Testimony time: Two months ago, the storm started. Little sister needs surgery. Gotta get to New Orleans last minute. Get notice: Departmental re-org, your position is being eliminated. Money I anticipated for trip not coming through. Still gotta get to New Orleans. Surgery scheduled. Surgery scheduled for the week I am due to be laid off. Meet with CEO, get extension, new layoff date pushed back 21 days- Look at God. Go to New Orleans. -Look at God. Surgery is a success - Look at God. Return from New Orleans. Seven job interviews - seven nos. Standing in Faith -Look At God. Grandfather has stroke, on respirator for days. Two more job interviews, two more no s. Pseudo boo thang and I have argument, no longer talking after 7 years of knowing each other. Anxiety attack. Job offer paying less than I was making. -Look at God. Final day at work. Final paycheck issued, None of my PTO was used while I was in New Orleans. Extra 40 hours. - Look at God. Grandpa back up and running. -Look at God. Lil sister healthy and recovering well. -Look at God. Got a call today. Second job offer. Salary? Starting at EXACTLY $10 MORE than the job that laid me off was paying. -LOOK AT GOD! Lesson: no matter what the circumstances around you look like, always LOOK AT GOD. Lord, publicly repent for my worry in Your plan for my life. I know that Your love is unchanging for me and I am so unbelievably grateful. Just when I think I have it all figured out You scrap my plans and come with something so amazing, so outside of my realm of possibility, that I cant help but to call Your name and proclaim You the King of my life. I am undeserving of this type of grace and I just THANK YOU JESUS. And thank you to all of my friends who knew what I was going through and stood firm to support me through it. I love you all so much.
