Helping People in an Unexpected Place

If you had told me a year ago that God would have my family and I living back in Orlando and that I would be working for a communications company, I’d have told you that you were nuts.  But, that is exactly what I’m up to, and God never ceases to bless and amaze me.

I provide customer service for and sell the home communications products of one of the largest telecomm companies in the country, servicing customers in 18 states.  My favorite part of what I do is to get calls from customers who are having problems with their billing or their services, solve their problems, and have them thanking me at the end of the call.  Also, it is such a joy to have co-workers who know that I am an ordained minister come up to me and ask advice regarding their personal lives.

For years, I always expected that the only way God would use me to positively impact the lives of others was to be working full-time as a pastor in a church.  Instead, God has lead me to work for a phone company and to be a member of one of the greatest churches on the planet, Eastpoint Fellowship.  Only God knows what he has in store for me, but now I’d be perfectly happy making a career with my current company and serving God however I can as a member of Eastpoint.

Let me encourage all of you to remember that no matter what situation you find yourself in, no matter how different it may be from what you believed to be the right way, trust God to care for you and love you and give you the best.  His plan is the right plan.  It is the only plan to follow.
