In my "God Calling" on today's date I find several notes I wrote that are in reference to a sentence in the reading that in 1985 I had underlined as important to me, i.e., The poor, sick world would be cured if every day each soul waited before God for the inspiration to live aright.
In 1986, as the business where I worked collapsed around me, I wrote: Can I do gofer work w/o feeling defined by it? Resist not - I personally must let God handle my feelings about it for I, of myself, will resent.
In 2016, I wrote, I have only just begun.
The rest of the story: In 1986, I was primarily filled with dread that I would have to work as a gofer in, say, a rinky-dink real estate or insurance office at low pay and no benefits. At that time I was taking care of the IRS so it was a heavy-duty fear. The probability of resentment was my prompter, but getting right with God was last on the list, truth to tell.
To fill in the years, I did not need to do gofer work for "miraculously" a position came to me in a field I knew naught of. I stayed, learned, advanced and, fifteen years later, retired from there...with icing on my cake: a full 20 years later I was inducted into their Hall of Honor.
Thank you.
