Let it be widely known and proclaimed throughout the entire universe that my husband has gotten a promotion, effective today. Yippee! Well, the internal paperwork is official today, and payment on the promotion begins when three more contracts are officially signed by the doctors and hospitals who have agreed to placement arrangements. So, though his paycheck won't be affected until the contracts are in, the pay on the placements will be retroactive to today. Yippee! (James is a physician recruiter who places doctors from all over in opportunities in the upper-midwestern portion of the U.S.)
He's been working towards this natural internal promotion for a while now, and was 1/2 a placement away from meeting the goal a couple of months ago. Unfortunately, because the way the placement credit works, when he didn't get that 1/2, he had to place another three for promotion qualification. (He couldn't just have a 1/2 placement credit the next month to qualify.)
That's as confusing as can be, I know. The organization of his company, which is totally legitimate, is arranged similarly to an MLM scheme, the legitimacy of which is highly questionable. He's tried to explain the pay structure to me in detail several times, leaving me to reply, "just tell me when you'll bring home more money." My friends, that time is now.
This month, several doctors took the jobs he had to offer, so at one fell swoop, he's been promoted and will be given a very attractive commission check at the end of March. After that, our monthly income will increase by about 20%. What a tremendous and undeniable blessing!!
"Then Peter replied,
“I see very clearly that God shows no favoritism."
Acts 10:34 NLT
"And my God will meet all your needs
according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus."
Philippians 4:19 NIV
"...it will be given to you.
A good measure, pressed down,
shaken together and running over,
will be poured into your lap."
Luke 6:38b NIV
"For God does not show favoritism."
Romans 2:11 NLT
