Answered Prayer
Disclaimer: This is a long overdue blog post.
It was when my previous employer (Interport) announced about the retrenchment that I started to get worried and at the same time glad that finally after more than a year of being in the "floating status", decision has been made by the management, and we can finally move forward. But as reality was beginning to sink in, I started to feel scared and afraid of what's going to happen to me and my family. Am I going to find a job immediately? Is the money I got from Interport enough for our needs for the times that I still can't find another job. But these fears, I just kept them all inside because I don't want to give the people around me the negative vibe, I want to show to them that life goes on after that. There are paths that will lead us to where we should go.
In reality, I prayed really really hard that God will guide me which way to go. And true enough, out of strolling around city square I decided to go to Capitol, to try to look for some job postings. Imagine my surprise when I found a posting looking for a researcher. By that time, what I have read from the posting felt like it was really for me. I don't know why and how, because when I try to raise this up to the ones interviewing me, it isn't quite like that. I really believe It was really God who pushed me to go there and let me read the post even though the post says that the deadline of the submission of applicants was on the 31st of May, and it was already July when I went there. I tried my luck and immediately called the number given when I returned to the office. I am really was blessed because they said that they are still accepting applicants. I immediately prepared my papers and submitted to their office, then they scheduled me for an exam. During the exam, I prayed once again that Lord if this is for me I will gladly work hard for this but if not, It's your will. I prayed hard for that because I never thought that I would pass the exam because I really am not confident with the answers I gave. But then, God is just so good to me. They informed me once again that I am scheduled for an interview, I was shocked to learn that I passed the exam. When the interview day came, I went to church first, I prayed for wisdom and that God would be there during my interview to strengthen me and give me courage. I don't know if I was able to convince them with my answers because I was so nervous that time and I cant remember some of the things I said. Maybe God was there beside me teaching me what to answer. I tried my best to answer with all honesty.
I did not expect so much because as what they said they were really looking for single because of the constant travels that the work demands. I was so surprised once again that they informed me that I am considered for the position. But of course, I prayed so much for it in between those waiting times. I trusted God so much that I wasn't that scared. But I have to admit that I got worried also because I waited like week or so, I even doubted God and that I was really sorry.
Fast forward to the first day I reported to work, I encountered the first day jitters of course, the awkward moments and all. But what surprised me was how they practice devotion every morning. Then realization came into me that God really paved this way for me to go, He gave me only the best for me, in order for me to grow career-wise and spiritual-wise as well.
Up until this day and for all the days to come, I will always look back to those days that God showed me His Divine Intervention to my life. And I will forever be grateful for that.
Thank you Lord because You lead me here. Guide me always Lord.
CEVI really is my answered prayer!
forever grateful,
Mamay
