The Choice

Hi. Watch for information on my upcoming radio interview. 98.7 The Choice.

Walking in Faith Rides into the Workplace

Many of you may know that my husband Bill and I bought a Harley Davidson motorcycle two years ago. We love riding! Hold on to that thought for just a moment.

I joined Marketplace Chaplains USA a year ago as a workplace chaplain. This is also something that I love.

When it’s nice out Bill will give me a ride to the place where I do workplace ministry as a chaplain.

Walking in Faith now rides into the workplace.

Today is my anniversary

Today is my anniversary. I’ve officially been at Medtronic for ten years. I honestly never thought I’d see this day.

I feel like if I had a dollar for every time I wanted to quit the past ten years that I’d have a million dollars in my pocket.

I’m in a really great place at work with all kinds of great opportunities coming my way that I would have never had a chance to realize if I’d have quit even one of those seemingly million of times. 

I stepped away from my desk

I stepped away from my desk. Took a walk to the other building. I thought I might check on my friend who had been going through a challenging time. On the way I ran into a colleague I hadn’t worked with for a long time.

She couldn’t keep the quiver from her voice or hide the tears that welled up as she told me how much more work she’d been given recently and how it had been affecting her.

I know the hug helped – even if only for a moment. People are having a hard time in the workplace. I told her we needed to start a support group there were so many people going through the same thing.

Saying a prayer for the workplace this Friday evening. Wishing everyone a restful weekend. 

That's God

“What’s that all about?” my friend said. “ I couldn’t believe the timing of your text.”

While God had prompted me to pray for her on Monday, it wasn’t until Tuesday when God continued to put praying for her on my heart, that I sent her a text letting her know I was praying for her.

I didn’t know what she needed, but I didn’t need to. Deep in my spirit I had the sense that I should cover her in prayer. God knew her need. I thought she might be comforted to know someone was praying for her, and that’s why I let her know I was praying.

As it turns out, she was going through something at work, and did need prayer.

“That’s God,” was my reply when she commented on the timing. I told it wasn’t just a testimony of how real God is, but a testimony of how much He loved her. 

Riverdale Church

Walking in Faith is about having the conversations -- the hard conversations about work!
