I hate missing work, (AMC Star Theaters) because I love people, serving them. People miss me the
days I don't work, people miss me because they see Jesus in me. One day at work a lady fell in one of the
theaters and we didn't have any wheelchairs because some people stole ours. I told managers "We needed
wheelchairs because we can't fully serve those people who have trouble walking without them. If we don't
provide this service, they'd just go to other theaters." After she fell, a manager came out in the hall and
casually said, "Yeah, a lady fell in a theater." I immediately said, "Here take my wheelchair." He surprisingly
asked, "What about you baby?" I responded, I'll be okay, God gave me the ability to walk and the heart to
give away when there's a need." He responded, Oh bless your heart Shakira" I've extended my wheelchair
many other times. People miss me because they see Jesus in me. I think of other people before myself. I
extend characteristics of Jesus Christ to people with gentle smiles on my face everyday. Some people ask
me, "Why do I smile all the time?" I simply say, "Because God hasn't given me a reason to frown."
I treat people the way I want to be treated. People miss me because they see Jesus in me. A lady
came over to the side of the theater I was working on, and she said, "I just had to come over here and
meet you because you have a glow radiating from you." I perceive that glow to be, (God's Labor Of
Wisdom). After I extended my wheelchair, many people crowded around me. I felt like Jesus Christ
because of people's admirations. I'm alive for one sole purpose: to imitate Jesus Christ. I'm fulfilling that
purpose because he is who people see.
Philippians 4:8-9
Finally, brothers, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever
is admirable- if anything is excellent or praiseworthy- think about such things. Whatever you have received
or heard from me, or seen in me- put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
