Well the tittle says it all. You must work with God while you are working.
On August 15, 2009 I had a meeting at 8 AM which i was none to please about. This meeting was rather tedious and was not very productive. Which is why when I left it I was not in the best of moods. I came back to work around 11:15 which when I was schedule to work. So me being in a bad mood all ready really didn't want to work at all.
As many people know when you don't want to do something, something always forces you do have to do that that which you did not want to do, and this case was like that. To my surprise I was greeted by The president and owner of the company. They decided to see how I had become the number one sales person in the Tarrant County. They wanted to see if they could gain any tips to help the people that were not doing to well. This was a horrible day all ready, and this was added to it.
I went to talk to my manger to see if he had any advice for me. What he told me was just to go out there and to work like nothing was different. Then we prayed about the day, and we both asked God to help us through out the day to watch over us as we worked.(Get it working with God?)So I went out on the sales floor and was prepared for the day.
My first customer comes in the store, wanting the basic phone, no extras, no features. He just wanted the basics. Well with me I can tell what customers you are not going to convince to get another phone wants they have their minds set on something specific, and he was one of those people, or so I thought.
When the sale was done, he had purchased our most expensive phone, with all the extras and features. When he walked out the door, I had no clue on how and what had happened. This guy also activated the service know as U-Verse with me that day. As I said before, I did nothing more, I did not mention any of this to this gentlemen, He asked about all of these things on his own. This sale alone gave me 16+ units (units=gross profit/44.44). That sale alone hit my daily goal and it was only 12:00PM.
After the day was over I had close to 60 units which is one of the highest store goals for the Tarrant market. Through out these sales I had no control over what was being sold. I thank God for that alone. Without him that wouldn't have been possible. However, this was just the start.
Before we closed, The president and owner (Darreon and Asa) came and pulled me to the side and they congratulated me. They were astonished at my performance. I told them I did nothing, and that my Lord and Saver had done this. I, myself , could not ever dream of being able to do this. Because of this performance.
Through this I learned that, I could never dream of accomplishing anything of this magnitude without God. He is the driver of my life. He has control of what happens to me. I am just here for a short while. He will direct me to the places I need to be. He will provide. He will open oppurtunities.
