Until that time look at the way you handle yourself at work as a time of tilling and preparing. Thanks for sharing, and be encouraged!Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14285421516395674775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2563294063694495684.post-91085105373268099252011-10-17T09:15:45.561-05:002011-10-17T09:15:45.561-05:00"We are making His story annoying to those wh...<b><i>"We are making His story annoying to those who need to hear about Him and learn of His great love for them.<br />Let us who know Him, come to know Him better…let us make Him famous…by learning to love others as He does."</i></b><br /><br />Very true indeed bud! I wanted to share an observation with you from my work out there in the secular corporate workforce...<br /><br />In corporate america I struggle with "showing love" VS "hiding my faith". <br /><br />We are not allowed to talk religion, politics,etc at work but this is seldome practiced and if I'm not careful it often feel like, "Talk about anything provided it's not Christianity. Any other religion, liberal politics, sexual preference, etc are welcome."<br /><br />My challange is how can I let people know I am a Christian without becomming a "bible-thumper" and creating an HR incident.<br /><br />I believe the answer to this is as you hinted at, "By the love we show for each other..."<br /><br />I recently received possitive feedback in my PE along the lines of, "[...]Tim is always calm and makes time for everyone. How does he do that?[...]"<br /><br />I mention this not to state how awesome I am (which is true), but to show an example of how Christ can work through us without us having to drop someone off at a Church and hold their hands as they walk to the alter.<br /><br />This was an opening to have a frank conversation with someone at work about my experiences and trials and how I don't have to let the silly stuff like a $24M project going over budget slow me down.<br /><br />My challange is to always maintain my cool and show that love regardless of meeting schedules, workload, and pushy project sponsors and allow Christ to work though me.Timothyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02863998115178197516noreply@blogger.com
