Thanks to all who prayed for me. I did not get the job. I just found out at 3:00 PM EST.

All kinds of verses where popping out of head. Ladies that is why it is important to study the word. If it isno in you then it can't come out.

The first thing that popped in my head was, "In All Things " give thanks. I think it is in James.

Then "Count it all joy" You know the verses.

I realize that.

I count it as joy even though I am dissappointed. I feel honored in a way like God is saying have you considered this servant. And Satan is saying uh huh she won't worship you if she doesn't get the job. Huh? Who won't worship? I will worship more now. Hallelujah LORD! THANK YOU JESUS!! Thank you Jesus for keeping me form that Job. YOu know what is best for me. You see beyond me. You know my future. Glory to your name!

I'm about to get up and go in a stall.

I am sitting at my desk waving amy hand. um um um.
 
What an awesome attitude you have. I always get so down when things go wrong. I'm working very hard to get the attitude you have. Thanks for sharing, I needed to hear from someone with the right attitude.

I agree with the bolded area wholeheartly. God will never forsake you. He knows what best for us,even though we may not understand his reasoning behind his decision. He's preparing you for something greater! I admire your attitude.

God bless

Thank you. It is only God.

I am not this cool in all situations. I do have situations that need some help.

I always ask people who support me not to be upset or sad when these types of things happen. This is when I become upset.

No sooner than after I found out that I did not get the job. A new sistah on the job began to spill her heart out to me. How she feels ugly and has a low self esteem. Sayin all the horrible things about herself. She has a lot on her heart she has been here 3 weeks. As i was answering her statments. I was thinking. Lord is this the reason I am here.

I was like "Ok Lord" I see what's going on. We were Instant messaging each other. What is amazing is just yesterday a male co work told me.."She is lucky to have you. She needs a role model" I was like what??? Me ??? A what?? Role Model?

Now that I am thinking about it. I guess my mission on my current job is not over. I don't like to be a mother hen but it just comes out. There were 2 situations on my job this week were I felt bad because I thought that I was being to hard on co-workers about personal decisions they were making.

They came and thanked me at the end of the day. I felt like crying.

So proud of you that you understand that God must have something better. This was test and you passed it expect God to reward your faith and trust in Him. Still praying for you in Jesus Name.

Thank you so much.

It is always encouraging to hear thse types of things as I know that I am nothing. I am not worthy of such things. I don't take compliments well in these types of things. You have me over here crying. :cry: :cry:

All I want to do is please God. That is my number one goal which I don't think I do very well. This is why I cry when other people say the Lord is using me. What I really need to do is start looking at myself as God does. Blessed, his friend, wonderfully made.

My eyes are all red now. :lol:

Who are these people? What type of people would say such a thing? Don't listen to their message, listen to God. God will lead, but it's up to you to follow.
 
I admire your attitude, Zeal! I have been looked over for a lot of part-time/temp/intern jobs during my college years. I know God has something better in store for me. Your thread gives me encouragement to be even stronger.

Never give up. Keep your head up!

God bless! :kiss:

Yes, God has great things for those who desire and have passion to serve Him first. Life is about keeping our Father in heaven please and I am with you all the way on this. I think crying is such beautfiul thing because it connects us with our soul.

Poohbear - Now you know God is take of you too you have been such an Angel for so many of us empowering us with God's word. God has got to bless you He does not have a choose.
 
To Poohhbeer:

I am very encouraged. At one point I was down. I was always passed over. I could actually wallpaper my bedroom with the rejection letters.

But what's the use of moping? Saved people, we are some straight up schitzos. We don't don't know if we are coming or going. We have faith and then we doubt. We are blessed but then we look at other folks. We all need Jesus !!!:lachen:

I feel this way about myself. No one has ever said that to me. You know how John said that he was unworthy to tie Jesus' shoes. It's on the same vibe as John. That is what I meant.:)
 
Please remember Zeal that "Delay is not Denial". God is bigger than anything or anyone. I had a miracle concerning a car and it all worked out within 12 hours on the same day!!:) :)
 
Zeal, always remember that God's plan is not always a straight line. We often have curves, zigzags, and do-overs that don't take us directly to our destination. I must share my little testimony with you.

For the past 3 years I worked at a local community college while completing my AA Degree. I started as a work study student and worked my way up to the Assistant to one of the directors at the college. The atmosphere was so toxic, that I began to have stomach troubles and severe headaches at the end of each day. I did the work of 4-5 people, came in at 6am and left at 5pm. Took work home, you get the drift. For over a year I searched and searched for jobs and was denied at every turn. One job in particular, I really wanted, it was good pay and a good location. I could not get away from my current job to go to the interview. I was so dissapointed and kept asking God "what am I doing wrong? why can't I get out of this place?"

So late last year I got a call for an interview with a government agency. I was on their eligible list for the whole time I was searching and went on several interviews with this company and was never hired. So I went on this interview and before I could get back to my job, I received a call back for a 2nd interview. Praise God!

So I scheduled the interview and because I was going on 2-3 interviews a week, somewhere I got the time for the interview wrong. On that day, God kept telling me to call this agency and confirm the interview time. When I called, I thought it was for 3:00 pm and it was actually for 11:30 am! (It was already 11:00!)

I made it to the interview in time, Praise God, and the next morning there was an email asking me to contact the director of the agency. Because I was at work all day and didn't feel right discussing this at my desk, I waited until my lunch break to contact the director. He offered me the job on the spot!!! Hallelujah. So, they offered me almost 10,000 dollars more than I was making at the college! And they allowed me to start at the 1st of January, 2006, two months after the offer because I got paid Christmas holiday by being and employee of the College(2 weeks!)


This is how good God is, after I started, my new boss said that they almost offered the job to someone else because I didn't immediately return their call! (My boss is a christian and said that "something" told him to wait!) Then I looked at the original announcement for the job and what they were offering for the position was the same exact amount of pay from my original my old job! They paid me more than what they would have paid anyone else! This is the best job that I have ever had. My boss is already increasing my duties to get me reclassified so that I can make more money and talking about my "future"!


WAIT ON HIM!!!!! HIS WILL BE DONE!!!


Thank you Jesus!:D :D :D :D

Sorry for the long reply.:perplexed
 
crlsweetie912,

Thanks for posting your testimony!! I am going through a similar situation right now, and I know that GOD will bless and deliver me, but it is always so encouraging to hear the testimony from someone who has been there and made it to the other side of the situation already.

Thank you so much for sharing!
 
You are welcome, after it all happened and I looked at it and found out how God was "working on my behalf", I was amazed and so thankful!
