“I don’t know why work isn’t going the way it used to,” says my friend “Rosalita.”

I think I know why.

“God is trying to tell you that you deserve something better,” I say.

You can work just as hard for someone who values you and pays you what you deserve.

“Rosalita” needs to hear these words. She is a giver. A hard worker. She does not need to beat herself up because suddenly things aren’t working out for her the way they used to. “Rosalita” needs to realize she will thrive again when she is once again in a position where people don’t ask her for reduced rates or discounts, but rather value her for the work she provides.

It’s easy to see the value in others. It’s easy to see the value in our friends. I have “Rosalie’s” back. I can’t help, but think that I need to have my own.

You can still work just as hard for a marriage with someone who values you then one that doesn’t.

Sometimes God is pushing us towards something better.
