The following is from a series of stories on God using people in the work place as told by members of our congregation:

When I moved to Caronport to attend Briercrest three years ago I had no idea what God had in store for me over the next few years. Most of you would know me as Steve Atkins’ administrative assistant, but I also have another full-time job as an esthetician at Temple Gardens Mineral Spa.

Hand-in-Hand with God

I believe God has put me in my job(s) for His Glory! God uses these two very different jobs to work hand-in-hand all the time. It amazes me how God can use what I’m doing here in the church (youth group administration/voltage/Joe’s Place) to open doors to conversations about what I believe, and why I am involved in the church.

He uses each place as a break from the other which keeps me working for many hours after sane people would have stopped. He teaches me to be gracious to the people I work with, and creates awesome and challenging relationships that keep me sharp in the Word.
I never thought that a job that “just pays the bills” could work so well together with what my real passions are. I never thought I’d see most of my co-workers helping me with whatever project I have going from cutting out 20,000 labels to helping me call halls around town to get prices for a youth event! I never thought I’d have a supervisor who is willing to work around my youth group/church schedule.  [Jenn Griff -- Temple Gardens Mineral Spa]
