What do you do when you need to make someone realize "yes I was listening " you have to put a nice person out of work. that is bull crap.But, also required to keep peace. Sometimes, we let people go in our life that in all reality you would prefer to keep in your life. This is most painful. But sometime it is not. I have let 3 employees go over 12 months. One transferred due to a situation( that was required by administration, it was politics and sometimes I hate this part of my job) yet sometimes it leads me down the road I have been going around. I fight this urge to not be a part of the world, but be set apart from the world and hence I am realizing Jesus gives me that direction in the form of letting employees go, asking one to transfer, terminating 2 one was for just reason and the recent was although just, I felt I could have trained her to get where she needed to be. In time maybe that time was 1 or 2 years but it takes us 12 years by american society to get the education/ we are told is required. Yet others expect people to learn on the same level they do. My inner peace is realizng this need in others. But, the co-workers didn't agree and since we have put ourselves (as the world on a clock it is inevitable that I would not be granted this time ). These choices are so hard and sometimes so fleshly painful. I hate to cry but when the milk has been spilt it gives me that sense to just cry. This was by far the easiest Donald Trump move I have ever had to implement. The terminated employee hugged my neck and said you were so patient with me and I know I just am out of my league, she was grateful for the chance and I was grateful for her brief entrance into my life. the package on the outside is not always what is covered on the inside. This road is meant for something I just have to keep driving.
So, I was left with this sense of relief for the ease it went with, and a certain emotion of failure. To question myself was I honoring God or was I only giving into the path of least road hazardous,maybe doing just what Satan would want. Seem so confused. I can only say that at this moment God lifts me to say. I did not have the tweleve desciples with my son, without the knowledge one of them would betray him . So, it is evident I am to be very selective in my choices, but also know some of them are predestined to direct my heart. I can sleep well after this thought because I am doing what God directs me as the best for healthcare. His peolple are my people and I am ceratnily responsible to have the people in leadership that can implement "better healtcare"direction to this is guided by those driving.
When you hear the words your are fired, use every instinct God gives you to not judge the person as unfit only not meant for the puzzle you are trying to put together. For in time they could be the center piece to your next master piece.
I am reading this great book "LEAD BY THE CARPENTER" LOOK FOR IT.
IT IS GIVING ME SOME REALLY GOOD INSIGHT TO FIX BROKEN PEOLPE AND BROKEN ISSUE IN MYSELF.
I ONLY WANT TO BE USED BY GOD AND PRAY I AM SEEING WHEN IT ISN'T BEING DONE UNDER HIS LEADERSHIP.
