#2023 Thanksgiving
Last year this time, I was laid off from work. I was quite happy that God answered my prayer that I didn’t fit in that role.
I was at crossroads then to whether work or not. I waited on the Lord for months. I started attending Wednesday church prayers regularly just to hear from Him something. But I didn’t hear a single word from the Lord for 6 months.
My joy of being at home turned to doubt, did I ask the right thing. And then it turned into fear, will I get a job after 6 months break?
One of those days, as I was waiting for God’s will about my career, God spoke to me through 1 Thess 5: 16-18 to rejoice always n pray n give thanks in all circumstances. He talked to me cleary that if He can get a job after 8+ yrs break, is it difficult for Hom to get after few months’ break.
That calmed the waves of thoughts within me and filled me with His peace. And I decided to rejoice in the Lord whether I work at office or only at home.
In June I had to come to India for a wedding. I thought I will take break for another 6 months. Within the same week I returned from India, got call for interview and the next week I got an offer with 40% hike.
Not just that He gave me a wonderful team n lot of learning opportunities over the past 6 months. God is faithful and He will fulfil His promises.
Those who are waiting on the Lord to make decisions big or small, don’t give up. Never settle for anything less than God’s plan.
*Isaiah 30:15, Lamentations 3:25,26* great encouragement from God while waiting to hear Him.
God has enabled me to complete 15 years of married life. He has carried me thus far and sustained me. I can’t believe He is faithful even though am not.
Surely lines have fallen to me in pleasant places. Thanking God for everything.
Still praying for my regular QT, daily devotion with kids, to be more long suffering and salvation of entire family.
