Frustration, Tears and Sales

God works in very different ways than we think, or the way we want. He may guide our steps in times of frustration. all we have to do follow Him. I'm remined of Joshua and Rahab. Joshua was the successor to Moses and was probably wondering "Lord I'm not a leader" or "Lord I'm intimated by Moses cause he was a great leader", or "Lord you saw how Moses was frustrated why do you want me to do it?" Yet Joshua is one of the Great leaders of Israel. God told him not to fear, but have faith in Him. Rahab was a harlot, she was a pagan, but in her own respect she feared God when the tales of Israel reached Jericho. Why would a  harlot have so much faith that Israel's God would bring her through the battle? I pondered that early this morning, before heading out to work. My day started out with three sales talks and three almost near buys, i did not give up hope for that was my momentum. My second drop of point was two sales talks and a frustrating demonstration to a very stubborn man. By my third drop of i was getting no's rude behavior form a simple hello and lots of no shows at the doors.
I happened to walk up to a lady while she was sitting on her front porch, about ready to cry. ( at this point i wanted to cry too) I walked up to try to sell her but she shut me down right away saying she got news from the doctor, she said it was devastating. When i asked her what was wrong and asked if she wanted me to listen. I being seriously genuion, was turned down. I turned away at that point think i really wasn't cut out for this job. i was crying at this point, in my mind after i finished that drop that day i was going to tell my boss that i couldn't take this job and that i wanted to be sent home. at this point i stopped crying long enough to walk to the door compose my self and knock on the door. when the lady came out i don't know what came out of my mouth but something happened, by the end of my sales pitch i had sold one gallon of cleaner. I had been trusting God all day that i could the quota sold, but by the end of my day God had taught to just have faith even though i was frustrated , tired, and just about to throw the towel in i was brought back to the realization that God good help me sell. i was amazed.
