I travel for my job and one of my goals was to get to 2 million Marriott Points. I started this new job and I am staying at a Marriott. My thought is great, I will be getting tons of points. Well that is about to change.
I move into a Corporate Apartment on 2Mar2018. Some of you will be thinking that is great, but not when you want the points. I know that I am being a bit selfish, but there really is not much to traveling for your job other than to get some of the reward perks.
Not sure how I got moved to the top of the list as I am the one who has been here the least amount of time, but that is what happened. I have a long term stay at the cheapest rates possible and I have a long term car rental at the cheapest rates. Others have more expensive cars and more expensive rooms, but I guess they did not want to move. However, I would have thought that would not be a choice, but what do I know.
I know I am being childish in some ways, okay in a lot of ways. I have things set up in the hotel room the way I like. I am settled in and I do not want to move and reset everything up again. Ugh!
Do not get me wrong, in some ways it will be nice. I will have my own apartment that is much larger. It is fully furnished with internet and cable. It is closer to work. It looks nicer than where I am staying.
I guess more importantly, is this God’s will for me? Is there something I am supposed to do in this new location? Is this God’s way of testing me because He knows what I want? There are many questions that I have, but in the end it is about doing God’s will not matter what it is.
Usually, in times like this is when we revert back to what we know and understand. We get angry at God and want to blame Him. We just do not see the full picture, but only how it is affecting us at the time. How would you react? How did you react? Then how should you react?
