I submitted, I got blessed
This is one of the most phenomenal moments of my Christian walk. I learned to submit and honor my boss… click below to read and see what happened!
My bad experience at a huge Corporation: I was hired as an intern. I was stuck at the office every day just floundering and not knowing what to do most of the time. My boss had little respect for me and I came to work late and left early. I wasn’t a very good employee and I didn’t even know it. At the end of my internship I got 1s and 2s out of 5. Some of the shocking things I heard was, “I have never seen a college student that doesn’t know how to communicate.” Ouch! I had never heard that. I proceeded to hear very painful things from my boss and got angry and left before my internship was completed. 1s & 2s is the worst you can get and destroys any opportunity that you would have at 3M.
Starting at a company as the old Marc: I was hired as a web designer for the company i work for now. I started out and my boss was always irritated with me. He was angry at my arrogance and would blow up on me every now and then. This was extremely difficult to take the criticism but yet I knew God wanted me there so I stayed. My 90 day review at DD looked like the old 3M review with 1s and 2s but my boss decided not to give it to me for fear that I’d quit.
New and submissive Marc: I listened to what my boss had to say and started respecting his advice and taking it. God changed my heart to submit to his orders. The Lord used my boss to correct some of the deep woundings and things I had in my heart. It was painful to do what he asked of me but yet I pressed on with the Lord because he called me to. Today I received my one year review. I couldn’t believe it but the one year review was filled with 4s and 5s!!! I got a 5 for attitude and I couldn’t believe it. Its like I can breathe again and I have my dignity back! Praise the Lord all the glory goes to him because he brought me through the fire and cut out rebellion in my heart. He gave me a submissive and teachable heart!!!

Praise God for a submissive and teachable heart! Painful, hmm. When we die to self and take up His cross for whatever reason (obdeince, love, reference fear etc . .) God is faithful. In work I was persecuted in ways because of trying to do my job and its duties to honor my bosses and God, also for righeous behavior and not having an immoral mouth, proclaiming a moral lifestyle etc. . It was pretty bad. But after a few months or so we had a salon meeting and they gave out awards. My award was “putting up with the most crap.” God is awesome, that was my breakthrough (and His). I didn’t wanna be there. But I was suppose to. Now its alright, I can enjoy my job. They are still them, but God is opening their heart to receive if they will (witness - muh ha). You bet the enemy hates me there!!!
