I work in Provo for a ESL school. It is my job to find International students to come to Provo. We offer a good product and get many to come and study English. My boss is striving to make ends meet and struggles each month with payroll. He is a good man and hired me on a whim. He knew that I would leave if I found a job that was more to my qualifications, but took a chance to offer me a very low paying job.
I accepted and have been there for five months. I am mildly successful in what I do, bringing in students. Since all my life I have been thinking outside the box, striving to create a better mouse trap, I always strive to find a better way.
Well, at this job, I have designed new methods, better ways, etc to find International students. I enjoy it, being successful for my boss. Though I am not paid what I deserve, though my thirty five years experience only brings me payment as if I were a high graduate, I feel comfortable there. In fact, I know that Father has directed us there, to help this good man maintain and even improve his business.
Father knows the financial struggles I have to take care of before my mission. He is in control of the money of this world and often uses it to teach His children lessons. He could, with a tiny effort, resolve my financial obstacles and call me on a mission. I know that to be true. But lately, I have felt that He sent me to this low paynig job.
I have had the fact renewed in my soul that money is not everything, and Father is using the circumstances I live in to teach me lessons and prepare me for our future. All of us must learn to live by faith. I am trying to do that these days. I am not working there for the ease in paying off my debt. I am working there, putting my faith in Father and knowing that when I have learned what He is teaching me, then He will let us move on to the next situation in life, be it a mission or another trial. I know He is in charge of my life.
