We mind our own business by taking care of God’s. Knowing that worship is not limited to the sanctuary on Sunday morning, the challenge is giving our best each day to the tasks we are called to complete. For Julie, this meant mastering the cash register at a local Burger King the summer she turned sixteen. In college, it involved a variety of jobs like sweeping stairs before class every morning, waiting tables on weekends, and serving as a telemarketer to pay the rent while completing an unpaid internship.

Julie thought life would get easier after earning her bachelor’s degree. Instead, she had more digging to do when the only job available in her major (Human Resource Management) was a receptionist position in the employment center of a large financial institution.

Why is it that, every time we climb out of a situation, we find ourselves digging in to overcome a new one? Julie wondered this as she worked her way up from the administrative ranks to a number of other positions including internal management consultant, management trainee, conversion supervisor, and retention manager.

By the fall of 2001, Julie thought she had found her calling in business intelligence. Figuring out how to get information out of a data warehouse and into the hands of the people who needed it came naturally to her but a painful experience before speaking at an international user conference for the reporting tool she helped implement at her company convinced Julie to climb out of her corporate comfort zone and create a new one as a writer and public speaker.

Julie lives in the Chicago area with her husband Bill and their two beautiful daughters, Katie and Hollie. She has written for CBN.com, AAA Living, and In Touch magazine.
