I have not been doing well at work. A normal person who doesnt know the lord, or even those who may, wouldn’t notice because I do do my work, but I am not going above and beyond. Actually more lately I havent even really been doing much of anything. I am lazy and addicted to the internet. I wouldnt say I am exactly addicted, but it is a big temptation at work that stumbles my desire to glorify God in my work daily.
I want to be an example of what the benifits of having a Christian work for you. Its not that I want to be noticed, thats not it. My boss thinks I do a good job because I do what I need to do. What she doesn’t know is that I have alot more time to do alot more things that I dont do because I am waistful of my time. I don’t deserve the money they pay me most of the time because I am not doing my job. I am not glorifying God by hanging out on the internet or ignoring my convictions. This had been a struggle for me since I started my new job.
For a while, God was really giving me grace to fight this sin area but I have been back sliding like whoa these past 3 weeks. I just ask that You guys could be praying for me, that I will have discipline and self control and that God will help me to serve him and better serve my boss.
Thanks Y’all.

How are you doing?
GOOD! Thank you for asking!
Strange really. Not so long after I wrote this request, my boss gave me a card with some very encouraging words stating how pleased she is with my work and how glad she is to have me. the card even had al ittle financial gift in it from my company to extend their thanks. It was so excited and encouraged to see the God IS using me at my work place, it is just in a different way than I think it should be.
I do still struggle a tiny tiny bit getting carried away on the internet (it has been very rare) but the more responsibilities I am blessed with and the bussier I get ,the less time I have to do that. God is so kind to have given me such a wonderful place to work and opportunities to be serving. WooHoo! I’m so excited. AmEn!!! Ha-Ha.
Hey Janet,
Gee that post sounded like my oft repeated internal dialogue. Let me know if God’s shown you anything specific about that. It is encouraging to read the follow-up. I wonder if we as Christians are more convicted about performing the way a lot of other people normally perform.
Anyway,
Carie
