God of the Suddenlies

Today's Scripture

“I foretold the former things long ago, My mouth announced them and I made them known; then suddenly I acted, and they came to pass” (Isaiah 48:3).

Our God is a God of the suddenlies! Suddenly, He can turn your situation around. Suddenly, He can give you the break you need. You may have been dealing with the same problem for ten years. It may look like it’s never going to change, but in a split secon d, God can totally resolve it. No matter how long it’s been, no matter what you’re facing, you’ve got to believe that God is full of surprises. One touch of His favor and He can move the wrong people out of your life and move the right people into your life. One touch of God’s favor and He can take you from having barely enough to having more than enough. You may not see how it’s all going to work out, but you don’t have to figure it all out. Your part is to simply believe; to get up each day in faith, expecting God’s favor. Expect something good to happen to you today. Expect God to surprise you. Remember, He’s a God of the suddenlies and He can suddenly turn around any situation you may be facing!

A Prayer for Today

Father in heaven, today I come to You, giving You my cares and worries. I believe that You are working behind the scenes and expect You to suddenly turn things in my favor. Thank You for everything You are doing in my life. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

We cannot go=2 0back and have a new start, but we can start now and have a new ending.

FW: ONE OF THE BEST STORIES I'VE EVER HEARD!

Subject: ONE OF THE BEST STORIES I'VE EVER HEARD!
Date: Tue, 28 Oct 2008 14:26:49 -0400

This is a very touching story.
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

As she stood in front of her 5th grade class on the very first
day of school, she told the children an untruth. Like most teachers, she
looked at her students and said that she loved them all the same.
However, that was impossible, because there in the front row, slumped in
his seat, was a little boy named Teddy Stoddard.

Mrs. Thompson had watched Teddy the year before and noticed that
he did not play well with the other children, that his clothes were
messy and that he constantly needed a bath. In addition, Teddy could be
unpleasant. It got to the point where Mrs. Thompson would actually take
delight in marking his papers with a broad red pen, making bold X's and
then putting a big 'F' at the top of his papers.

At the school where Mrs. Thompson taught, she was required to
review each child's past records and she put Teddy's off until last.
However, when she reviewed his file, she was in for a surprise.

Teddy's first grade teacher wrote, 'Teddy is a bright child with
a ready laugh. He does his work neatly and has good manners... he is a
joy to be around..'

His second grade teacher wrote, 'Teddy is an excellent student,
well liked by his classmates, but he is troubled because his mother has
a terminal illness and life at home must be a struggle.'

His third grade teacher wrote, 'His mother's death has been hard
on him. He tries to do his best, but his father doesn't show much
interest, and his home life will soon affect him if some steps aren't
taken.'

Teddy's fourth grade teacher wrote, 'Teddy is withdrawn and
doesn't show much interest in school. He doesn't have many friends and
he sometimes sleeps in class.'

By now, Mrs. Thompson realized the problem and she was ashamed
of herself. She felt even worse when her students brought her Christmas
presents, wrapped in beautiful ribbons and bright paper, except for
Teddy's. His present was clumsily wrapped in the heavy, brown paper that
he got from a grocery bag. Mrs. Thompson took pains to open it in the
middle of the other presents. Some of the children started to laugh when
she found a rhinestone bracelet with some of the stones missing, and a
bottle that was one-quarter full of perfume. But she stifled the
children's laughter when she exclaimed how pretty the bracelet was,
putting it on, and dabbing some of the perfume on her wrist. Teddy
Stoddard stayed after school that day just long enough to say, 'Mrs.
Thompson, today you smelled just like my Mom used to.'

After the children left, she cried for at least an hour. On that
very day, she quit teaching reading, writing and arithmetic. Instead,
she began to teach children. Mrs. Thompson paid particular attention to
Teddy. As she worked with him, his mind seemed to come alive. The more
she encouraged him, the faster he responded. By the end of the year,
Teddy had become one of the smartest children in the class and, despite
her lie that she would love all the children the same, Teddy became one
of her 'teacher's pets..'

A year later, she found a note under her door, from Teddy,
telling her that she was the best teacher he ever had in his whole life.

Six years went by before she got another note from Teddy. He
then wrote that he had finished high school, third in his class, and she
was still the best teacher he ever had in life.

Four years after that, she got another letter, saying that while
things had been tough at times, he'd stayed in school, had stuck with
it, and would soon graduate from college with the highest of honours. He
assured Mrs. Thompson that she was still the best and favourite teacher
he had ever had in his whole life.

Then four more years passed and yet another letter came. This
time he explained that after he got his bachelor's degree, he decided to
go a little further. The letter explained that she was still the best
and favourite teacher he ever had. But now his name was a little
longer.... The letter was signed, Theodore F. Stoddard, MD.

The story does not end there. You see, there was yet another
letter that spring. Teddy said he had met this girl and was going to be
married. He explained that his father had died a couple of years ago and
he was wondering if Mrs. Thompson might agree to sit at the wedding in
the place that was usually reserved for the mother of the groom. Of
course, Mrs. Thompson did. And guess what? She wore that bracelet, the
one with several rhinestones missing. Moreover, she made sure she was
wearing the perfume that Teddy remembered his mother wearing on their
last Christmas together.

They hugged each other, and Dr. Stoddard whispered in Mrs.
Thompson's ear, 'Thank you Mrs. Thompson for believing in me. Thank you
so much for making me feel important and showing me that I could make a
difference.'

Mrs. Thompson, with tears in her eyes, whispered back. She said,
Teddy, you have it all wrong. You were the one who taught me that I
could make a difference. I didn't know how to teach until I met you.'

(For you that don't know, Teddy Stoddard is the Doctor at Iowa
Methodist in Des Moines that has the Stoddard Cancer Wing.)

Warm someone's heart today. . . pass this along. I love this
story so very much, I cry every time I read it. Just try to make a
difference in someone's life today? tomorrow? just 'do it'.

Random acts of kindness, I think they call it!

Subject: Career Fitness Tip: How to be an INTRApreneur

Dear THALIA,

Be sure to check out this week's tip on YouTube by clicking this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8UbbuNRTXg

*******

Last week I showed you how to add value (and job security) to yourself by learning how to solve four types of problems. Hopefully you've had a chance to put some of that knowledge to use.

This week we want to focus on helping your organization make money.

You've probably heard of entrepreneurs. These are people who start their own businesses, often at great risk, for the reward of having control and being able to make dreams come true. Entrepreneurs (and I know this from being one) are forced to think critically about every dollar that's spent and make the most of each opportunity to try and make money.

Even if you're not up for this rollercoaster ride, you can still use principles we use and become an INTRApreneur! I know that terms sounds weird, but it makes total sense. To add value, you have to think of your organization as YOUR company. Here are some suggestions to get your INTRApreneurial spirit engaged:

1. Look for new markets. Think of this company as your own. If you can't see opportunities coming down the road, your company can go bust. This is your chance to do some networking and prospecting on behalf of your company.

2. Establish networks. Let people know where your work and what you do. Think of ways to find common connections with everyone you meet. Show them that your company is one they should do business with.

3. Think of office resources as your own. In my home office, I count paperclips, paper, and other office supplies. I have to pay for these so I control their use. It comes right off my bottom line. I know the temptation to leave with little things from your office, but remember, it comes off YOUR bottom line. Protect your office from this kind of innocent pilferage.

4. Come up with a constant stream of innovative ideas. In the old days, new ideas were probably swept under the rug or stolen by other office mates. Nowadays, your ability to come up with a creative idea may save your company from going under. This isn't the time to play games. Make sure you communicate with everyone above you if you have a great idea. I know these seem like they should be the responsibility of someone else, but if your own job security is on the line, don't you think you might want to step up?

Remember, job security is never a guarantee with the same company, but if you can do the four steps above, you'll learn some powerful techniques that will make any organization a success. And who knows, maybe someday that business you're protecting will be your own! Towards your TOTAL Career Success, Malcolm ps. I'm going to be doing a "Marketing Yourself for Your Dream Job" seminar soon in Clarksburg, MD. If you're in the DC/Metro area, make plans to attend! I'll give you the date in a few days! pps.

You can't control the rollercoaster economy. Take control of what you CAN - your own attitude and performance! Get great career help on video today at www.careerfitnesscoach.tv!
