I love what I do professionally. I have spent the last 25+ years doing corporate marketing and I've learned a lot. I enjoy the challenge of finding ways to communicate the value of my company to its customers. I almost always worked in the non-profit world because I felt the values of those companies better matched my own. But I confess that in the past year or so I was beginning to wonder if I was truly using my skills to advance God's will in the world. Always before, I felt a connection between my work and my purpose. Then, I was suddenly out of a job.
I assessed my skills, my age, my desires and prayed. I decided to try opening my own consulting business which is a long-held desire of mine. I asked God for support and to bless my work. I have been so blessed with success within a few short weeks. I am not making the same amount I did before in the corporate world, but I am finding clients who value my knowledge and experience, as well as my skills. Plus, I am happier and living with far less stress.
Today, I pitched a company that gives God the credit for the success it has had. And then I knew - this was God's plan. I don't know for sure that this company will hire me, but it looks good. And if I work for them, I will have the comfort of knowing my work will be helping a company that believes in doing God's work.
Not every client will be so closely matched, I guess, but I felt an inner certainty today that I was on the right path. I'm hoping that my prayers will continue to bring me into contact with companies like that, and work that I can believe in.
