Before the new job, I was losing interest fast in my old job. I mean FAST! To the point were I was not performing my best and my budget was about to start struggling. It was hard to apply myself to it. It was like torture forcing myself to do something I had lost ALL intereste in. And as usual, I began amending my resume and began my job hunt.
A friend of mine told me about a job opening at her company. When I looked at the postings on the website, there were two that I was interested in. The one I was really interested in was only 30 hrs a week and paid $9/hr, which cannot cover my expenses. So I applied for the other position which was full time.
I received an email for the hiring manager saying that position I applied for was filled but would like for me to interview for the other position. At first I was thinking, "No, that's not enough money." But then I was like, "Let me go on and interview. They can at least see my face and hear my talents. They may have another position one day and think of me."
So I interviewed with the hiring manager Friday, and later that day afterwards, I was scheduled for a second interview that Monday.
The whole weekend I thank God. Nothing in particular. Just thanked Him and was in high praise. I didn't get discouraged about anything. Not even the fact this job was 30 hrs a week for $9. I prepared my mine to either negotiate or just began looking for another job. Either way, I was in high praise.
The hiring manager talked to my friend who works that and ask how would I feel about the pay. My friend was like, "That's not enough...see what you can do."
Monday came. I was at my other job and my interview was on my lunch break.
Lunch came and I flew to get to my interview. Interviewed with the hiring manager and CEO and afterwards, I was just WAITING for them to tell me the pay. I was ready to negotiate! They asked if I had any questions and I said no. Then the hiring manager says she wish she could tell me the pay but she is waiting on some things....or something worded like that. Now my face expression was cool and I was like "Okay, that's fine.."staying cool, right. But in my mind, "GOD, WHAT YOU DOING??? YOU WORKING SOMETHING OUT??? DO WHAT YOU DO, LORD!"
So, I thanked them and they told me to be listening for a call that evening and I left. As I was leaving, kept on praising and thanking God. Didn't know what was about to happen but I knew God was working.
Right when I got home from work, I received a phone call from the hiring manager. She offered me the position but get this! They made it a full time position, she told me the benefits, and my salary for the year! While she was talking, I was in my apartment jumping up and down but keeping and talking cool on the phone like everything was normal. When I hung up I ran and jumped around my apartment punching the air, throwing my hands up praising God! I didn't know what to do or how to feel! I didn't know if I should cry or laugh! I did it all! Tears 2 seconds, laughed 2 seconds!
I got in the car and drove and didn't know where to go. Finally I went to Chedder's and took myself out. My friend met up with me and we shared how good God is.
So the point of this is: no matter what don't get discouraged. You don't know what God is doing in the background. Continue to praise and thank God. You don't have to thank Him for anything specific. Just thank Him and watch the favor come.
Receiving my email address from my new job!
