I could actually work more hours but it took away the benefits. I understand corporate was doing what they thought was best for the company. The day after I returned to work corporate changed my position to prn without any input from me. Later a new manager came on board, she was not as understanding of what I had been through and neither was corporate. What a blessing, it was a hard time but it could have been worse and God had made it easier by giving me that position. I believe I was at that job for such a time as that. My sister helped the first week and then got pneumonia but even being sick she was with me most of the time via my cell phone. I was able to take a leave of absence with the help of my director there and be with my mother during that time. (although I didn’t know it at the time, again God sees the big picture) my mother would need to go into hospice in less than a year and this job set me up with her physician (he was the directing doctor there, which I also didn’t know at that time) he gave me his cell number in case my mother got worse, and when she did, he got her into an upscale hospice where the nurses were like angels. My mother was a patient there… God set it up I stayed till the end and got a severance package as did 15 of my co-workers…later I applied for a home health office position, they had many applicants but I was offered the position. You do not want the memories to be ones that you wish you could forget or take back.Īnother change was three years ago leaving a very good job after 12 years because I didn’t want to face the commute. The last thing you want is to look back and have regrets. Relationships are built on spending time together making and sharing good memories. ![]() Because time marches on and you will miss out on precious moments, and once time has passed you can not hit rewind. Be present, wherever you are in your life at this time. Family changes as well, your children grow up and start families of their own. That was a good change, starting my own family was a blessing because the “Best things in life are not things.” My family was an answered prayer. The biggest change was when I got married at the age of 19, I had just turned 19 the previous month. I know that either way may not be wrong, but I know you see the big picture and I want whats best for me and my husband… show me what to do. I am acknowledging you and I am expecting you to direct me. Don’t they say that hindsight is 20/20, well God sees the big picture…When I was going through tough times and I prayed a prayer something like this:” God please show me what to do…( I reminded God of his word,) “Lord, your word says : ![]() Its only after the fact that I can look back and see the fingerprints of God in all those changes. Since the beginning of last year, I have had a lot of changes in my life. We could avoid a lot of mistakes simply by listening to people who have already been there and done that… only fools refuse to take good advice and insist on doing things their own way. If we make the wrong choice we can always go the other direction on things like jobs, the area we buy a home etc… The Bible also says to seek godly wisdom from people who can give us sound advice. I know God sees the bigger picture and I want to live my best life. Other answers are not so clear, because there isn’t a right or wrong it’s just a choice, but if you are like me I don’t want to do my own thing. We can hear God by reading his word to find out some answers … for instance if you are thinking about dating someone who is an atheist and you think ” Well, God did you send this person into my life, so that I can be a witness to them?” that answer is in Gods word… do not be unequally yoked… that means marrying someone with different beliefs…knowing that it will cause discord at some point, so for some answers we just need to look in the word. but that is not how it works most of the time. I want to hear God tell me in an audible voice…. I think we all feel the same way a lot of the time, especially when it comes to knowing what choices to make in our life decisions. Some changes are for our better, and other changes may be for the good of someone else. Trusting that God sees the big picture, and we know that he does… but since we can’t see the big picture ourselves, it’s not always easy to know what to do. ![]()
