Last week was a very special week for me. When you invest so much of your life into something, it is really special to be able to hit the pause button and reflect. As we worked this past week to celebrate our five years in marketplace ministry, I was blessed to hear some incredible encouragement from a number of people who have been involved with WorkMatters.
As I share a few words from the emails and cards below, I want to encourage you to consider two things. First, when is the last time YOU hit the pause button on your job and really reflected on the impact you have had. We go so fast, stay so busy. Find a reason to spend some time thinking that through. Second, find a reason to encourage someone around you. It is amazing how it feels to receive it, isn’t it!
“I can’t believe it has been five years since WorkMatters was born. It is amazing to look back at the humble beginning and see how God has grown the organization and to see how many lives have been positively impacted through the ministry. I am very grateful to have been a small part of that process.”
“Congratulations on 5 years of reaching out to the business community of NWA. I am proud to be associated with such a GREAT organization!!!”
“It is hard to believe that it has been five years, but it has been a great five. Thank you for your commitment to lead WorkMatters and I pray that God will bless you, your family and WorkMatters over the next five years.”
“Congratulations on such a wonderful milestone! I know you continue to sense God at work through WorkMatters. It’s hard to believe it’s been five years.”
“Your e-mail stirred my heart as I began to think about all that God is doing through you in the Marketplace. I will not be able to attend the cookout, but want you to know that I pray for you regularly, that God will fill your cup to overflowing and continue to use you to develop, empower and unleash His ambassadors in the marketplace.”
“WorkMatters is bringing a message that is much needed in a community that has experienced so much prosperity. The truly important focus for so many has been lost. In these trying times, that focus needs to be directed to Him. You are providing that direction!”
Thank you so much for all you do for WorkMatters. I cannot wait to see what God has laid out for the next five years!
David
