I’ve asked before I shared my testimony with anyone that they take a moment to glorify God before they hear what the Lord has done.

I lost my job in February 2020. It was the most devastating news. You see my career was always something that was right in my life, a constant, my pride. Two weeks or so after I stopped working, we went into full lockdown, globally covid had taken over.

I took solace in thinking that soon enough it will all be over and I will secure my dream job.

February 2021, a year on of looking for a job I had experienced all sorts of emotions, self doubt, abandonment by God, financial worry and loss, rejections, mental health concerns, hopelessness, self pity, self degradation, anger, embarrassment, physical health concerns…Many a job application rejected, two job offers below my ability that my spirit declined and many a health scare later, I found myself in the same predicament. I had felt so hopeful for the New Year.

March 2021, I’m totally helpless. I cried to God. I cried to my family. I cried to sleep. I have no one, no family of my own, no savings, my future plans are no longer my own, I don’t know what to do anymore after countless interviews. The worst part is I felt those even praying for me had grown helpless too and neglected me. I would occasionally join HOP and feel my hope stirred, even laugh and get off feeling refreshed.

Written words would be too many to detail what happened to me in this period and now words are insufficient to glorify God for His favour and mercy in my life. April 2021 I cried pure tears of joy, I held such clarity in my heart and in my mind about what God was doing and had done in my life.

You see He didn’t just give me a JOB after over a year of searching, He gave me a clear vision of what was coming before this job arrived, crystal clear dreams. Not only did He give me this, He blessed me with a job I wanted in a way I could have never imagined. He showed me why every other No was Necessary. You see I didn’t just make a turn with a new job, I made a turn with a new heart, with a renewed faith and relationship with God.

I understood that a lot of things happened for my protection and direction. Even as I write this I cry because you will never understand with mere words how the Lord transformed my situation, what He taught me in this year plus of hunting and hurting. Now I want nothing more than Him to do His will in every area of my life and I pray for strength if it involves waiting. It’s not easy, but it was worth the wait. Be encouraged, wait on the Lord. I hope this uplifts another soul.
