a great financial blessing


First a brand new car a few weeks ago and now a brand new job that I didn't think I would be offered! After much, much, much prayer and patients and fighting through impatience and staying firm with my faith, (with the help and support of others) the job came. For a long time, I had been on interview after interview after interview.

Over 6 weeks ago I applied for this position and forgot about it. They called over 2 weeks ago and I went on the interview. I was excited about it because it had gone so well. I live in an area where unemployment is high and the cost of living is low. So when I was offered a position that pays $10.29 an hour starting pay I nearly passed out.  But before the job came, the day after the interview I realized something. All this time I had been asking for God to help me get a job. I mean I had been on many interviews and I prayed and everyone around me prayed. There were times I wondered, what am I doing wrong? God has given me so much, has provided me so much: a brand new car, food on the table, clothes, a beautiful house, a wonderful boyfriend, my pets.....I have never been without. The day after the interview, I realized that I had been asking God for a job without no real reason or purpose behind it. I have no immediate bills, nor am I struggling to make ends meet. It dawned on me that I had not thought things through about what I would do after I got a job. I have been given so much and I realized that my purpose would be to live to give as God has given me. When I realized that and confessed to God that it is now my desire to live to give, the very next day the company called and said you're hired. I couldn't believe it. All the other times I had come close to being hired elsewhere, all I did was pray and ask God give me a job! But I had no plan afterwards, no purpose, I just wanted a job and that was it. But this time, I felt the Holy Spirit move me to a new direction that I had not realized and when I found that purposed and confessed it, the job came.

Of course there was 2 weeks of background checks, tests and a lot of impatience.

I want to thank everyone who prayed for me. This is a great blessing that I am truly thankful for.

Praise God and thank you everyone that prayed for me, I will not forget it.

You're welcome, Steve! I knew that God has great plans for you!


Whenever we give up something as a "living sacrifice" to the Lord, He blesses us and makes us a blessing to all that we come to meet!


SO LET'S NOW PARTY!!!
