A wish comes True

I did post here few months ago about my frustrations of not getting the job I applied for. I know I can do the job and I am qualified than the ones they hired because I have the degree while the one they hired,,,,, well I don't know if she has the degree for that position. It took me several days to get over my frustrations and aggravation but I said to myself, "someday they will be the one to call me even if I don't apply because they will need my service" those are just wishes with the hope that it will come true. From that time on... I forget all about it and I busy myself with other things.

One day, I received a call from them asking me if I am interested for another position opened in their institution. Well, the job opening is not in my line of expertise, so I decline immediately because I don't want to give them false hopes that I can do the job even if I have no experience in that area. I don't care if I have no work, I don't want to experiment doing things that I have no idea of how to do it for the sake of having a job.

After a year, they call me again for another job offer, well, I prayed about it because I love that kind of job. After days of prayer, I got the job. They hired me without any interview or whatsoever. What I can say is that, your wish will come true if God will permit it to happen.
I never send any application to them anymore, I just did once and when they did not call me instead they hired another person, I opted not to send any application anymore. What is aggravating in this situation is that I work with them for 3 years as volunteer, then when there's a job opening instead of hiring me,,,,, because they know me well enough due to my volunteering, they hire someone who never volunteer to work with them, and is new to the area for she come from another place and just new to the area. That's what pissed me off. But anyway, my wish comes true and that is the most wonderful thing that had happened.

Whisper a prayer of thanks

Yes, I am thankful to God for the opportunity of being hired in spite of the job crisis all around us today. Everyday, we keep on hearing about people who lost their jobs. Tough, tough, very tough economic situations we are facing now. But then, I am thankful that at last, I got a job but I waited to have a job for five years. Anyway, everything has a season. Now is my time.

I love the job I am doing now. I worked more that the hours that I suppose to work and all those extra hours I considered them as volunteer work because I am not paid for extra and I don't mind it because I love this kind of work I am doing. When I was working before, I always work for extra mile, without pay and that was in my country. Now that I am here in America, I still do the same. I just consider my extra hours as volunteer work. This is just my way of saying "thank you for the opportunity of having work in this very tough job hunting situation we are in.

Whispering a prayer of thanksgiving is all my heart can say. Thank you Lord for everything.
