God's provision, Again!

Feburary 6th, 2012, started a new, full time (temporary) job in Sycamore. It would be working first shift for $10.00/hr. Far less money than I made at my last job and still less than even unemployment. I (we) had prayed for a full time job(check) that was local (check), first shift (check), that paid more than unemployment. Fortunately everything worked out except for the money part. I had to take the job because my umemployment was running out. $10.00/hr is better than 0.00/hr.

Fast forward to May 2012. I was summoned to the office of my supervisor, and was informed that I would be getting a thirty cent raise on my next paycheck. Praise the LORD! Here I thought that I had really been stinking up the place, but my boss saw it differently. I keep quoting this Bible verse to myself,

Colossians 3:23
New Living Translation (NLT)
23 Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people.

Fast forward to October 2012. I accepted a full time position with the company. No more temporary in my job title. With the new full time position came a raise, a $2.50 raise. So now I am making $12.50/hr. Hallejuah. Praise the LORD! So a twenty five percent raise in eight months time. Thank You Jesus!

Now, Janurary 2013 rolls around. I just recieved another thirty cent raise and a week of vacation. Wow! Really? Praise the LORD and thank You Jesus. I have recieved a $2.80 raise in less than a year and gained a weeks vacation. This is unheard of. Just goes to show, put Jesus first even at work, and good things will happen. I praise and thank God all day, everyday while I am at work. He is so good to me and my family!
