Psalm 105:15King James Version

¹⁵ Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.

Ecc. 11:4

The word of God says not to wait for perfect conditions and to press forward. So I went to a job interview for a manager position and met all the qualifications and was almost offered a job… to be told that because I did not have daycare on the weekends that I could not work that position because as a manager you have to be available 24/7. Yeah, 12 years of work experience and certificates to be told that because I am a mother I cannot get the job at that particular store in this season. So, I was told that I qualify to be a crew member but to be paid on the higher end of salary because of my education and work experience. Yeah, I was not to happy about that but after praying God told me to go work the job as a crew member and to trust him. Ironic that store that is hiring cannot find any employees and claims that nobody wants to work, despite there strict criteria. In the midst of filling out job applications I came across a question that said , “religion is to persecute Christians”. Not even lying. On a job application, they are telling there workers in order to work there you have to persecute Christians. But not only that, women who have children are not being accepted in the manager positions and now nobody has enough employees and no one has managers because of that stupid rule. Yet, I will keep my job and keep going and no I will not be fired.

Even at my boyfriend J , job he is going through some things. All at once his co workers take their lunch break and leave him to do all the work by himself. So yes, everyone is going through tough times (my friend has been trained in welding). But you have to understand that though you may be going through tough times, God is not going to allow you to be fired from your job. Though some people may lie on you, there lie will be proven exactly as a lie and you will not be fired. I mean look at UberEats drivers, the customers lie ALL the time but that does not mean that the UberEats driver will be fired. Infact, the more you work UberEats the more your approval ratings go up and up. So, the moral of the story is you have to press forward and keep going. But most UberEats customer do tell the truth (%99).

In My Own Personal Life

In my own personal life, I know that I pursue education to earn more money and thank God I finally passed my college math classes. But in the midst of these times it is I know I had to keep going. For examples, Ruth father left me and abandoned me with Ruth all by myself. Ra’keem lied on me to the police and had me ejected from my apartment in New Bern, North Carolina. I had to move alone with Ruth and pay $720 for daycare that Ra’keem does not help with all. I was hired for a job and had no choice but to work. Then I met my boyfriend J, who helps me financially and provides a safe home. J also fixes my car for me because he went to trade school for welding and he has his own apartment. It was actually J , who told me that I made a bad decision in marrying Ra’keem, and Ra’keem was not the type of man that I should have married. My boyfriend J is four years younger me, but he is more successful and established and more mature than any man I dated in the past. So, there are good men out there you just have to pray.Even though J is Muslim and I am Christian, we are still in a happy and funny relationship with one another. Moral of the story that sometimes you can’t wait for the perfect situation to get out of the storms that come in life. If someone has a boat then get in that boat ASAP. My friend had a boat , I got in his boat to a better life. My job is the boat that I needed, even though I am qualified to be a manager for right now there is a persecution on mothers in manager positions so I have to keep going and moving forward despite of.

Keep Going

I realize that I have to keep going because no weapon formed against me shall prosper. When you are in the midst of trial and tribulations you have to pray for your desired outcome. Pray against the spirit of failure. Pray against losing your job. Praying that you keep your job. Pray that you and your boyfriend can fix your relationship. Pray that you and your boyfriend stay together. Pray that money will come. Pray . Pray. and keep praying !!
