Just want to give a shout out to my Grandma who just accepted Christ in her life last week which is so freaking amazing which has been a prayer of our family's for a long time now. Now to just get the rest of the extended family to realize it's a better life.....
I got paid two compliments last night at work (note: I'm not trying to boast or show how great I am, I'm making a point) which came completely out of the blue and turning a time when I was getting really frustrated at another co-worker who was talking crap behind my back but whatever. One co-worker asked when I was going back to school and we started talking about that and "I was like I want you to go back to school too so that you can get a better job than this"
(that is one of my goals while working there, encourage them to get better jobs and make them laugh, my brother helps me with the laughing part. Man, we're together at work we just get the whole place rolling but again, not boasting just proving a point) And out of the blue she was like "I'm going to miss you when you leave, I like working with you. You make it fun" and I was just surprised and stood there with my mouth open. I was not expecting that at all. Then from my manager, who is the really cool one and we've had some conversations about God and life and such, said, "I look forward to coming to work when I'm working with you and Jonathan(which is my brother)." Dang, what the heck? No way do I deserve such compliments. God, what is this? My point is, is that while working at Wendy's I didn't think I had an impact on other people, that my actions or character or who God made me had an affect on others for the better and last night I was proved wrong....twice. I mean being back here I haven't felt like I have had much of an impact on any one which is fine but man, me having an impact at Wendy's? I never saw it coming but apparently God had other plans. We have more of an impact on other people's lives than we realize, for good or bad. Especially as Christians though, just by being a Christian you are having an impact on other's lives or witnessing through example even if you never talk about God once. Christ changes your heart in such a way that your character is unlike everyone else that does not know Christ, people notice this change, they notice that something is different about you than the "rest of them" and in this case it was a nice difference, one that they enjoyed being around and that is something that I am glad I could offer them in such a crappy work environment such as Wendy's. So be an impact, be a change that makes the difference even if it is just one person; you can make a world of difference. later yo, Guest time.
