Last year around this time, I moved to the Atlanta area from Savannah to pursue a once in a lifetime internship opportunity with a professional sports team. Everything went great and I was believing God that I would secure a permanent position from the internship. Unfortunately, it was outside of God’s will for me so I did not earn that job.
Because I have always wanted to live in the Atlanta area even after graduating college, I felt like it was my perfect opportunity, the right timing to be there. So I prayed prayed and prayed for an opportunity. After being jobless for weeks, He enabled me to obtain two jobs.
Starting off fresh in a new city can be a struggle financially. Working those 2 jobs definitely overwhelmed me physically, mentally and spiritually. I was not making enough to provide for myself. My work schedule did not allow me to attend church on Sundays. I was also in battle about if I should return back to school. After aggressively praying and fasting, the spirt of discernment rested upon my heart to move back home. God’s grace and mercy enabled me to remain in ATL for that length of time. Through all the struggles, I still listened to the sermons of Pastor Lisa and Pastor Datha, and continuously paid my tithes & offering. I moved back to Sav in Nov 2019.
When I thought my life was moving backwards, God moved me forward in INCREASE. Now that I am back in the area, I am enrolled in school, I have a job that pays me more than I’ve been making in ATL. All while continuously making deposits into the kingdom. With this global pandemic, my department went into a furlough. When I should have been struggling, I have been overly blessed financially by avenues of unexpected income. God has generated a new job position for me in my department. I can certainly say, I have not lacked anything in the midst of this global storm. It blows my mind every-time I think about it. Thank you Jesus!!!
