Today I begin the new year back at Pizza Hut. I’ve been off since right before Christmas. It seems like it’s been ages. Life there has been great and no so great at times.
The not so great times include trying to handle 50+ orders coming in at once. Thankfully I don’t have to do it alone. Everything is setup as a team. All of the employees working together as one to make the business flow and operate. Seems like God said something about the Church being like that (Romans 12:4-5; 1 Corinthians 12:12).
The great part includes getting to meet a lot more people, especially ones that aren’t Christ followers. It’s given me the opportunity to get out of the church bubble and be with people that need to know Christ. I’ve shared with many people what I do at Compass Christian Church, so I’ve become known as the “Christian” or “the guy who goes to church.” I’ll take either of those so long as I am making some sort of impact.
Right before Christmas, one of the guys who washes dishes has been asking me what we’ve been learning in church. We had just begun the Portraits of Christmas series and so I told him about the angel and the manger and how those represented God’s Providence and Humility. He thought it was interesting and went on working. A few days later he asked my Jesus would die on a cross. He said, “It seems as if Jesus was on a suicide mission or something.” I laughed and then thought the same thing. I explained that God sent His Son Jesus for us. Because He loved us. He was set back by that and contemplated it for the rest of the evening.
Now as I head back there this evening, I look forward to what God has in store for me next.
