They say lightning never strikes twice in the same place!! Let me just say, who are they?? I mean really, now granted odds are very great that it won't strike twice BUT God's Word says nothing, NOTHING is impossible with God!! Whether lightning strikes twice in the same place or not, I thank God that he will work(strike) in the same place over and over again!!
My life is proof, and I am thankful. It was clear 2 years and 1 month ago when I came to BB&T not only was God in it but he was in the details. I left Citibank on February 8, 2008 and had in my heart that I needed 3 weeks to a month off in between jobs, I did not yet have my position when I left but on the 12 of February I signed my offer letter and was told my start date would be March 3, 2008 when I got back from the Dominican Republic. Three weeks of vacation just like I asked for, imagine that!!Not only was I very quickly became aware of some of why GOD put me in that job, in that place. I also have become aware in the last month that I was done, and was increasingly restless in Bowie.
Without warning last Thursday afternoon I saw a position become open in the BB&T branch 2 minutes from my house, I immediately got excited inside and began to pray, " God is it okay for me to go after this position. Is it your will. No matter how close it was to my house if it's wasn't God's will it would not be good! What I would begin to find out within that hour was the position was already filled and had been for over 2 weeks, and I was the one who would fill it. Also it was a mandatory move not optional. God took the decision away from me and I was told this was a good fit for me and a step up.....I had no choice as far as BB&T was concerned but at the same time they knew it was close to my home and it would bear a greater financial opportunity for me and I was told Monday the 5th of April that I would start my new position Monday the 12th of April one week later! WOW now there is God working (striking) in my life and in the details once again as it pertains to my financial life and where I would be placed to do his will. So while I do not know all the ins and outs of it, I do know God orchestrated my move took the decision away and even moved on management to put me there, I have seen a lot of mandatory moves that take people farther from home and put them in not so good of a situation...I am blessed and I know my managers do not determine my outcome God does........ every time. Be anxious for nothing, Let not your heart be troubled...........when you put God first and look to him to make your decisions he will and he will do it lightning fast and will strike in the same place as many times in the same life as it takes to fulfill his purposes in you and in me...All praise to him!!
